Sustainable is not something that we do; it is who we are
For us, 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 goal to be free of unnecessary plastic (our “18 Most Unwanted”) is on track. Along the way, we have developed some great new best practices which we are sharing with our suppliers and industry as a whole. What started as bottling our own water is developing into so much more. The end of plastic is only the start of the story.
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.
Plastic Freedom
Starting with banning single-use and disposable plastic and the elimination of plastic straws from all our hotels.
Inside Hotel
From passive cooling to energy efficiency, electric transport, biodegradable cleaning products and Earth Labs.

Sustainability Camp for teens
Complementing our popular Climate Warriors initiative and the resort’s Junior Marine Biology program, Six Senses Laamu launches a camp for your teens (and you) to learn about Zero Waste, Home Grown, and Nature Conservation.
Sustainability Fund
Our sustainability fund comprises 0.5 percent of revenues, 100 percent soft toy sales and donations, and 50 percent of house-bottled water sales. The money is used locally in a way that supports equal access to an improved quality of life for all and restore habitats and 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!
