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.
But don’t just take our word for it. Effective as of December, 2024 all Six Senses hotels are GSTC Certified via third-party audits by Control Union (with the exception of hotels not operating before 2024
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.

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 a 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, while goats help us handle our fresh kitchen scraps. Come and get your hands dirty foraging for clean food!
