Built to be energy-efficient, Coulibri Ridge is proof that sustainability and luxury dont need to be mutually exclusive.

Buildings

Accommodation is arranged across five three-story units, each with a mix of room types.

Every building has its own power-generating mini grid as well as a rainwater-harvesting system.
