Savu, Alor – Leading the Way in Sustainability

Savu Alor Dive Resort is a pioneering eco-friendly destination that embodies sustainable development. Johannes and Lily, the resort’s visionary owners, have created a best-practice model that combines renewable energy, permaculture design principles, and local community engagement.
The resort is located on a remote site on the southwest corner of Pulau Alor in Nusa Tenggara, so logistics can be a challenge and all the fuel supply for the operation needs to be brought to site by boat. Minimization of diesel fuel supply is a key operational requirement.
