Eco Resorts may be my new favorite way to travel. 7 Springs Resort Lombok is simply a magical place.
During our stay we ate the freshest meals all of the produce was directly from the garden as well as the lovely chicken (couldn’t get enough of the Japanese inspired yakiniku sauce).
We learned to make kombucha and jamu (a traditional Indonesian tumeric tonic). Besides all the deliciousness that I was ingesting – I was able to relax on the volcanic black sand beach after snorkeling the gorgeous coral reefs.
The wonderful thing about Lombok is it happens to fall on the Wallace Line – an invisible line dividing the ecozones of Asia and Australia. Basically it makes for the highest levels of biodiversity in the world’s marine ecosystems.
Although the coral reefs were breathtaking, it was even more interesting to see how just one eco-resort can make such a big difference in sustainability. They have created a pretty ingenious system from aquaponic fertilization to dutch gardening techniques to ensure nothing goes to waste while providing the most nutrients to their crops. It inspired me to be more aware of my consumption and waste.
It was wonderful sharing this experience with Sarah Overton and the 7 Springs Resort crew.
