At the Clifftop, we are dedicated to sustainability. As we create a place of healing retreat we are redesigning the business at every level—each decision made in favor of the most life-giving, sustainable, earth-kind, people-supporting options. We’re enthusiastic about this adventure of leaving the lightest ecological footprint possible, and celebrate the fact that we get to offer you a “green” travel experience that benefits everyone.
