Ethics & sustainability
Responsible, adventurous, planet-friendly retreats that engage with local culture and communities.
Our aims for the retreats we host
are simple
✺
Leave the destination exactly as we found it, ensuring our environmental footprint is minimal and we leave no waste behind.
Support local culture and business by choosing local travel options; small taxi and tour companies and supporting locally run excursions wherever possible.
Be kind to the environment. Encouraging our retreat guests to opt for reusable cutlery, bottles and straws and opting for reef-friendly suncream in swimming destinations.
Choose local, seasonal food for our catering options and visit local, community-centred restaurants.
Respect the culture of our destination. Dress appropriately in countries where more modest dress is expected.
Most importantly: have fun, feel liberated and embrace adventure.
Our intentions for the future
Our journey towards being a sustainable business is ongoing. We’re making progress but we’re also outlining our plans for the future so that you can see our best intentions and we can hold ourselves accountable on our journey.
We’re not there yet, but we hope to be in the coming years. Some steps we’re taking now are:
Advising our guests on the least environmentally damaging travel options
Researching carbon offsetting for every trip, while maximising the positive impact of each holiday
Partnering with ecologically aware, enthusiastic and ethical retreat centres.
