Many trees and green areas are protected by minimizing vegetation clearing, excavation, and chemical use. The resorts were designed, crafted, and built carefully from local surround wood and nature material like nipa palm, coconut leave and dolken logs. By using the local elements and respecting the existing environment, we have reduced carbon footprint in transporting materials and added more local value to the property without compromising guest comfort Additionally, the Beach Tent also has a sea-turtle conservation program on Kepayang Island.
