The island is one of the leading light in Seychelles on environmental impact management:
- 8-10 visitors maximum
- Strict measures to recycle and minimise waste
- There are 350,000 litres storage capacity for rainwater
- Rain water is purified through UV filters and sediment filters. All water used, including the pool, is collected rainwater
- Solar power is used to heat water and for essential daily needs. Even the freezers need only 4 hours of power Local benefits include jobs, market outlets, training, and targeted support to local NGO’s. We are co-sponsoring an environmental centre on nearby Praslin Island.
At the local level, we employ local staff for all works on the island, either as permanent resident staff or on short consultant works or contracts. Secondly, all produce and goods are sourced locally, (not the case; whilst we source locally through retail outlets many of the goods are imported) from nearby Praslin Island and Mahe, and all services are contracted locally.
We are supporting local NGO's, Nature Seychelles and Wildlife Clubs, in the development of an environmental education centre on Praslin Island, called the Island Conservation Centre. It will receive thousands of visitors from schools, local tours and international guests. It will be a focus for training seminars. The Centre has a broad focus to include cultural events and local history, and how this relates to environmental awareness.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
