Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa’s dedication to sustainability is evident in its variety of curated guest experiences. All excursions are conducted without any plastic bottles or disposals, and bento boxes are used to carry food and water. Local fishing trips use traditional Maldivian methods like hand lines, hooks, sinkers, and bait. Fish that do not meet the minimum length or are a protected species are released. Guests are only permitted to keep one catch per villa and the rest will be released. Coral reef monitoring, based on the Australian programme ‘Coral Watch’, is conducted every month at the resort's house reef, which is surrounded by powder-white sand beaches. This is done to help protect the natural environment of Hadahaa private island. The removal of threatening species from the coral reef, such as the Crown of Thorns sea star and the Drupella sea snail, is conducted on a weekly basis. Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa is also involved in the ‘Reef & Me’ project, which provides awareness and education to local school children about the coral reef ecosystems. The resort’s staff give talks on reef sustainability at schools on two nearby islands, while a marine biologist gives twice-weekly ‘Go Deeper’ talks to guests at the resort to educate them about the environment. 

Six Senses Con Dao, Vietnam Six Senses Con Dao, located in a protected national marine park in Vietnam’s island hideaway, takes the top spot in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards. Noted for its efforts to conserve endangered green turtles and for being 99 percent plastic free, the resort has pledged to further minimise its carbon footprint with numerous energy and environmental initiatives. Hatching rates are exceeding records at the Let’s Get Cracking turtle egg incubation centre, reaching over 95 per cent. Last year, more than 1,000 turtles were successfully released back into the protected waters in association with the National Park. Guests visiting Six Senses Con Dao this year will be welcomed with a variety of new amenities and experiences that go well with the surrounding environment and the organic wellness way of life the resort advocates. A new dining experience is also ready to launch. Dining Under The Stars provides a chance to dine from the rooftops of the By the Beach restaurant, offering contemporary international and Vietnamese cuisines with a panoramic view as the sun sinks into the ocean. Up to four people can enjoy this, adding to the already popular Chef’s Table, Wine Cellar, Sense of Gardening, By the Market, and Private In-Residence and Beach Dining guest experiences. The resort is also excited to add an exclusive beach escapade at Hideaway Beach, situated past the headland of Lo Voi Mountain. With options for a private eco-BBQ or an organic picnic, it is ideal for anyone looking for a desert island experience.

1 Hotel Haitang Bay, Sanya China’s eco-conscious luxury lifestyle destination 1 Hotel Haitang Bay, Sanya  presents seven unique F&B outlets where locally-sourced ingredients take centre-stage. With superior seafood from the best local suppliers and seasonal fruits cultivated at Sunshine 18 Degree, a huge off-site farm, the first Asian location of US-based 1 Hotels features some of the island’s freshest flavours. “At 1 Hotel Haitang Bay, Sanya, we are passionate about taking our guests on an extraordinary culinary journey that showcases the fantastic ingredients this beautiful island has to offer,” says Director of Culinary, Malaysian Chinese chef Pearl Woo. “We are excited to share 1 Hotels’ philosophy of making food that is good, clean, and fair, from farm to fork with our guests in Sanya.” Introducing a mission-driven luxury lifestyle, 1 Hotel Haitang Bay’s eco-architecture and nature-inspired interiors are carefully designed to complement its culinary philosophy.
