VILLAS
With distinctive designs inspired by four ancient lifestyles, our villas offer the ultimate comfort, luxury, and rarity of experience. Shaded by an enchanted canopy of rainforest and connected together by a network of jungle walkways, our villas are complete with a private pool and are designed for guests wishing to experience a rustic, yet lavish, escape.

The designs of the villas have been inspired by the stories, cultures, traditions, and lifestyles of four groups of fictitious ancient Phuket settlers. Their characteristics are reflected in all elements of the villas and cottages, including the architecture, furnishings, decorative pieces, and even textiles.

Keemala’s 38 pool villas are available as one-bedroom, two-bedroom, single-storey, as well as duplex styles. Details of villa types and features available below.

BIRD’S NEST POOL VILLAS
The ‘Rung-Nok’ community inspired the design of the eight ‘Bird’s Nest Pool Villas’. This group enjoyed an opulent way of life compared to other clans. Their craving for exclusivity resulted in the woven tangle of a birds nest design. This sumptuous villa design offers the largest villa in Keemala with a total space of 185m² including outdoor terrace and pool.

DINING
Fine dining at Keemala is a holistic gastronomic experience complete with wholesome and flavourful creations, a backdrop of woodland splendour, and seamless service. Our gastronomy team believes in offering a ‘Feast for the Senses’ using sincere and wholesome cooking techniques. We have two dining destinations to enjoy cuisine outside of the villa.

The main restaurant, ‘Mala Restaurant’, for all day dining, at ‘Cha-La’ pool side for refreshments in the sun. Our cozy lounge area inside one of the main pods is perfect for afternoon tea, while the wine cellar is ideal for intimate dinners.

At any of Keemala’s dining locations, guests can choose the healthy Spa Cuisine version of the menu for a lighter, wholesome option. A full vegetarian and vegan menu is also available, as well as gluten-free and dairy-free selections. A variety of herbs, vegetables, and fruits are grown at Keemala and sourced from trusted suppliers.

THE BEACH
Beach lovers may also enjoy and explore other neighbouring beaches including the lively Patong Beach, serene Laem Singh, or venture further north and enjoy Nai Thon, or the quiet long stretch of Mai Khao that is protected under the Thai National Parks.

Although we are tucked away in the greenery, we are close enough to the beach. Keemala is just a few minutes car ride down to Kamala Beach. We offer complimentary transport to and from the beach throughout the day.

KAMALA BEACH
Kamala Beach is 1.5kms away, and just 4 minutes away by our complimentary transport. It is beautifully quiet in low season and offers mighty waves, ideal for surfing. The contrasting conditions in high season offer tranquil, clear water, perfect for those who love to swim, snorkel or stand up paddleboard.

PATONG BEACH
You would have most likely have heard of Patong. The popular hotspot is notorious for its vibrant nightlife and bustling souvenir shops. The beach is also quite lively, and a nice spot to chill and catch some sunshine after a few hours of shopping before returning to the sanctuary of Keemala. Patong is 9kms away and is a 20 minutes drive.

LAEM SINGH
For those who enjoy smaller and lesser-frequented beaches, Laem Singh is a nearby beach that offers something more picturesque than the busy Patong Beach. It’s just 10 minutes away by car and now only accessible by boat, or stand up paddle board!

NAI THON 
We included this beach, as it is one of our favourites. In dry season the water is crystal clear and there is a little snorkeling to be enjoyed at either side of the beach amongst the rocks. In the quiet season, the crashing waves aren’t for swimming, but the energy is exhilarating. The drive takes around 40 minutes and it’s 20kms away by small beach roads.

MAI KHAO BEACH
If you choose to visit this stretch of national park beach, you must ensure that you also enjoy the drive. It is 50 minutes away and 30kms, so on the way you could stop off at Layan Beach at the northern tip of Bang Tao Beach, drop in to Nai Thon Beach; perhaps even stop by in one of the restaurants on the way for lunch. If you take the beach road, it is scenic all the way up to the airport and beyond.

DINING
Amanpuri’s family of restaurants invites guests and non-residents on a gastronomic journey around the world, delving into the authentic culinary traditions of Thailand, Japan, Italy and the Mediterranean against the stunning backdrop of the Phuket coast.

NAMA RESTAURANT
Set beside the sea, Nama pays modern-day homage to Japan’s ancient culinary heritage, combining seasonal Japanese ingredients with local Phuket produce to create dishes of great delicacy and finely balanced flavour. Nama is open for lunch and dinner to both resort guests and non-residents between December and April.

