Cempedak Island is a unique private island with sustainability at the forefront of its ground-breaking design. Approaching by private speed boat across shimmering azure waters towards the white sands of Cempedak, the island’s stunning hand-crafted bamboo villas will be just visible through the natural jungle-foliage. And this is a true retreat – luxury on Cempedak means space and time to truly disconnect – with a maximum of 40 guests, adults only policy, no televisions and an island that has been slowly developed over several years to preserve the natural habitat and wildlife. Every guest will find a secluded idyll on Cempedak and going barefoot is positively encouraged. As with Nikoi Island, sister to Cempedak and renowned for its simple luxury and sustainability, conservation and consideration of environmental issues have been a priority in the development of Cempedak. The use of locally sourced sustainable materials and a devotion to maintaining the natural beauty of the island ensures Cempedak Island will be an ecologically sound destination with preservation at its heart. The environmental strategy extends beyond the island to the employment and training of local staff. As a result, Cempedak is not only an important contributor to the local community, but a project that local people feel proud and privileged to be part of.
