Sustainability at the Heart of RAAYA

🌱 Farm-to-Table Dining with Seb’s Farm

Launched in January, Seb’s Farm offers a unique ‘Harvest to Table to Soul’ experience. Spanning 2,500 square meters, the farm provides fresh, organic produce for the resort’s restaurants, reducing reliance on imports and promoting self-sufficiency. Hydroponic farming, composting, and rainwater collection further enhance its eco-friendly approach.

☀️ Solar-Powered Sustainability

RAAYA harnesses solar energy, cutting down diesel consumption by 34,500 litres per month, significantly lowering carbon emissions and promoting cleaner energy solutions.

♻️ Waste & Water Management

The resort employs a comprehensive waste management system, including composting, recycling, and water conservation initiatives. Purified rainwater is used for irrigation, while waste heat from generators helps provide warm water for staff accommodations.

🌿 Engaging Guests in Eco-Conscious Living

Guests are encouraged to participate in sustainability efforts through RAAYA’s Green Book, which details the resort’s green initiatives and offers practical ways to contribute—such as reducing water usage and opting for organic dining and nature excursions.