Meaning ‘raw’ in Japanese, Nama follows Japan’s Unesco-recognised tradition of washoku, a style of cuisine that elevates cooking to an art form, often taking years for chefs to perfect. Exquisitely crafted sushi and sashimi are at the heart of a menu that celebrates the finest seasonal ingredients, prepared using techniques that bring essential flavours to the fore.

The secret to washoku lies in the chef’s understanding of an ingredient and how to isolate and amplify the essence of each component of the dish, resulting in beautifully clean and balanced flavours on every plate. Though the process of preparation can be highly complex, washoku is at heart a celebration of simplicity.

Although specialist produce is easily obtained direct from the markets of Osaka and Kyoto so that dishes can be crafted with absolute authenticity: Phuket’s tropical setting offers Nama’s chefs a cornucopia of exceptional ingredients on the doorstep, sharing space on the menu with Japanese delicacies such as chargrilled Wagyu beef.

ARVA RESTAURANT
Open to guests and non-residents, Arva is Amanpuri’s tribute to the conviviality and warmth of classic Italian cooking. Freshly caught fish, free range chicken and organic fruit and vegetables are paired with skill and dexterity by the executive chef to create a sociable, seasonal and sustainable menu showcasing timeless Italian recipes in their purest form.

Meaning ‘cultivated land’, Arva follows the southern Italian tradition of ‘Cucina Del Raccolto’, and is creating exquisite dishes out of honest ingredients, grown in gardens or on farms, foraged from forest floors, or plucked fresh from the oceans. The chef’s seasonal menu includes fresh pasta and risotto, along with bold, hearty piatti principali.

The local community is an essential source for Arva’s fresh, organic produce. Every day, Khun Somnai, a fisherman from the local village of Bangtao, brings the prime of his latest catch to Amanpuri, including snapper, soft-shell crab, mud crabs and live grouper, caught to order.

Free-range organic chicken and eggs are supplied by an orphanage in Phang Nga, allowing Arva to offer sharing platters of herb-roasted chicken; whereas the produce markets of Phuket Old Town ensure a daily supply of tropical fruits, fiery chillis and fresh vegetables.

BUABOK RESTAURANT
Amanpuri’s main restaurant offers guests and non-residents an authentic Thai dining experience, shaped by the lifelong passion and peerless culinary expertise of the Executive Chef. Thai-inspired and international classic breakfasts are served here beside the pool each morning.

From smooth, aromatic curries to fresh salads and perfectly balanced pad thai, Buabok’s menu provides an insight into the best of Southern Thai cuisine, featuring freshly sourced produce, catch of the day from local fishing boats, and homegrown herbs and vegetables from the Amanpuri gardens.

Alongside Thai staples, the Buabok menu showcases the distinct culinary culture of southern Thailand, with fresh fish from the Andaman, fiery curries, piquant tom yam soups laced with lemongrass, and fragrant green mango salads with betel leaves and crispy soft shell crab.

THE SUNSET TERRACE
The Sunset Terrace at Amanpuri is an idyllic setting offering breathtaking views across the resort’s iconic bay and the Andaman Sea. Whether gathering around the table with friends or enjoying a family event, this new drinking and dining venue, with its creative cocktail and food menu, celebrates coming together by providing a feast for the senses and an ideal location to enjoy a pre or post dining experience, or special occasion.

Situated next to Amanpuri’s iconic steps, with a panoramic view of the Andaman Sea, The Sunset Terrace is the perfect place to linger for sunset drinks or celebrations. Guests are able to take advantage of direct access to the beach, delighting in the soundtrack of the waves as the sun dips below the horizon.

Together with Arva, The Sunset Terrace is styled as a gastronomy and mixology hub, with cocktails crafted for pre-dinner drinks while post dinner drinks serve as a digestive with a sweet petit four pairing, as well as the location for private cocktail making masterclasses and other events throughout the year.

THE BEACH TERRACE
Open seasonally for drinks and dining, Amanpuri’s Beach Terrace showcases an authentic selection of local Thai specialties and fresh Mediterranean dishes alongside wood-fired pizzas and vibrant salads. With the Andaman Sea in full view, the lounge-style venue is ideal for a relaxing lunch.

