Travel For Good Sustainable Luxury at Beckons Beckons works to enrich our team members, our local communities, and our guests, with purposeful growth, conscientious stewardship, and genuine and re-energising connection to unique landscapes, peoples and cultures. The broader Beckons commitment to sustainable luxury travel is best expressed by each of the lodge’s interactions with their natural environment, the local community and its culture, where protection and preservation of each lodge’s natural and cultural surroundings is a firm priority. The Beckons approach to sustainability is essential to lodge operations both to ensure the well-being of the destinations it operates in and to enhance the guest experience. Natural Environment Dynamic environmental management plans for each property embrace advanced and emerging technology and work alongside local organisations including government agencies, national parks and conservation sanctuaries to ensure all activities are in line with each region’s conservation goals. Local Community Active engagement with local communities includes establishing supportive supplier relationships with food and beverage producers, artists and designers as well as supporting local charities, education initiatives, community events and work experience programs. Culture & Heritage Beckons provides guests with a chance to connect with each lodge location’s culture and heritage. This encompasses all aspects of the lodge experience, from design to food and drinks and signature guest tours. People Beckons’ own team of people is its greatest asset, and the company carries a ‘family’ style culture with a commitment to the long-term development and wellbeing of every member of its team.
‘For the community and landscape on Kangaroo Island the rebuild of Southern Ocean Lodge was a period of regeneration. We’re so pleased to welcome our guests to a lodge that bears many of the well-loved hallmarks of the original, as well as new features for guests and sustainability initiatives that make the new-look Southern Ocean Lodge better, smarter and ready for the future.
