OUR LEGACY
A legacy of 'firsts,' at one of the world’s pioneering resorts in eco-luxury
Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji is celebrated as one of the World’s First Eco-Luxury Resorts with highly developed sustainability programmes, coupled with extensive ecological preservation and educational programmes provided by our naturalist staff of the local community.
With the Fijian people’s wisdom as inspiration, having flourished for over three thousand years by living off the natural bounty that surrounds them, it was explorer, environmentalist, and educator, Jean-Michel Cousteau and his team of conservationists, who believed luxury could embrace sustainability, offering a haven where rejuvenation flows naturally.
In Fiji, supported by over one hundred and fifty environmentally impassioned local staff, the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji thrives as a testament to eco-friendly luxury and cultural preservation. Its mission, rooted in environmental care, continues to educate change worldwide – one guest at a time. Jean-Michel Cousteau’s endeavour lives on, an enduring force for our community and a beacon of hope for generations to come.
Purpose and passion for more than four decades
Son of the legendary SCUBA inventor and oceanographer Jacques Yves Cousteau, Jean-Michel has devoted his life to teaching others about the importance of our precious oceans. His love and concern for our water planet began as a child, and he continues to inspire through media, education, and environmental diplomacy. A true guardian of the seas, he’s touched the hearts of many and made history in marine conservation.
From undersea live chats to ecologically responsible resorts, Jean-Michel Cousteau’s impact knows no bounds. He has built floating islands and transformed the Queen Mary into a Living Sea Museum. His commitment to a sustainable future is unwavering, and his accolades reflect a lifetime of dedication to our planet.
