“A natural fit for the Relais & Châteaux family, The Meridian Club Pine Cay champion’s the brand’s core pillars of sustainability and biodiversity, through its own proactive ecological initiatives, including rainwater harvesting, electric transportation and the usage of solar panels,” the resort said in a statement.
