Elysee63’s dedication to the holistic life had led to its involvement in sustainable development and cultural viability. Wherever Elysee63 has a presence outside of Paris, the common thread between the locations is a focus on the environment. And it’s at special resorts within these locations that Elysee63 will host retreats throughout the year.

Siwa, Egypt

Nestled at the foot of a majestic mountain overlooking ancient olive and palm groves, Siwa’s largest salt lake, and the dunes of the Great Sand Sea, Adrère Amellal Oasis offers travelers a return-to-nature experience in a unique ecological and cultural setting. The ecolodge, which ranks second on Condé Nast Traveler's Green List of Best Resorts for 2005, has been built with utmost sensitivity to socio-cultural and environmental considerations. Dilapidated Siwan houses have been restored and extended, using kershef - a mixture of rock salt and mud - to build the walls. A team of trained Siwan staff offer quality hospitality services. The ecolodge, which is a product of the ancient wisdom and creativity of Siwan master builders and craftsmen whose trades were becoming extinct, has led to a revival of traditional building techniques in the oasis.
