Investing in the Future of Tourism
Bawe Island offers the perfect getaway for travellers looking for some calm and serenity. A 10-minute boat ride from Stone Town, Bawe Island offers guests the luxury of privacy while keeping the quaint allure of Zanzibar close at hand. Adding a touch of class and sophistication to any travel itinerary, Bawe Island is an oasis in paradise.
Keeping with the One Island One Resort concept, the focus of the development will be to a limited part of the island. The resort will be fully self-sustaining with its own power generation, water desalination, sewage treatment, harbour and reef protection, laundry, and kitchen and on-site staff accommodation facilities. The vision for the Bawe Island Resort is to seamlessly integrate the natural beauty of the island into the living spaces of the property.
Furthermore, all villas will be built using an innovative prefabricated system. This will help minimize the on-ground impact during construction and development. Staying green, we will be using solar power as the back-up power source for the island. Additionally, the water supply and sewage treatment facilities will help reduce our overall impact on the surrounding ecosystem and allow us to recycle waste water for irrigation and gardening.
Inspiration for the Bawe Island Resort was drawn from our You & Me Resort in Maldives. We understand the beauty of nature is the reason why our clients chose our destination. It is our main resource and as such needs to be preserved. In Maldives we instated a system of water recycling that has almost no impact on the environment, and we have a program of recycling of the plastic materials.
Gold Zanzibar together with the professional approach by Bison Group Maldives, has a plan to become partially energy self-sufficient by 2022 by using solar panels in each room to produce energy for the hot water and air conditioning. The entire construction and assembly of the resort will be planned to minimize the environmental footprint and ecological disturbances on the island.
