At Six Degrees Off Grid, we believe that a stay in paradise should not come at the expense of the planet. Our eco-lodge and beach hostel offers a truly immersive experience where sustainability and comfort go hand in hand, allowing guests to reconnect with nature while enjoying modern amenities.
Eco-Friendly Accommodation
All of our accommodation is designed with the environment in mind. Whether you’re staying in one of our cozy sea-view bungalows or the backpacker-friendly longhouse, you’ll enjoy a comfortable, off-grid experience. Our rooms are built with locally sourced materials, from sustainably harvested wood to traditional palm-thatch roofing, blending harmoniously with the natural landscape.
We prioritise eco-friendly practices by using solar energy to power the entire lodge, reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources. We also harvest rainwater for daily use, ensuring that we tread lightly on the land and water resources.
Sustainable Design
The design of Six Degrees Off Grid incorporates principles of sustainable architecture, blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest and beachscape. Natural ventilation and passive cooling techniques ensure that our guests are comfortable without needing excessive air conditioning or energy-intensive systems. We also use composting toilets and encourage organic waste composting, turning what would be waste into valuable resources for our gardens.
The eco-lodge’s commitment to reducing plastic waste means we provide reusable alternatives, and we ask all our guests to join us in keeping the environment plastic-free. We strive to reduce landfill waste through careful waste management and encourage guests to make conscious choices in their day-to-day habits.
Connecting with Nature
Our eco-friendly approach goes beyond the walls of the lodge. We offer an array of nature-based activities that allow guests to truly experience the beauty of Sulawesi. Explore the rich biodiversity of the surrounding forests, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, or take a guided wildlife tour to spot rare species such as dugongs and endemic birds. For those who seek a more mindful experience, we offer beachfront yoga sessions, where you can embrace the calming sounds of the ocean and the fresh air of the jungle.
Guests can also participate in our community-based sustainability programs, learning from local experts about farming practices, sustainable fishing methods, and traditional weaving techniques. This creates a full circle of learning and sharing, connecting travellers with the Kaili people and their environmental ethos.
A Commitment to Local Culture
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s about supporting the local community as well. We actively work with local artisans, farmers, and workers to ensure that the benefits of tourism stay within the community. All our supplies and materials are sourced locally, providing opportunities for the village to thrive while reducing the carbon footprint of transportation.
By staying with us, you’re not just enjoying an eco-friendly vacation—you’re actively contributing to a more sustainable future for the region.
