Raffles Seychelles has been awarded its first Green Globe certification, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing journey towards responsible luxury, environmental stewardship and community engagement.
Situated on the pristine island of Praslin, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the lush greenery of the Seychelles archipelago, Raffles Seychelles is more than just a tropical sanctuary. It is a resort with purpose, where sustainability shapes every aspect of the guest journey and operational philosophy. Green Globe certification reflects years of dedication and a firm belief that true luxury should protect and preserve the beauty that inspires it.
The resort’s sustainable initiatives begin with its core operations. An on-site water bottling plant has helped eliminate single-use plastic bottles, saving more than 480,000 bottles and over 19 tonnes of plastic waste from landfill. Local sourcing is a priority, with more than 98 percent of seafood and half of all produce coming from small-scale Seychellois suppliers. Menus across the resort are curated to reflect the seasons and support a low-waste dining experience. Every villa is fitted with solar water heaters and further upgrades in the future include energy-efficient appliances and low-flow water fixtures.
Surrounded by some of the world’s most precious ecosystems including the Vallée de Mai and Curieuse Marine Park, the resort embraces its role as a guardian of biodiversity.
