Our focus at Matava is eco-tourism. We promote the natural environment, both marine and terrestrial and have adopted programmes to avoid damaging our environment.
These include conservation awareness, and waste management (recycling) programmes at the resort and with local villages.
There are no power generators at Matava - our lighting is primarily solar, with additional kerosene lanterns if required.
All lighting in the Oceanview accommodation and the main bure is solar powered. The resort office also derives all its power from solar energy.
The resort does not operate any main generators, only a small emergency back-up generator for the office should the need arise.
