Dubai, November
2015: Make a difference this Christmas by
preserving endangered marine species all the while staying in a 5-star villa perched on stilts
over the South China Sea
Gayana Eco
Resort is a luxury resort with a conscience. This Christmas you can participate
in hands-on coral reef restoration alongside its resident marine biologists. You
can also become the foster parent of a giant clam to ensure it gets reinstated
into its natural habitat.
Located in the Tunku Abdul
Rahman Marine National Park, skirted by coral reefs and calm turquoise seas,
Gayana Eco Resort offers a diverse range activities under water and on land for
adults and children alike:
Become a Marine Biologist for a
day and transfer replanted coral
fragments to the underwater Coral Garden or collect coral fragments in the sea
and attach them to a biorock structure, snorkel the house reef with an
underwater camera or take a kayak trip into the mangroves, explore mudskippers
and hermit crabs or trek into the dense jungle. The resort also houses a PADI
Certified Dive Centre where both beginners and experienced divers can
experience uncluttered dives, as most of the area is closed to the general
public.
The Ocean Villa is priced at USD 797 per
night for two people and includes the
following:
- Daily breakfast
for two at Macac Restaurant or delivered by boat to your private balcony.
