Description

With its own desalinization plant, energy-efficient products, and a strong ‘reduce, reuse, renew’ mindset, the luxurious, fully-inclusive Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada continues to be one of the most environmentally conscious properties in the Caribbean – proving you can be committed to being “green” without compromising elegant appeal.

Recognizing its responsibility to conservation and the environment, Spice Island Beach Resort has put into effect an impressive list of policies based on reducing energy and water consumption, recycling and utilizing environmentally-friendly alternatives when available.

Following is an outline of the resort’s current practices: • Use of solar rooftop heaters for all hot water needs. • Use of energy-efficient, compact fluorescent bulbs throughout the property. • Outside lights on timers. • Turning off air conditioners when rooms aren’t occupied and encouraging guests to conserve as well. • Utilizing water from the sea (during the dry season) through an on-property desalinization plant (where seawater is desalinized into fresh water). • Purification of the main swimming pool and private pools in the Anthurium, Luxury Almond and Royal Collection Suites by the chemical-free Auto Pilot system, which uses salt as opposed to chlorine (the resort has converted 295,000 gallons of water).
• Composting and maintenance of a vegetable and herb garden that supplies the kitchen with fresh ingredients. • Water and electricity meter readings are conducted daily and communicated at morning meetings. • 1.5 gpm aerators installed on all taps in the bathrooms and on some kitchen sinks. • Reuse of office paper for internal printing and old towels as kitchen and housekeeping washcloths. • Use of environmentally-friendly cleaning products (most cleaning products are food-based, non-toxic and phosphate-free). • Purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables grown locally and organically. • Purchase of energy-efficient electrical appliances and water conservation devices. • Incorporation of native plants into the landscaping, replanting of trees, placement of garbage containers on Grand Anse Beach, and clean-ups of reefs and the surrounding Mourne Rouge area. • Empowering each employee as an “Environmental Agent” by providing them with the necessary training and education on the resort’s environmental practices, policies and objectives. The resort also has a Green Team comprised of staff supervisors and managers to oversee and implement the environmental program.

Recognizing the resort’s commitment to operating at the world’s highest environmental standards, Spice Island Beach Resort received the prestigious Green Globe Certification Award this year.

Attention to detail is found in 64 suites that boast a style and elegance befitting royalty. The full-service Janissa’s Spa and fitness center, Oliver’s beachside gourmet restaurant, Sea & Surf Terrace, centrally-located swimming pool and superb views of the Caribbean Sea are sure to please even the most discerning traveler.
