Resort Taking Steps Towards SustainabilityAvana Retreat demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability by eliminating single-use plastics and plastic water bottles, operating an on-site bottling plant for reusable glass bottles. The resort's architecture uses hand-crafted earthwork and thatched roofs, drawing inspiration from local Hmong and Thai building techniques. Over 90% of its staff are locals, supporting cultural preservation through vocational training and cultural initiatives. The resort also implements ambitious tree planting projects, maintains terraced rice paddies tended by local ethnic groups, and uses electric buggies and narrow pathways to minimize environmental impact.
