Environmental Sustainability

Our coastline serves as an essential nesting habitat for endangered Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles. From November to January, these turtles come ashore to lay their eggs, and about 200 hatchlings are safely returned to the sea each year as part of conservation efforts.

Turtle Nesting Site

We are Sea Guardians. By safeguarding our waters from illegal fishing and tending to our coral reefs, we help preserve the delicate balance of our marine ecosystem. Our green initiatives also involve reef restoration through coral planting, managing invasive crown-of-thorns starfish, and conducting underwater clean-ups.

Marine Protected Sanctuary

From hearty local favorites to international classics, our Firefish and Sinag restaurant dishes are made with ingredients straight from our Taranuman farm and other eco-friendly sources&mdash;so you can enjoy every bite while supporting the planet.

Sustainable Dishes

Part of the resort's Kids' Program is The Discovery Scout activity. Created to inspire young minds, this initiative encourages children to care for the planet while having fun. Kids can take part in gardening activities like planting and harvesting in our island&rsquo;s herb and vegetable garden.&nbsp;

The Discovery Scouts

Our on-site desalination plant offers a sustainable, drought-proof water solution. By reducing reliance on natural freshwater sources, it helps protect aquatic ecosystems. It also eliminates the need for water transport to the island, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

Water Desalination

Fresh, organic produce from our on-site farm makes its way directly to our restaurant kitchens, delivering authentic farm-to-table meals. Leftover food waste&mdash;including fruit peels and eggshells&mdash;is composted into organic fertilizer, supporting a zero-waste, regenerative system.

Our Organic Farm

At the resort, we&rsquo;ve introduced the EcoPure Water Bottling System to provide guests with safe, refreshing drinking water&mdash;without the environmental cost. Using a seven-stage purification process powered by Classic Crystal Tropical Purification technology, we ensure every drop is free from harmful substances and microorganisms. The water, available still or sparkling, is served in elegant, sterilized glass bottles&mdash;eliminating the need for single-use plastics and ensuring a healthier, more sustainable experience.

EcoPure Water Filtration System

Trees are essential to a balanced ecosystem&mdash;they absorb carbon dioxide and harmful gases while creating habitats for countless species. At the resort, we protect and maintain our trees, which serve as refuge for exotic wildlife. Rather than clearing land, we design our structures around existing trees. We also encourage guest involvement through activities like tree planting and identifying local tree species, fostering deeper environmental awareness.

Tree Care

From biodegradable toiletries and cassava-based bags to paper take-out boxes and refillable bath amenity pumps, the resort has thoughtfully woven eco-friendly choices into its daily operations. Plastic straws and bottles have been phased out entirely &mdash; all part of our ongoing commitment to caring for the environment.

Use of Earth-friendly Products

We take an active role in the preservation and cleaning up of the beach as well as the ocean to aid in its conservation. If you wish to join us, the Clean Up schedules are available at the Front Desk.

Beach Clean Up

On this island, nothing goes to waste &mdash; not even our commitment to nature. Recycling is part of daily life here, with color-coded bins thoughtfully placed around the resort to make it easy to do your part. After all, a cleaner island means a greener, healthier paradise for everyone to enjoy

Garbage Management

A multi-department initiative transforming discarded plastics into basic building block units. Ecobricks were used to build plant terraces in our Taranuman Farm.

<h3>Reduction of Single-Use Plastic Consumption</h3>
An additional eight million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the world&rsquo;s oceans every year, where they are responsible for the deaths of marine life. Because most tourism activities take place in coastal regions and beaches, which the Philippines has in abundance, the usage of plastic in the industry can contribute significantly to the ever-growing problem. This was made worse by the increased plastic garbage generated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic response, which was done in the interest of people&rsquo;s health and safety.
Accordingly, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) launched a campaign to phase out single-use plastics (SUP) in the tourism sector last 2020, which was adapted and relaunched this year by the <a href="https://pcepsdi.org.ph/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philippine Center for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development, Inc. (PCEPSDI)</a> under the Transforming Tourism Value Chains (TVC) Project, and the Philippine Department of Tourism (PDT).
