Responsibility
Economy
We optimize all economic advantages of tourism in a balanced and fair way for our hotel and our region. We are able to uplift the lives of the people in the area through job opportunities within the hotel.
The hotel has set aside a gift shop for the local artisans to display and sell their handicrafts. This in turn helps to not only promote their talents but helps provides a livelihood for their families as well.

Our self-sufficient garden
It is in the heart of the farming region, but it is also and above all a land deeply linked to traditions and culture, surrounded by pristine nature. Tissamaharama is an unique area, less known than that of Yala with which it borders, but equally capable of filling our eyes with beauty.
The farm is situated in very close proximity to the hotel and we generally encourage our clients to visit the site by using our mountain bikes. This is an ideal opportunity for them to see the surrounding village areas and witness the locals going about their day to day lives.
Guests also have the option of been hands on at the farm. Helping with the planting, harvesting and the other chores in general that keep the farm running.
The organic cultivation or ecological farming is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting.
We initiated this project with a view to the future where all of our food needs will be covered by our very own farm.
Our Ayurvedic plants
In addition to our Organic Eco Farm, the hotel also has a thriving Medicinal herbal garden. Most of the plants are indigenous to the area and flourish in the tropical climate of the Island. The herbs are organic and are used in the treatments at the Ayurveda centre. Visiting guests have the opportunity of learning more about these rare herbs and seen them put to use and experiencing their healing benefits first hand.
Socio culture
We reduce negative impacts on communities affected by tourism by preserving our cultural identity and heritage and by providing fair working conditions. The team members from the area receive a technical and social training prior to been incorporated into the operational services.
Training in international languages and other social norms are also carried out providing a platform for our team members to broaden their horizons and to seek overseas employment if desired in the future.
