The site is bound by the Arabian Sea on one side and the Nandini River on the other. The north and south of the site consist of greenspaces and small residential spaces, while the north-western side offers a beach house facing the sea and a temple. Along the Nandini are the mangrove trees, adding beauty to the place.

Our floating resort uses both natural water filters and manmade pool filters which are sustainable and eco-friendly option for guests who are environmentally conscious. Natural water filters include vegetation that are designed to naturally filter and purify the water. This type of filtration system can help to remove pollutants and contaminants from the water, and is often used in conjunction with other types of filtration systems. We have also used OLIVE which is a self contained multi-functional filter that floats on the water’s surface. Installation is simple and maintenance is minimal : just rinsing the mesh filter in fresh water once every few days.

By using both natural water filters and manmade pool filters, a floating resort can help to ensure that the water in and around the resort is clean and safe for guests to enjoy. This can help to promote a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, while also providing guests with a unique and memorable experience.
