Extremely. The resort is 100 per cent solar powered, has its own water purifying and bottling plant, and recycles (grey water too) and composts. Much of the food is grown on site in the fruit-, veg- and herb-filled garden; eggs and honey are collected from the resort’s farm. Timber for the buildings was sourced from recycled wood, and locally-sourced and reclaimed materials are used throughout. Green cleaning products, bath products and energy efficient light bulbs are used too. The hotel work closely with local schools to provide apprenticeships and development programmes for young adults; and they support Rise Beyond the Reef, an NGO working to empower women in remote communities. They are also helping to safeguard the critically endangered Fijian crested iguanas, who reside in the surrounding forest.
