Focus Areas
Reducing Single-Use Plastics
We minimize single-use plastics by prioritizing reusable dining ware, cups, and eco-friendly alternatives. When single-use plastics are necessary, we select biodegradable or recyclable options to reduce environmental impact.
Efforts are focused on balancing operational needs with sustainability, ensuring convenience for guests while contributing to waste reduction and the preservation of natural resources in the Andaman region.
Artisans & Local Communities
We collaborate with local artisans and guides to create authentic cultural experiences for our guests. From handcrafted workshops and unique storytelling to traditional activities and locally made souvenirs, each interaction supports local livelihoods and strengthens connections with the community.
These meaningful exchanges not only preserve cultural heritage but also provide guests with a deeper appreciation of local traditions while contributing to sustainable tourism.
Responsible Sourcing
We strive to source food responsibly by collaborating with local communities. Traditional snacks served to our guests are thoughtfully handcrafted by local artisans, preserving regional culinary traditions and supporting local livelihoods. Fresh fruits and vegetables are carefully selected from nearby farms, offering guests an authentic dining experience that celebrates local culture and directly benefits the community.
Environmental Education
We provide guests with knowledge and tools to better understand marine life and its role in the ecosystem. Through guided information, interactive apps featuring details about local fish and marine plants, and eco-friendly activities, we inspire a deeper connection to nature.
Our guides lead by example, demonstrating responsible snorkeling practices and discussing the importance of conservation. These meaningful interactions not only enrich the guest experience but also encourage actions that help protect our local ecosystems for future generations.
