From native replanting and predator control to local partnerships and a people-first approach to hospitality, this recognition reflects a journey of care — for the land, our team and our guests.

We’re proud to share a milestone that reflects who we are and what we value:
Okoro is officially carbon positive by 448,678 kg (448 tonnes) for the year ending 2025.

In simple terms, this means we’ve removed more carbon from the atmosphere than we have produced—giving back to the landscapes, people and precious ecosystems that make this place so special.

Thank you to our team, our partners and our guests for helping us tread lightly, plant trees and care deeply for the land we all love.
