Sustainable is not something that we do; it is who we are
There’s no better designer than nature, and we have a duty to respect it. But who says sustainable can’t be sumptuous? Or travel can’t be purposeful? In our world, being environmentally friendly and socially responsible can be successfully wedded to uncompromisingly gorgeous hideaways. Empty of waste, toxins and plastic, and full of spirituality, celebration and joy.
Plastic Freedom
Our journey to eliminate plastic started when the brand was founded in the mid- 1990s and has been recorded ever since by dedicated sustainability teams at each property. This ethos has always been a hit with our guests so why stop there? We’re now on a mission to inspire the entire hotel industry to reduce plastic usage through 82 tried and tested solutions that prove positive action is possible. The end of plastic is only the start of the story: here’s how we (and you) make a difference.
Our approach to sustainability
We’re all part of a global community on a shared Earth. That’s why you don’t just observe the local heritage or ecology while you’re with us – you’re part of it. You can even help us give back to it.
Building
Making smart use of the land topography, orientation and renewable building materials to create spaces that are vibrant and alive.
Community
Employing and sourcing locally and leaving a legacy through education, sanitation and healthcare programs for future generations.
Environment
Preserving and rebuilding environments through our responsible operations and protecting habitats on land and in the water.

82 tried and tested solutions to plastic items in the four main areas of a hotel’s operations – housekeeping, back of house, food and beverage, and spa.

Sustainability funds at each property are used locally on social or environmental projects.

Sustainability Fund
Each property’s Sustainability Fund comprises 0.5 percent total revenue and 100 percent of our soft toy mascot sales The fund is spent on strategic, long-term projects that are locally relevant to each property, aimed at improving quality of life for local communities, restoring natural habitats or protecting wildlife populations.
Farm to Fork
Each property has an organic garden, which provides the resort’s kitchens with fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits as well as a range of ingredients for our spas and Alchemy Bars. Hens produce fresh eggs from their comfortable coops with surround sound. Come and get your hands dirty foraging for clean food!
