Our dedication to conservation and the community lies at the heart of everything we do. We are one of only a handful of resorts where the community are major contributors and stakeholders.

Gabriel and his family, after whom the site is named, first established a tourism business here several years ago. They are major stakeholders in the resort, and continue to be involved on a daily basis.

Many of our staff have grown up in the local community, and are welcoming you to their home. In return, we do our best to make their home a better place for them and their families.

Our Rainbow Fund supports a variety of social and environmental projects large and small. From building a new school to sponsoring the local football team, from helping local fisherman to forming the Dugong Protection Foundation, which protects Africa’s last viable population of this elusive mammal.
