A pioneer in sustainable accommodation, this resort harnesses solar radiation as a renewable energy source, helping reduce its carbon footprint. Sustainability goes beyond power generation, reaching into the very structure of the building. Constructed with materials from sustainable sources, the structure is designed to maximize natural light and minimize the need for artificial lighting and heating. The windows, too, play a vital role in this energy-efficient design, using triple-glazing to provide superior insulation against heat and cold.

Further, the hotel segregates waste into at least three categories and uses toilet paper made of non-chlorine bleached paper or carrying an eco-label. Finally, the hotel's restaurant prioritizes locally sourced ingredients, supporting local producers and reducing food miles. The eco-friendly initiatives extend to engagement in activities like reforestation and wildlife conservation.
