The vision for Bamboo Eco Resort & Spa is to enhance the quality and diversity of Jamaican Tourism by creating an environmentally sustainable luxury resort, while also providing a positive socio-economic benefit in the local community.
| In 1994 Bamboo Eco Resort’s Founders, James Burr and Jill McKenzie Burr, moved to Jamaica to explore sustainable living and island culture. Together they traveled island wide, gaining a passion for Jamaica’s warm friendly people and lush tropical beauty. They discovered the island to be rich in natural abundance, yet many rural villages were vitally in need of sustainable environmental and economic development. James and Jill quickly realized that Jamaica offered an excellent opportunity for ecological resort development, renewable energy production, natural products development and Certified Organic farming. |  |

In 2001 they began planning the development of Bamboo Eco Resort & Spa with the vision to create an entirely new type of resort in Jamaica, providing guests the quality of service, accommodations, and amenities of a luxury resort, offered in an environmentally and socially responsible context. Through the development of Luxury Eco Tourism and Wellness Spa travel Bamboo Eco Resort will serve as a vehicle to create a positive social and economic impact in rural Jamaica, where it is needed most. |