A live grill and wood-fired oven harness the flavours of organic meats, wild fish and handmade pizzas in The Beach Terrace’s outdoor kitchen. Amanpuri specialities including Grilled Tiger Prawns, Catch of The Day and the organic ‘James’ Burger are cooked outdoors over wood and charcoal for a true alfresco dining experience.

Traditional Thai ingredients influence The Beach Terrace’s menu which also boasts several vegetarian dishes.

CELEBRATIONS
An atmospheric sunset destination, the terrace is perfect for groups celebrating special occasions, alongside private dining experiences. Dine by torchlight under the magnificent night sky with one’s very own beach barbeque, or alternatively, come together around the table to share wood-fired pizzas with made with indulgent Italian ingredients.

BARBECUE BY CANDLELIGHT

SPA & WELLNESS

Follow this with a classical Thai massage, either aromatic with herbal compresses, or dry with deep stretching or pressure point stimulation. End with a personalised facial that leaves the skin glowing.

Teaching basic self defence and emphasising the importance of a healthy mind and body, Muay Thai is superb for building strength and agility while toning and conditioning muscles.

Step into Amanpuri’s professional Muay Thai boxing ring for an authentic training experience. Also known as Thai boxing, Muay Thai is called ‘the art of eight limbs’ because it combines the use of fists, elbows, knees and shins.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
One of the primary characteristics of traditional medicine is to approach the root cause of a condition or problem by treating the body as a whole. Amanpuri’s TCM therapists employ the holistic procedure known as the Four Diagnostic Methods to discover patterns of disharmony or imbalance and assess what the body needs.

Based on this analysis, a detailed questionnaire and an in-depth discussion, the consultant recommends a schedule of treatments to address personal health needs and achieve wellness goals.

WELLNESS IMMERSIONS
Lasting three nights or more, Amanpuri’s tailored Immersions are engineered to help guests increase fitness and performance, cleanse and detox, achieve long-term weight management and redress hormonal imbalances.

INTENSIVE IMMERSION
Unique to Amanpuri, these in-depth holistic programmes last five nights or longer, beginning with a comprehensive medical consultation and examination on arrival.

Medical diagnostics including blood-panel and heavy-metal OligoScan testing inform a bespoke programme of prescribed medical treatments, as well as a personalised nutrition plan, customised private movement sessions, and specialised therapies and spa treatments.

LIFE RESET
Designed to transform participants physically, mentally and emotionally, this pathway lifts guests from a state of exhaustion to a place of equilibrium and positivity. This fully personalised wellness programme tackles burnout, from poor lifestyle habits and detachment, to tension headaches, skin breakouts and sleeplessness.

Curated to give you exactly what you need in terms of nutrition, stress management and coping mechanisms, the Immersion is tailored to personal circumstances and health needs, addressing every aspect of burnout for a complete and long-lasting lifestyle reset.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Approaching the issue of weight management with sensitivity and expertise, this Immersion pathway is designed anew for every individual, whether wishing to shift unwanted weight and address its root emotional causes, gain muscle mass or permanently break bad habits to achieve a lasting new reality.

An initial consultation and optional blood analysis form the basis of the Original Immersion. The tests address such key factors as pH levels for optimal digestion, cravings, hormonal imbalances and weakened immunity.

Every meal, whether raw, liquid or cooked, is nutritionally aligned to personal needs, removing stress and inflammatory markers to promote an internal environment adaptive to self-healing and change.

DETOX & CLEANSING
This pathway holistically resets mind, body and spirit for a new start. Counteracting the effects of pollution and a hectic lifestyle to rest, cleanse and nourish the body, it also helps dispel negativity, forge new neural pathways and increase mental acuity.

Curated afresh for every individual to address the unique needs, this fully personalised programme naturally stimulates the detoxification pathways of the body, removing the obstacles to wellness created by emotional eating, bad habits and high-stress lifestyles. Treatments concentrate on clearing toxicity, draining the lymph, and releasing tension to relax and renew the body and mind.

MINDFULNESS & STRESS MANAGEMENT
Gain a deep sense of peace and relaxation, and develop the skills for managing a stressful lifestyle with a calm spirit and focused mind.

Taking each guest’s unique situation into consideration, this pathway enhances quality of life by mitigating the negative effects of ageing, stress and environmental factors from the inside out. Every person’s circumstances and challenges are different, so no two Immersion will be the same.

The practices of meditation, yoga and reflection are combined with modalities that encourage inner healing (cranial sacral therapy, reconnective healing and Reiki), those that purify (exfoliation) and those that calm the central nervous system (massage).

