In Harmony with our Environment ~ Oman Environment Day Donations Each 8th January marks the national day of environmental awareness for Oman, known as Oman Environment Day. This year’s initiatives take place throughout the Sultanate for a full week, as a result of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos’ unwavering commitment to protecting Oman’s environment and natural resources.

In support, the resort made financial donations from its Social and Environment Responsibilities Fund (SERF) to encourage both cultural and natural endeavors.

The donations supported: •Planting of 1000 Qaram trees and other indigenous trees •Beach cleaning campaigns in Dibba, Bukha and Khasab •Conducting lectures throughout the Musandam on environmental awareness •Contribution to the Omani Fusion Cookbook by Studio Basel, proceeds benefiting the Ladies of Sidab and other low-income projects .05% of the resort’s monthly revenue is set aside into SERF, in addition to a 2% decarbonising initiative already built into all villa rates. Additionally, 50% of revenue from the resort’s own mineralized water is also distributed. Notfor-profit socially responsible programmes are encouraged to contact us for possible SERF grants.
