Farm to Fork Initiative:
From Our Organic Farming
Thousands of fruit trees now flourish at Apes Hill, including cherry, lime, guava, banana, breadfruit, and papaya, alongside 30 beehives producing honey for the community. The landscape also sustains a range of wildlife from Barbados green monkeys to migratory birds, reflecting a wider commitment to conservation and habitat restoration.
Farm to Fork Initiative:
To Your Table
Home-grown herbs, fruit and edible flowers feature in both restaurant menus and cocktails across the resort. Freshly baked goods and wellness drinks showcase produce harvested on site, bringing the farm-to-table ethos to life.
Villa Design
Your Private
Eco-Haven Awaits
Our villas are designed to harness the cooling Atlantic tradewinds, reducing reliance on air conditioning. Solar water heating and the option for photovoltaic panels support renewable energy use, while saltwater pools provide a gentler alternative to chlorine.
A Bioswale network manages stormwater naturally, regenerating the landscape and creating habitats for birds, butterflies and other wildlife.
Golf Course
Setting the Standard
For Sustainable Golf
The golf course is planted with varied grass types, including Zorro Zoysia, a drought-tolerant turf that requires less water and fewer chemicals. Irrigation comes solely from a 58-million-gallon reservoir, supported by a smaller reservoir that also forms a water feature at Hole 16.
Sensitive areas of the course are preserved to protect biodiversity, with bee boxes placed in out-of-play zones to encourage pollination across the resort.
