Sustainable is not something that we do; it is who we are
For us, being environmentally friendly and socially responsible can be successfully wedded to uncompromisingly gorgeous hideaways. Empty of waste, toxins and plastic, and full of spirituality, celebration and joy.
Plastic Freedom
Our goal to be free of unnecessary plastic (our “18 Most Unwanted”) is on track. Along the way, we have developed some great new best practices which we are sharing with our suppliers and industry as a whole. What started as bottling our own water is developing into so much more. The end of plastic is only the start of the story.
Our approach to sustainability
We’re all part of a global community on a shared Earth. That’s why you don’t just observe the local heritage or ecology while you’re with us – you’re part of it. You can even help us give back to it.

Making smart use of the land topography, orientation and renewable building materials to create spaces that are vibrant and alive.

Employing and sourcing locally and leaving a legacy through education, sanitation and healthcare programs for future generations.

Preserving and rebuilding environments through our responsible operations and protecting habitats on land and in the water.
