Beautiful area Kate, a few inspiration photos for you, you could add a range hood between the windows and add a fabulous kitchen even a pizza oven, you won’t want to go inside, could look gorgeous.

Dear Kate, just adding to Julie's images:

This idea makes clever interpretation of placement, ends up being an artwork.

I like the idea of the jaggered edge, but would even add more oddities to the placement and in your situation, not shiny and maybe warm colours - rust, ochre, even limey green.

If you are doing a Hamptosn style renovation then I would be consistant, and play up the symmetry, such as in this photo. You really want the pool and outlook to be the focal point, and not your splashback. I would go with a mirrored splashback to brick more light into your space and provide a better connection with your pool, rather than making the splashback a feature element.

A fireplace would be nice in MEB, it could be built out in between the windows with a narrow chimney with your out door kitchen either side
