A Sanctuary of Sustainability: Beleza By The Beach Weaves Eco-Conscious Practices into the Guest Experience
This editorial summary highlights how Beleza By The Beach has made a lasting commitment to sustainability, a core principle since the resort’s inception in 2008. The property’s approach goes beyond simple practices, integrating eco-friendly initiatives into construction, daily operations, and guest experiences to create a meaningful and responsible stay. The resort’s dedication to supporting the local community and charitable endeavors is also a central theme.
Key Highlights:
- Eco-Conscious Construction: The resort was built using locally sourced materials like laterite instead of traditional bricks, a decision made to support the local community.
- Plastic-Free Initiatives: Single-use plastic is banned on the property; guests are served water in reusable glass bottles.
Water Recycling: The hotel has its own sewage treatment plant that recycles all wastewater, which is then used to maintain the gardens and for cleaning. - Farm-to-Table Practices: The on-site restaurants partner with local farmers, sourcing ingredients like red rice and seasonal vegetables from surrounding paddy fields and gardens.
- Community and Social Responsibility: The resort is actively involved in monthly beach cleaning drives and launched its “B. Compassionate” initiative to raise awareness for the Akshaya Patra Foundation, a charity dedicated to ending classroom hunger.
Quote: “The key idea behind all the corporate social responsibility efforts,” said Bhavna Bahl, President of Business Development at Beleza By The Beach, “is to pursue pro-social objectives, in addition to running a business and growing it. I am deeply moved by AP’s noble endeavor to aid in promoting education by alleviating hunger in school-going children.”
