Back of Beyond offers seven retreats in secluded natural locations near jungles, streams, reservoirs, beaches and lagoons. The focus is on exploring and enjoying nature in a minimalistic, environmentally responsible way. For new construction, they use sustainably sourced building materials including bamboo, thatch roofs, recycled doors and windows, and clay and mud mortar and plaster. Back of Beyond supports schools and community initiatives near each property, plants trees, and actively works to conserve and increase biodiversity. The owner is a member of multiple environmental NGOs and a trustee of the Federation of Environmental Organizations (FEO). Back of Beyond assists wildlife and biodiversity researchers with onsite projects.
