About Us
History
We are three Swiss partners. Peter is managing Driftwood Village and Driftwood City in Sipalay. Seven employees are currently working for us.
Peter lives in Negros since 1997. We bought the property back in April 1999 and started building the resort in December 2001. All our buildings are strictly natively looking from the outside but offer a lot of comfort inside. The roughly 10000 sqm big lot with 150 m beach front led us to the idea of building the Driftwood Village», situated right at the center of the purely sandy Sugar Beach. The first visitors already arrived mid 2002 and we are enjoying increasing numbers of guests ever since.
Our Resort
Except for the modern bathrooms with hot and cold shower, all of our buildings are made of wood and bamboo with nipa roofing. Our rooms use mosquito nets and fans instead of air conditioning. Technically we are on an island, so although we have electricity.
Our Concept
Our resort is distinguished on Sugar Beach by the size and density of our trees and greenery. This keeps the ground temperature down naturally and helps slow water evaporation and wind erosion. We regularly replant trees and shrubs along our beachfront and over our whole lot. As for the activities that our resort offers such as kayaking, snorkeling and island hopping, we make sure that the areas we bring our guests to are safe for both the environment and the guests as well. Our boatmen and employees are all residents of this island, most of them native to Sugar Beach, so our resort gives them employment and opportunities.
