The five-star Salinda Resort Phu Quoc Island has launched “Purple by Salinda” as a sustainability initiative that encourages an eco-friendly way of living.
The initiative is named “Purple by Salinda” because purple is deemed the color of the sustainable economy.
From the architecture to its daily operations, this luxury boutique resort promotes environmental stewardship by creating a holiday where guests can relax in the knowledge that the team is doing its best to protect Phu Quoc Island.
Salinda incorporates various biodegradable and renewable materials, such as the world’s most sustainable wood Accoya, LED lighting that covers 85% of the property, and entirely recyclable window panels from Schueco.
The resort compliments the natural beauty of the island by dedicating 70% of the land to planting trees and flowers, reaching around 100 species. A special salt-filtration technology of the pool purifies water by substituting traditional industrial chlorine with ionized one extracted from natural salt.
Besides a complete substitution of the plastic straws with bamboo, acrylic and stainless steel in August 2018, Salinda has implemented other sustainable practices such as sewage purification treatment, sending plastic water bottles to recycling companies, and solar panels that provide energy for water heating of the entire resort.
