The Village, Coconut Island is located on a small island, three minutes by boat from Phuket. The local workforce makes concrete onsite from indigenous materials; the wood constructed villas are made from sustainable, forested local trees. Rainwater is harvested, grey water cleaned and recycled. Cars are not permitted on the island; electric golf buggies are supplied at the resort.
Solar panels will generate some power. Heat from the air-conditioning heat exchanger will heat the water in the villas, which will decrease carbon usage.
