9 Beaches is especially proud of its Xeric garden landscaping used throughout the resort and dotted with artificial Longtail nests to encourage the native bird population.  9 Beaches’ “xeriscape” uses native plants requiring no additional watering.  (Derived from the Greek “xeros,” meaning dry, xeriscape describes plantings intended to conserve water, often using native varietals.) 9 Beaches’ xeriscape is attractive and sustainable, conserves water and is based on sound horticultural practices.

With all of the accommodations in cabanas on stilts, there is little environmental impact to the land.  Other environmental aspects include:

• Battery operated transportation around resort
• Solar powered lighting and hot water
• Caught rainwater for use in the hotel
• Minimal air conditioning; main house air-conditioned only in hot months.  Doors open for fresh air.
• Motion sensors on exterior cabana lights
• Pedal bicycles for transportation
• Local produce

Of course, 9 Beaches utilizes eco-basics such as replacing sheets and towels only upon request by the guests, asking guests to conserve water and serving drinking water on request only.  The daily newspaper is provided in the lobby only, not in every room, and the staff reuses paper in the fax machine and photocopier.  Marketing is primarily electronic, saving paper used on traditional printed materials.
