According to Flohr's Instagram, the resort has an on-site farm to grow food that will be served to guests.
The building materials for the resort are made from the island's sand and saltwater to make a sand-based mortar.
The mortar is used as the base material for the 3D printing technology to print construction elements including flooring, tiling, and masonry.
Objects for the interiors of the 12 bungalows across the resort and their facades will be 3D printed, along with coral reefs and marine habitats.
Buildings will also incorporate weaving, carpentry, and textiles from inhabitants of Benguerra Island.
Kisawa says the resort will add 1,000 local jobs, and will "carefully preserve the environment and local culture surrounding it."
Benguerra Island is home to wildlife including flamingos, dolphins, and turtles. Kisawa will have a diving center where guests can take marine safaris.