EVENTS
At a traditional Thai Buddhist wedding, the ceremony is often performed by up to five monks who garland bride and groom with fragrant phuang malai, entwined to symbolise the coming together of two individuals.

The couple are then blessed with holy water before celebrations fill the air with joy and merriment – a truly sacred occasion which is believed to give every couple the happiest start in their journey together.

At Amanpuri – one of the most fabled retreats in South East Asia – guests are invited to create their own customs, incorporating as much or as little convention into their occasion as they wish, ensuring the day is marked with utmost significance. From the resort’s peaceful peninsula, there are a number of uniquely private locations to host any style of event.

Its exquisite oceanside villas and pavilions set amid verdant gardens and coconut palms are ideal for more intimate occasions, while its midnight blue pool and regal sweep of stone steps leading to secluded Pansea Beach, offer a backdrop filled with drama and opulence.

WEDDINGS
Choose to take inspiration from Amanpuri’s surroundings with traditional Thai music and dancers, elephant rides, and fire and khon (masked) performers for after dark.

Alternatively, allow Aman’s expert event planners to bring one’s own vision to life where no request is too big or too small. An aisle spanning the swimming pool offers the bride a dramatic entrance, or a post-dinner fireworks display adds an element of surprise.

For those hosting multi-day events, an island-hopping cruise of Phang Nga bay with a beach barbeque provides the perfect opportunity for guests to gather in the days preceding the wedding.

CELEBRATIONS
Amanpuri’s private peninsula offers a host of venues for special events including spectacular Amanpuri Villas, the magnificent Beach Club, and Arva, Nama and Buabok restaurants. Capturing the warmth and generosity of spirit so unique to Thai culture, Amanpuri’s dedicated team oversees every aspect of a celebration.

From menus, music and entertainment, to flowers, decorations, group activities and cultural experiences, every detail is taken care of, ensuring hosts and their guests feel completely at home.

EXPERIENCES & ACTIVITIES
Surrounded by the tranquil Andaman Sea and framed by white-sand beach, Amanpuri is the starting point for an enriching array of water-bound adventures, cultural explorations and nature tours in Phuket Island. From underwater exploration and high-speed watersports to educational experiences for children, Amanpuri offers activities and excursions for guests of all ages and interests.

The Mastercraft Star is the original high-performance vessel, allowing Amanpuri guests to experience a wide array of high-speed ocean thrills – wakeboard, wakeskate, hydrofoil or old-school waterski. Amanpuri’s seasoned watersports team are on hand to guide guests through new skills or help build on previous experience to achieve daring new feats.

DRIFT AWAY

Take a seat on an easy-to-use Schiller Bike to enjoy a leisurely ride exploring the waters – a wonderful way to connect with nature at a gentle pace. Take a stand-up paddleboard around the bay, or slow right down and perfect your poise with a private yoga lesson on the board.

CHILDREN’S WELLNESS

WONDERS OF NATURE
Discover the beauty of the Phuket’s lush natural landscape with guided treks through the pristine rainforest. A four-hour morning hike in Khao Phra Thaeo National Park brings guests face to face with a startling array of indigenous flora and fauna, including rare white-backed palms, and colourful birds such as the red-billed malkoha, the greater racket-tailed drongo and red-backed sea-eagle – as well as providing opportunities to see dramatic waterfalls and meet playful gibbons in their natural habitat.

STREETS OF THE OLD TOWN
Phuket’s colourful markets are a fascinating way to sample traditional Thai food, watch street performers, and browse local arts and handicrafts. Set in a charming pocket of Phuket Old Town, Walking Street Market is well worth a visit on any day of the week, but we recommend that you time yours to coincide with the vibrant weekly night market.

On Sunday evenings the old Sino-Portuguese houses lining the street light up with bright colours as the spaces between them fill with buskers, performers, and stalls selling local food, handicrafts, clothing and souvenirs.

GOLF
Phuket is blessed with six superlative courses, spread over coconut plantations, costal cliffs and beautifully landscaped gardens. They include the revered Blue Canyon Golf & Country Club, a PGA Tournament host that is home to two championship courses. Amanpuri guests are free to use the resort’s collection of high-quality clubs, with both right-handed and left-handed men’s and women’s’ sets available.

