Responsible Tourism
In a world where almost everything is commercialised, Ekantha Ala strives to
stay committed to the goals of sustainability, responsible tourism, and a
lifestyle of minimalism.
At Ekantha Ala, we believe that it naturally becomes our responsibility to preserve the land we call home. We are committed to the preservation of the environment and leave no stone unturned in our approach for a life of co-existence with nature.
Our engagement with the island's community is a source of both inspiration and guidance. It's a dynamic relationship that shapes our approach to responsible tourism and sustainability. We recognize that true co-existence involves more than just sharing the same space; it's about nurturing an ecosystem that benefits all.
Ekantha Ala places great emphasis on collaboration with the island's people. This collaboration ensures an authentic touch in every aspect of our daily life on the island. We source our food from nearby farms, fostering connections with local growers and suppliers. This not only guarantees fresh, healthy ingredients for our menu but also promotes the island's agricultural traditions. Our culinary delights, masterfully crafted by our local chefs, bring much-needed authenticity to our delectable delicacies. Each bite is a journey into the island's rich culinary heritage, a testament to the flavours that have been perfected over generations.

Apart from that, our commitment towards a better life with a minimised
impact on the environment also extends to waste management. At Ekantha
Ala, we have implemented an effective waste segregation system. We take
our responsibility to minimise our environmental footprint seriously. Plastic
and non-biodegradable waste is meticulously segregated and collected by
designated individuals from the local community. This waste is then
transported across the serene Vembanad Lake for further processing. This
practice reduces waste on our island and supports responsible disposal,
ensuring that non-biodegradable materials are managed in an eco-friendly
manner.
Our approach to food waste is equally eco-conscious. Rather than discarding it, we contribute to the creation of compost. This waste is transformed into a valuable resource for the island's agricultural community. It's a complete process where waste is turned into a sustainable asset, enriching the soil and enhancing the island's agricultural practices.
At the heart of our ethos is the belief that every guest at Ekantha Ala is not merely a visitor but a participant in an immersive cross-cultural exchange. We create an environment where guests can authentically connect with the island's culture. Whether it's through the food they savour, the people they meet, or the experiences they embrace, we offer a gateway to the genuine spirit of the island. Our guests become a part of the story, leaving with memories that transcend traditional tourism and resonate with the values of responsible travel.
In essence, Ekantha Ala is a boutique resort where sustainability and responsible tourism are not just words but a way of life; they are woven into the very fabric of our existence.
