Embracing Nature

Nature and the natural environment features heavily in the design of these resorts. They’re all located in forest settings. Each resort offers a wide array of activities. Many of these activities make full use of the beautiful forest location. With activities such as zip wires, nature walks, bug hunts, archery, etc.

The distinguishing feature of each of these resorts is the big dome that houses the activity area and pool although “pool” hardly does it justice, since it has water slides, toddler pools, wave pools, and more.