At the entrance of the cave is a chedi that looks similar to the famous Wat Arun in Bangkok. However, it is what is inside that offers the main attraction – an enormous gold reclining Buddha that is both majestic and timeless.

The cave also has several standing Buddha figures, important religious items, shrines and stupas that can be visited via a series of staircases and paths snaking around stalagmites and other rock formations within the cave.

Just outside the temple monkeys eagerly wait for tasty treats. It is possible to buy food for the monkeys from several vendors that have set up shop near the temple. Many vendors also sell cold drinks, fresh fruit, and Thai snacks for visitors to enjoy.

One of the world’s most stunning destinations can be found 12 nautical miles south of Phuket, on the Andaman island of Racha Yai. An expansive white-sand crescent bay with azure waters creates the postcard-perfect backdrop for the five-star luxury island resort, The Racha.

With eco-chic luxury living, guests choose to ‘get-way from-it-all’ without taking anything away from the environment. Experience the exquisite Racha resort – a sanctuary for mind, body and spirit.

Architecture & Development
All the resort’s structures are built in harmony with the island’s natural topography. No land was cut or filled in the building process. Minimizing rainwater run-off from flowing into the sea that would otherwise be detrimental to coral life in the bay.

Through a series of innovatively designed gutter drains and underground sump tanks, rainwater run-off is pumped back to the center of the island and allowed to flow back freely into the ground, replenishing the earth’s water bank.

The coconut tree, the symbol of The Racha, takes pride of place at the resort. Many of the trees you see are the island’s original inhabitants. Villas were built around them. For every coconut tree that was cut, two were planted to replace it.

Villa Features
Condensation water from air conditioning is used to fill the footbath outside every villa’s front door. Special heat exchangers are used to provide an ample supply of zero-energy hot water for the bathrooms from each villa’s air conditioning system.

Shower and bath toiletries are contained in ceramic vessels instead of plastic. All bath products are made from the highest-quality locally sourced organic products. All villas have double thick exterior walls – reducing the energy load on air conditioning.

There are no fabric curtains in all villas – thus no laundry required to clean them. To save on power, energy saving bulbs or LED rope lights are used throughout the resort. Instead of using chlorine, all swimming pool water is ozone treated – the most environmentally sound, chemical free, skin-friendly technology available.

Resort Grounds
Water features play a vital part on the grounds. Ecologically, they also act as water catchment areas. The rare Rak Talay trees, fronting the resort, are found only on a few islands in the Andaman Sea.

Many species of butterflies – among them Glassy Tigers Parantica aglea maghaba & Common Indian Crows Euploea core gordatii are drawn to these trees when in bloom.

The lush greenery provides a stable ecosystem for many of the island’s animal inhabitants. Many creatures, from the Green Tree Frog Litorai caerulea (also a mascot for The Racha) to the giant placid Water Monitor Varanus salvator, feed on the insects that co-exist with the plants.

Mountain bikes and low emission ATVs are available for guests to explore the island. The Anumba Spa uses the highest-grade essential oils and organic spa products. Whenever possible, only the highest quality locally sourced, paraben-free spa products are used.

Villas
Spread over 20 acres of verdant tropical grounds and built in low-rise harmony with the environment, 85 villas of eight category types provide for every creature comfort.

For those preferring serenity, one might wish to connect with nature while strolling the resort’s grounds, swim in three ozonated pools, peruse the library, or indulge in treatments at The Racha’s famed Anumba Spa. Alternatively, there’s the luxury of simply watching the world go by.

Anumba Spa
How apt is it that one of the Andaman Sea’s most beautiful islands also plays host to one of Asia’s top ten island spa destinations? At The Racha’s serene Anumba Spa, expert and caring therapists restore and rejuvenate mind and body with signature natural treatments and oils.

VIP couples’ suites, steam rooms and rain showers are just part of the pampering. Within the lush spa grounds, an ocean-facing balance-fitness gym and OM studio offers guided holistic movement classes. Relax, stretch and breathe. And find oneself.

Racha Yai Diving
Superb water clarity and abundant marine life makes diving at our island home one for the bucket list. Water temperature ranges from 27-30 degree Celsius. Coral begins almost immediately at the waters edge and starts to taper off around 20 meters.

Beginners start their dive in a shallow bay with a sandy bottom, surrounded by coral gardens. Certified divers will be dropped in deeper water and can enjoy drift dives encountering blue-spotted stingray, shoals of barracuda, grouper, and a many unforgettable colorful reef fish.

