Natural environment: Relatively severe coastal conditions subsist during certain
periods of the year. To put up with these weather conditions, indigenous local
plants and hardier coastal species such as Beach Morning Glory, Coconut Palm,
Pandan and the Pong Pong trees were newly planted. These plants need less
long-term maintenance and are able to survive on a fluctuating supply of water.
Various herbs and vegetables are grown and harvested in an organic garden at
the back area of the kitchen which functions to help maintain the terrace as
well as supplying the spa and kitchen with the freshest produce available.
