Sustainability

Inspired by the waves and seashells of our coastal home, Jetwing Surf features a unique, open architectural design across our rooms, reception and restaurant, which reduces the requirement for artificial illumination and ventilation. Our cabanas feature a sustainable combination of an iluk roof which helps minimise heat gain during the day, a steep roof pitch which prevents stagnation of warm air in living spaces, and cadjan-covered double layered walls which not only allow for the easy flowing of fresh air, but also provide you with absolute privacy. In addition, every cabana at Jetwing Surf has been designed and located to allow fresh air from cool ocean breeze to flow through naturally.

Wastewater at Jetwing Surf is directed to purpose-built septic tanks, where it is biologically treated and sent to a soak-age pit. The treated water is then gradually soaked into the soil. On the other hand, laundry wastewater which is treated (both chemically and mechanically) is later used for irrigation in our coastal gardens. All sweepings and tree clippings from the garden are composted in a traditional above ground compost pile, and the product compost is used as a nutrient-rich soil enhancer.

The environmentally friendly design of Jetwing Surf has been achieved through the use of natural materials such as cadjan, coir, iluk grass and wood in nearly all aspects of construction. Likewise, each cabana has been carefully constructed with minimal disturbance to the existing vegetation of our surrounding coastal environment.
Eschewing use of plastic water bottles, guests at Jetwing Surf are offered reusable, glass water bottles filled onsite, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards.
