The resort’s sustainability initiatives span multiple key areas, integrating innovative solutions to minimize environmental impact. Solar panels installed in the team members’ village contribute to a 40% reduction in energy consumption. Waste management is a priority, with a state-of-the-art composting system converting food waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer that supports the island’s lush vegetation. To combat plastic pollution, Kuda Villingili incorporates recycled materials into its design, featuring carpets made from repurposed plastic and bathtubs crafted from crushed marble. Additionally, an on-site recycling center processes glass bottles, repurposing them as sand replacements in construction.
Beyond infrastructure, Kuda Villingili actively fosters sustainability awareness among guests and team members, promoting responsible practices aligned with its eco-conscious mission.
