A Sustainable Life

The Chilko Experience strives to provide guests with a luxury standard while living in harmony with the beautiful nature in which we reside.

Off-grid living is the staple of our sustainability practice.

We are 40 miles from the power grid, so we have had to get creative with our natural resources! Our impressive 78 solar panels provide the bulk of our energy by soaking up the sun’s rays powering all homes on the estate. Our fresh water comes from a well and is the purest in the world. Our hot tub is heated with firewood and works without additional chemicals, and in our greenhouse, we plant vegetables, salads and herbs so we can offer you the best organic quality. In addition, we prepare local and organic foods whenever possible. Our soaps and shampoos are biodegradable.
