Ecology of louth island

Protecting native flora and fauna in balance with the land.

Rumi is not just a resort; it’s a restoration and preservation project deeply rooted in respect for the island’s two-century-long history. We are meticulous in our conservation efforts, committing to a $10M restoration project. The mission is twofold:

1. To restore and reinvigorate the ancient island where Rumi calls home. This involves meticulous restoration and an ongoing commitment to revegetation and conservation.

2. To open the island’s unique beauty to the world, and share it wholeheartedly with intrepid guests who noy only seek an exceptional getaway, but also hold a genuine respect for the island’s ecology.

LOUTH ISLAND

Our history.

Once an untamed sheep farm, established in the 1800’s, Louth Island now reveals a rich heritage and stunning landscapes just a quick 10-minute journey from the coast of Port Lincoln.

From its humble beginnings in the early 19th century, this enchanting island has evolved through the ages, bearing witness to the ebb and flow of time.

Rumi is a project born from a deep respect and reverence for this historical gem.

LOUTH ISLAND

Our story.

The inspiration for Rumi on Louth stems from the incredible beauty and potential of Louth Island itself. When Owner and Fierce Protector, Che Metcalfe came across the opportunity to call it his own, he felt a deep responsibility to share this stunning piece of nature with the world, and thus Rumi on Louth was born.

What started as a personal project for Che, has evolved into a two-part commitment towards an exclusive island utopia and restoration project.

At present day, Rumi Reveal offers the promise of an extraordinary island experience.

An opportunity to explore in the wild. An opportunity to indulge in the luxurious.

Ecology

A haven for all.
