These practices include no longer using deep wells, but instead following a better environmentally friendly practice of obtaining the fresh water from the mainland. We also work to dispose of waste properly through recycling and composting.

These practices include no longer using deep wells, but instead following a better environmentally friendly practice of obtaining the fresh water from the mainland. We also work to dispose of waste properly through recycling and composting. We preserve the original tropical look of the island by keeping large areas un-built with local trees and vegetation intact. Another practice of Friday's is participating in daily cleaning of its beach front and regular underwater beach cleaning.

These sounds sustainable actions help preserve the uniqueness of the area, while providing guests a better experience.
