Sustainability stories based on facts not fiction
Far from lessening the pleasure, following sustainable architectural and design practices enhances the hospitality experience. Fresh air, waking up to birdsong, homemade food and enjoying the natural biodiversity… we believe healthy hotels and resorts improve guests’ well-being and balance.
Conserving compassionately
Like hermit crabs that change shells when outgrowing their previous, The Maldives Underwater Initiative at Six Senses Laamu also needs a larger space to call home. As the team grows in size and ambitions, they have unveiled a new ‘SHELL’.
Harnessing the sun in Vietnam
Here’s a bright idea! Six Senses Ninh Van Bay introduces Ninh Van Greens, the first in-resort solar farm in Vietnam, which will provide electricity, organic veg, and hot water. The organic garden, Solar FreshCuts, is planted beneath the panels.
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.
Walk on the wild side in Rajasthan
Six Senses Fort Barwara is rewilding to remove invasive plants, replant endemic flora, and bring back birdlife, jackals, and leopards, vital for rebalancing the ecology. Take advantage of our First Anniversary Celebration in October to get involved.
Sustainability impacts
We’ve always emphasized becoming self-sustaining, regenerative, plastic-free and collaborative with NGOs around conservation, community, culture, and commerce. But what does that mean in real terms, counting every bottle, turtle, and coral fragment?
Power to our Climate Warriors!
The world we’re handing over to our kids is a bit broken. But little ones can make big changes. See how our Climate Warriors are already part of the fix, trialing at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay and rolling out group-wide on Earth Day. It’s seriously fun!
Six Senses Declares a Climate Emergency
Environmental and social responsibility is at the heart of the Six Senses approach. That’s why we join individuals, travel, and other companies in declaring a climate emergency and highlighting the seriousness of human impacts brought about by climate change. Many of these are disproportionately felt by communities in the global south and by younger and future generations.
Six Senses Climate Action Plan
For Six Senses, sustainability is only the first step in establishing a reciprocal relationship with local ecosystems, communities and cultures. Going beyond protection, acting as a regenerative business adds value to all local stakeholders (whether human, animal or plant) with the ultimate aim of Six Senses giving back more than it takes.
Global Tourism Plastics Initiative
We are delighted to be one of the first signatories of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative, part of the One Planet Sustainable Tourism Programme led by the UN Environment Programme and UN World Tourism Organization, in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
Loving life like langurs
We’re delighted to share the results of our latest study on black-shanked douc langurs, which shows how we’re helping to preserve and increase the population of endangered monkeys at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay in Vietnam.