Dive Sites

Staghorn Reef has large staghorn corals, giant clams, visiting olive turtles, titan triggers and if you are lucky, manta rays. At Lah Bay, you’ll find 3 boat wrecks at a depth of 18-25 meters with resident batfish, shoals of glassfish, giant morays and large groupers under the wrecks.

And Beyond…
Enjoy day dive trips to Racha Noi Island / Phi Phi Island / Shark Point / Anemone Reef King Cruiser Wreck & Dok Mai island in the Dive Center’s purpose-built dive boats.

Water Sports Center
Few settings on earth are as inspired as Batok Bay, which boasts a myriad of activities, including snorkeling, swimming, people watching and picturesque beach strolling. Stop by the Water Sports Center to inquire about activities and equipment rental, sea conditions, hike routes or just for a chat with our enthusiastic staff.

A Taste of Island Life
Much of the charm of Racha Yai is that little has changed through the years. Our little island is home to local islanders. Water buffalos are still used to work the land and can often be seen around mud holes. Many parts of the island are covered in dense jungle.

In the center of Racha Yai, you’ll find coconut plantations. The island has a small network of dirt paths that link all the beaches. Walking around the island’s pathways, you will be treated to views of tranquil coconut groves and the occasional water buffalo grazing nearby.

A great way to explore Racha Yai is by hiking, mountain biking or by ATV. Trekking the whole island takes no more than half a day. For sweeping views of the island, head to the hilltop left of Batok Bay.It will take you 30-45 minutes to reach the top.

Great sunset views can be viewed from the right side of Batok Bay, an easy walk from The Racha. The Racha is proud to be a leader in eco-responsible tourism.

A short walk along the perimeter of the resort grounds will take you to our back of the house where you will find the following environmental initiatives.

Further Afield – Land Initiatives
The Racha’s Hydroponic Farm provides guests with the freshest, nutrient-rich and pesticide-free produce. Lettuce varieties grown include Red and Green Oak, Romaine, Red and Green Coral, Mizuna, Lolla Red, Butterhead, and Iceburg.

The half acre 250 kWp Solar-Diesel Hybrid Station produces up to 50% of the resort’s daily electricity requirements, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 24% or 1,500 Kg per day.

At the Racha’s Bio-Fuel station, food waste is converted into Bio-Gas. This in turn is used for cooking in the Staff Canteen. Wood and vegetation scraps are converted into charcoal briquettes at our Charcoal Station.

These are used in the BBQ grill at our Sunset Beach Restaurant daily. Plastics, glass, paper are recycled throughout the resort.

Further Afield – Water Initiatives
Instead of a concrete pier, The Racha utilizes a floating pontoon that can be moved between Batok Bay and Ter Bay. Building a concrete pier would involve extensive damage to the marine ecology of the island.

Since 2004, The Racha and The Racha Dive Center have supported The Reef Ball Foundation – a non-profit charity that protects and restores the world’s ocean ecosystems.

Today, 250 reef balls form five man-made reefs around the island. Juvenile Clownfish and many tiny critters nest in coral colonies that have made these pH-neutral concrete Reef Balls their home.

Rainwater is collected, recycled and treated at The Racha’s own reservoirs on the island for use throughout the resort. The reservoirs are home to many species of fish including Mekong Catfish Pangasianodon gigas and Redtail Catfish Phractocephalus hemioliopterus.

All waste water is properly treated at our sewage treatment plant and the effluent water is used for landscape irrigation throughout the resort. Titanium heat exchangers recover heat from our generators providing an ample supply of zero-energy hot water for laundry machines and staff showers.

The resort’s drinking bottles are eco-friendly, reusable glass. They are sterilized and bottled in our Glass Water Bottling Facility.

How Our Guests Can Do Their Part For Nature
Turn off villa lights, air-conditioning (for extended periods) when not in use. Choose the option of having bed sheets and bath towels changed periodically instead of daily. Join the resort staff for Daily Beach Clean at 9am (weather permitting).

Take a self-guided ‘back-of-grounds tour’. At the perimeter of the resort gardens, guests are welcome to amble through many of the resort’s larger ‘green’ initiatives – the Hydroponic Farm, our Drinking Water Bottling plant, Bio-Gas station, Charcoal station, Solar Diesel Hybrid station and the reservoirs amongst others.

In doing so, the resort hopes that guests will take away with them, a deeper appreciation for conservation.
