Environmental Awareness in the Maldives and Caribbean

November 13, 2018

This month we have focused on four of our fantastic properties which are working hard to protect, restore and reduce their impact on the environment.

If you would like further information on any of the properties mentioned, or to discuss your next holiday to the Caribbean or the Maldives, call us on 01752 880880 or email [email protected].

Petit St Vincent, The Grenadines

Petit St Vincent are already seeing fantastic results with fast growth and good survival of the corals in their nurseries. Guests are invited to go for a guided tour to take a closer look at the coral restoration efforts for themselves.

Launching this month, they are also offering guests the opportunity to plant their own coral under the supervision of the coral specialists.

Bay Gardens Beach Resort, St Lucia

By the end of this month, Bay Gardens Resorts will have phased out the use of plastic items in favour of biodegradable versions made from wood, paper, compostable plastic and sugarcane bagasse – dry pulpy residue left after the extraction of the juice.

Over a year ago they terminated the use of all Styrofoam products and also introduced occupancy sensors in guestrooms, which detect when a room is vacant, so far leading to a 15% reduction in energy use.
