Our environmental projects focus on restoring the native forests of Malolo Island, protecting the critically endangered Fijian crested iguana, and revitalizing our beautiful coral reefs. These efforts are central to preserving the island’s unique biodiversity and ensuring the health of its ecosystems for future generations.
Six Senses Fiji is proud to be home to critically endangered Fijian Crested Iguanas. Since the resort’s opening in April 2018, their population has grown from 17 to 40 individuals as of our latest survey in January 2025. We continue to protect and expand their habitat within the resort’s “Green Belt” forest. In 2024, we added 0.5 hectares to this reserve, began restoration efforts by removing invasive species, and planted 400 native trees essential to the iguanas’ diet.
As you walk along the winding boardwalk, keep an eye out for these elusive creatures, or join our Iguana Spotting experience to learn more about them and our conservation efforts.
Through our partnership with the Coral Gardeners we focus on the protection and regeneration of Fiji's stunning yet fragile coral reefs. In 2024, 420 coral fragments were outplanted across 150 square meters of our house reef. Additionally, our coral nurseries have expanded and now host 20,900 coral fragments, ready to be outplanted once they reach the appropriate size.
Education is key to this mission! To involve our guests, hosts, and the local community in this cause, we hosted awareness sessions throughout the year. In 2024, 302 people participated, helping to spread the word about the importance of preserving our coral ecosystems.
Our community commitments focus on promoting the well-being and health of local populations, enhancing education, protecting the environment, and preserving both biodiversity and cultural heritage.
We work closely with Solevu Village on Malolo Island to enhance local livelihoods and support community development. In 2024, we contributed to the installation of three new 10,000-liter water tanks, which play a vital role in collecting and storing rainwater during the wet season, ensuring a reliable water supply year-round. In addition, we donated materials to Malolo District School to ensure they had everything needed to complete the third term. We also conducted awareness sessions on responsible waste management, empowering the community with the knowledge to protect their environment.
We prioritize hiring locals and offering growth opportunities through apprenticeships and development programs designed to nurture homegrown talent. In 2024, 96 percent of our hosts were of Fijian nationality, with 34 percent coming from the local village of Solevu. Through skill-building initiatives and mentorship, we empower individuals and contribute to long-term sustainable growth, creating a brighter future for our local workforce.
