Sustainability at Six Senses Fiji
At Six Senses Fiji, we work hard to reduce our environmental impact by continuously improving sustainability efforts each year. Our main focus includes conserving energy and water, expanding our solar energy production, increasing rainwater collection, enhancing organic production on our farm, and diverting waste from landfills. In our Earth Lab, we invite everyone to explore the cultural heritage and traditional practices and learn sustainable behaviors, through hands-on activities. We prioritize hiring local teams and offering growth opportunities through apprenticeships and development programs designed to nurture homegrown talent, with 34 percent of our hosts 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 community. Beyond our operations, the Regenerative Impact Fund, supported by 0.5 percent of total hotel revenue, drives impactful projects including reef restoration, the protection of the Fijian crested iguana, education initiatives, providing access to clean water, and restoring infrastructures in the local community.
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’re proud to provide a safe home for critically endangered Fijian Crested Iguanas. Since opening in April 2018, their population has grown from 17 to 43. 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 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 focus on regenerating Fiji's stunning yet fragile coral reefs. Since 2024, 4,312 coral fragments have been outplanted across our house reef. Additionally, our coral nurseries have expanded to host 31,080 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 host regular awareness sessions throughout the year. In 2025, 657 people participated, helping to spread the word about the importance of preserving our 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, which play a vital role in harvesting and storing rainwater during the wet season, helping to ensure a reliable water supply throughout the year. We also donated essential equipment to the Malolo Health Center, supporting improved access to basic healthcare services in the Mamanucas group of islands.
We continue to raise awareness about responsible waste management, empowering our community with the knowledge and tools to better protect their environment.

Stray Animals
Recognizing that unmanaged animal populations impact biodiversity, animal welfare, and community health and safety, we partnered with Animals Fiji and neighboring resorts to deliver a program backed by the Ministry of Agriculture focused 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 in a celebration of sport, teamwork, and shared identity.
Beyond competition, the games create opportunities for young people 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 well-being.
