Sustainability at Six Senses Fiji
At Six Senses Fiji, we focus on using fewer resources while creating greater local impact. Solar power, rainwater collection, organic farming, and waste reduction all play a part. Earth Lab brings Fijian traditions to life through hands-on activities. We prioritize hiring locals and today, 34 percent of our hosts come from Solevu village, supported by apprenticeships and development opportunities. Our Regenerative Impact Fund, backed by 0.5 percent of hotel revenue, supports reef restoration, clean-water access, local education, and protection of the Fijian crested iguana.
Environmental Responsibility
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.

Iguana Conservation
We are proud to be home to the critically endangered Fijian Crested Iguanas. Since opening in April 2018, their population has grown from 17 to 43, as of our latest survey. In 2025, 15 Six Senses iguanas were translocated to nearby Qalito Island. This initiative supports population expansion and long-term security. Three female iguanas have already laid eggs, and the remaining are doing very well! As you walk along the winding boardwalk, keep an eye out for these elusive creatures, or join our Iguana Spotting experience.

Reef Restoration
Through our partnership with Coral Gardeners, we help protect and regenerate Fiji’s stunning yet fragile coral reefs. Since 2024, 4,312 coral fragments have been outplanted across our house reef, while our nurseries now hold 31,080 more for future planting once they reach the appropriate size. Education is part of the work too: in 2025, 657 people, hosts, and local community members joined awareness sessions focused on coral conservation to help spread the word about the importance of preserving coral ecosystems.
Social Responsibility
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.

Solevu Village
We work closely with Solevu Village on Malolo Island to enhance local livelihoods and support community development. In 2025, we contributed to the installation of four new 10,000-liter water tanks, helping to ensure a reliable water supply throughout the year. We donated essential equipment to the Malolo Health Centre, improving access to healthcare services in the Mamanucas group of islands. We also delivered awareness sessions on responsible waste management, empowering the community with the knowledge and tools to better protect their environment.

Stray Animals
Unmanaged animal populations impact biodiversity, animal welfare, and community health and safety. We support animal management initiative in partnership with Animals Fiji and neighbouring resorts, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture. The program focuses on sterilization, veterinary care, and improving animal welfare in Solevu and Yaro villages. In 2025, 67 animals were treated. We also delivered awareness sessions at Malolo District School, engaging 140 students and promoting responsible animal care within the community.

Community Rugby
Supporting community rugby is an important part of promoting access to training and development opportunities for island communities. This continues to be a key initiative, bringing together island teams to celebrate sport, teamwork, and shared identity. Beyond competition, the games create opportunities for youth to engage in structured training, encouraging healthy lifestyles, discipline, and positive role models. They reflect the true Fijian spirit — unity, respect, and collective pride — while strengthening community connections and wellbeing
