🌱 Sustainability at Tadmal (ताडमाळ)

Because caring for nature is not optional — it’s our responsibility.

Tadmal sits on a delicate transition zone at the start of the Konkan forest belt. One side is Pen town, the other side is industrial development. This makes our land a sensitive wildlife support corridor.

We protect it with intention, discipline, and love.

⭐ Recycled Wood Architecture

Nearly 90% of the wood across Tadmal is recycled — rescued from:

  • demolished old Konkan houses
  • decommissioned ships
  • antique wooden beams
  • old door & window frames

All furniture was crafted on-site by local carpenters.
No factory-made units.
No unnecessary cutting of new trees.

This reduces:

  • material waste
  • carbon footprint
  • deforestation impact

And gives Tadmal its earthy, heritage charm.

⭐ Chira Stone Construction

Chira (laterite) stone is natural, breathable, and climate-friendly.

It keeps rooms cool without heavy AC usage.
It blends with the land beautifully.
It supports local stonemasons and traditional techniques.

⭐ Solar Energy

A part of our electricity is generated through solar power, reducing dependence on the grid.

⭐ Bio-Gas System

Kitchen waste is used to produce bio-gas, reducing LPG usage and minimizing landfill contribution.

⭐ Composting

All biodegradable waste becomes compost for our soil and plants.

⭐ Low-Noise, Low-Light Policy

We respect the wildlife around us.
So we avoid:

  • loud music
  • bright floodlights
  • chemical sprays
  • plastic trash

Nights at Tadmal remain beautifully dark and peaceful — perfect for the animals, perfect for the stars.

⭐ Zero Plastic & Zero Chemical Policy

We do not use:

  • plastic plates
  • plastic bottles
  • chemical-based cleaners
  • chemical landscaping

Only natural surroundings, natural life.

⭐ Community First

Our team is local.
Our tribal girls lead the hospitality.
Our materials are sourced from nearby villages.
Our work supports over 30 families indirectly.

Tadmal is proof that a retreat can be peaceful, beautiful, and successful —
without harming nature or culture.
