Eco-Resort design

We have been privileged to design the grounds of some wonderful eco resorts and hotels around the world. Each offers a sustainable addition to the business bottom line. Diverse projects include the 50 acre Shangri-La group’s eco resort in Sabah, Borneo and the 8 hectare grounds of Europe’s first disabled children’s hotel in Portugal.

Sensory gardens for health spas offer the ultimate in luxury. With a careful mix of appropriate planting, interesting textures under foot, light and shade, sounds, taste and sights to delight we can offer your guests and staff the ultimate place to rest, restore and recharge. Playful spaces offer the chance to reconnect with nature and our inner child.

Increasingly clients are demanding improved environmental credentials. They want to spend their money where they can make a difference. Greenstone Design prides itself on a strong environmental and CSR policy

Savings in water supply, waste disposal  garden maintenance and energy use can all be achieved through sustainable landscape design. Greenstone Design offers a sensitive response to the local environment. Where butterflies would normally live naturally we create habitat to encourage them to stay as part of the resort grounds. We design the space to support a paying part of the hotel, so a butterfly cafe could become a saleable feature of the eco resort.

Mown paths mean less mowing overall and provide longer wild flower meadow areas to support and promote bio-diversity. Water features often set the scene for eco resort gardens. They can also be used to collect, filter and slow rainwater flows. Rain gardens offer a low cost hotel gardens' maintenance option.
