Clean standard ingredients and the model from Farm to Table

One of the key elements that set Silk Sense and the five-star Areca Restaurant apart is #farm-to-table approach, utilizing fresh, organic ingredients harvested daily from Caman Village, an eco-friendly farm located right within the resort.

Caman Village is a special ecological farming area developed by Silk Sense, where our dedicated team carefully cultivates and nurtures each plant with passion and commitment. This organic garden operates under strict sustainable practices, ensuring a green, clean, and wholesome environment. No chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used; instead, we apply natural farming methods and organic compost made from non-plastic waste recycled directly from the resort, preserving the full nutritional value of every vegetable and herb.

At Caman Village, we focus on growing fresh greens, leafy vegetables and aromatic herbs for Areca Restaurant, as well as medicinal plants used in treatments at Lotus Spa and dried herbs for natural essential oils in our guest accommodations. Each morning, our organic produce is freshly harvested at its peak, undergoing rigorous quality checks before being delivered straight to Areca’s kitchen. This ensures that every dish served at Areca is made from the freshest, most flavorful, and nutrient-rich ingredients. More than just providing high-quality meals, this commitment reflects Silk Sense’s dedication to fostering a sustainable lifestyle.
