Be Sustainable

We understand that your impact on the environment and the community is important to you … it is important to us too. Which is why our Resort was born from the founding philosophy that a resort should be built from, and benefit the surrounding community, and we have continued to embrace this ethos over the past 10 years, sharing our vintage Caribbean experience with our guests.

Sourcing locally...

Keeping the decor neutral to accent the dark woods, lush greenery and blue sea, we source our hand weaved lampshades, place mats and bread baskets from the Industrial Workshop for the Blind, in support of  our diverse community.

Mitch...Fresh Coordinator

A new role to strengthen the mandate to include all things fresh into the menus and bars, Mitch Jno Charles' roots from the nearby island of Dominica, along with his experience, align with our vision to transform to a shorter, sustainable supply chain.... from our community to our resorts.

Built by and for the environment

We seek to keep our carbon and environmental footprint minimal, through the farming of rain water and recycling of grey water; minimizing the use of plastic and moving away from single use toiletry items.

Our approach to locally sourcing as many items as possible, particularly food, results in shorter supply chains, simple and sustainable farming systems, supporting the health of the soil, greater food security, less food waste, less processing, and less packaging.

Sustainably preserving our surroundings.
