In my estimation the site for our third phase is the most *awe inspiring* of our three phases thus far.
One of the features that set X apart is its elevation of some 20 meters above sea level which affords wonderful vistas of the surrounding turquoise seas and the benefit of the accompanying sea breezes.

qui vous éblouira le plus
La difficulté vient du superlatif il me semble - autrement j'aurais préféré le "couper le souffle" de JJ
ou peut-être, "qui vous laissera sans voix" ???
