Protecting Merlin Beach & House Reef

Our beach and Merlin House Reef are a designated protected area. In partnership with WildAid Thailand, we apply scientific monitoring toward establishing a Locally Managed Marine Area (LMMA), supporting the global 30×30 mission to conserve marine and coastal ecosystems.

Merlin Butterfly Sanctuary & Nature Walk

Educational Center for Children

Our Educational Center provides hands-on learning experiences for children, including activities in our Herb Garden with our chefs and conservation-focused experiences. Through these activities, we aim to inspire the next generation to understand and care for the environment.
