Native's mission is to establish the gold standard of sustainable holidays as they transcend symbolic and greenwashing gestures, embedding environmental regeneration into its core business model. The planet guides every decision, from Native's cabin construction methods to profit allocation, with 20% dedicated to Native's rewilding program. Striving for a carbon-neutral footprint, Native designed its cabins as a testament to its unwavering commitment to sustainability and ecological restoration. Constructed from locally sourced timber, hemp insulation, wood wool fiber, and natural lime render, these structures prioritize environmental integrity. Their breathable nature and toxin-free composition ensure an optimal environment for guests, particularly those with allergies, fostering a restful and rejuvenating stay.

__ Native's design concept revolves around the natural site of its eco cabins, emphasizing the beauty of native Irish vegetation. A verdant courtyard will serve as the focal point, enveloped by lush greenery, providing a tranquil oasis for guests.

Every cabin will feature a secluded outdoor retreat, providing a tranquil space to fully embrace the peaceful surroundings and connect with the local environment. Inside, natural materials will adorn the spaces, evoking a sense of warmth and luxury conducive to relaxation and revitalization and will feature local Irish artisan crafts, furniture and art. Despite being just a stone's throw from the vibrant small town of Ballydehob, guests will feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle, allowing for a truly immersive and rejuvenating experience. Throughout the day, guests can easily explore the charming offerings of Ballydehob, with its array of cafes, restaurants, and music venues, all just a short 2-minute walk from the site.
