Our Green Practices

Oualie Beach Resort features innovative programmes to reduce its impact on the environment.

Energy

• We use photovoltaic panels to produce enough electricity to run the kitchen.
• We use solar heaters to produce hot water for all the rooms.
• We use low energy lights throughout the entire property.

Recycling

• We recycle our kitchen food waste by giving it to local pig farmers.
• We recycle used bottles to produce glasses, ash trays, and décor for the restaurant.
• We use 100% biodegradable takeaway containers.
• We use recycling bins for aluminum, metal and plastic to be recycled.

Food

• We support local agriculture by insisting on using local vegetables, fruits, meat and fish wherever possible rather than importing.
• We grow our own fresh herbs, flowers, and orchids rather than importing.

Water

• We use rainwater and grey water to irrigate the gardens.
• We save energy and water by offering guests the option to limit towel and linen washing.

Community

• We sponsor a local school (St James primary school) in the form of sports uniforms, cash donations, and prizes for good performance.
• We sponsor a team of eye surgeons who in return perform about 100 eye operations annually for the local community.
• We support local music with the employment of local musicians.

Conservation

• We protect sea turtles by securing their nests and any offspring that are present on the property.
