ABOUT NATTIKA

SUSTAINABILITY

Leaving the Earth better than you found it” is our definition of success and a fulfilling mindset to follow. Whether it is from an environmental or a social aspect, we strive to make our surroundings a better place for us, and for the next generations.

In order to follow these principles, many different initiatives are put in place in Nattika, such as:

  • No more plastic bottles for our guests: No more plastic bottles for our guests: At Nattika Beach Ayurveda Resort, we provide our purified water in recycled glass bottles at the restaurant.
  • Organic garden: supplies our restaurant with fresh and seasonal vegetables, supporting the holistic principles of Yoga and Ayurveda wellness. The rest of the products are bought from local suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint and support the nearby communities.
  • Sewage Treatment plants: We have two STPs and one ETP (one in the resort, the other in the Ayurveda Center) which recycle our sewage water and makes it usable for watering our lush gardens.
  • Effluent Treatment Plant: We also recycle our laundry water separately using the effluent treatment method, which clears the chemicals and makes it safe for gardening our farm.
  • Beach cleaning: Our staff at this Ayurveda beach resort in Kerala regularly cleans the beach side, and thanks to this environmentally friendly activity, we maintain the pristine ambiance of nature and the sea around us.
  • Effective disposal of Biodegradable waste and usage of renewable energy: We have installed two biogas plants in the resort for effective disposal of food & agricultural waste. The fuel obtained is used for cooking purposes in our staff cafeteria.
  • Used Ayurveda oils: The wastes are collected and sold to local companies for recycling purposes to be used in machinery.
  • Attractive employment opportunities: We try to help the local community by creating jobs and employing people from the nearby villages.
  • Tennis court: We offer free tennis classes to local underprivileged kids, engaging them in a meaningful free time activity.
  • Nattika Life: In an effort to produce the best and purest quality of Ayurveda oils, we have our own production facility a few steps away from the resort. This initiative is another big step towards a full self-sustainability at The Nattika Beach Ayurveda Resort.
 

As one of the most sought-after private beach resorts in India, our commitment to sustainability and the well-being of both our guests and the environment is at the heart of everything we do.
