Cacao Pearl - a luxury eco resort

by Jessica

This week, a surprising eco endeavor was announced in the travel arena: the world’s first non-profit, green resort community, which will be built on a 124-acre private island on the northern tip of the Palawan Biosphere Reserve in the Philippines.

The Cacao Pearl, Palawan, is raising eyebrows with a hearty commitment to donate 100 percent of operating profits to local environment protection and social improvements.

The upscale resort, complete with an infinity pool, spa, and organic gardens and bar, was designed exclusively for Cacao Resorts by former film art director Antonio Calvo (think “Pride & Prejudice” and “Love Actually”) and will be developed using sustainable construction, ethical management practices and ecologically responsible operations. At the end of the day, 100 percent renewable energy and operating profits will be funneled back into the local community.

"Cacao pearl would be a best place to enjoy the beauty of nature at a very low environmental cost"
