Mindful living is an integral part of your lives and business case. Can you explain to us how you incorporate mindful living in the “The Cabanas” and the center?
Everything we do at the Cabanas is rooted in leaving as small a footprint as possible but also nurturing the beautiful island rather than taking away any of its natural beauty. We are 100% powered by the sun. We use little to no plastic, we recycle and create cooking gas from our compost. Being mindful about our environment creates a wonderful energy and feel at The Cabanas that we hope seeps into our clients. Every guest that visits our island nest has our full attention so we can cater to what they need from their stay, and provide a safe space for them to truly unwind and adopt a slower pace. We offer yoga and meditation, delicious fresh seafood, Shawn and I are vegan, so we love to cater delicious options for all dietary requirements.
When my mother took over this beach, for the first 5 years she planted trees, a huge endevour somewhere so remote, which we all now reap the reward from. As you fly over the island you will see that Kizingoni Beach (where The Cabanas and our villa Pepo are) looks very different with its rich canopy of vibrant greens, very special, its brought shade, birdlife and healthy undergrowth which most of the island lacks.
