Sustainability & Environmental Friendly Initiatives & Best Practices in place are: Bulk packaging for common use Toiletry Amenities. Dehydrating unconsumed Fresh Fruits so it does not spoil; used for snack or mixed with infused water or tea.

Repurpose torn unusable bath towel into foot mitts. Discontinue serving individualized bottle water for guests at the pool, tonic bar & gym. Instead have an enticing selection of drinking water & a decorative rack of unbreakable glasses available. Repurpose unusable flat sheets into poultice for treatments instead of buying brand new muslin cloth. Switching off lights & power when area is not in use. Instead of giving out printed spa menu- requesting for guest email to send treatment menu thru email/ Viber. Reusing empty massage bottles for storage of liquid products.
Our facility take advantage of natural light whenever available & make sure that unnecessary lights and power are switched off.

Covid-19 presented us with a situation where we had no choice but to re-think how to run our business more efficiently. At Spa Village with undertook a number of innovations including, consolidating four spa location reservations into one central reservation center. We now use mobile and WhatsAop numbers to take reservations and to confirm bookings, reducing the conventional land line inefficiency of a staff member to pick up and transfer the phone call. Our hygiene and safety protocols are of utmost importance, as we have committed more time sanitize and prepare the space for our guests. We also encouraged advance booking and pre-payment, which lead to fewer cancellations as we discouraged walk-in business. We closed the spa for two days a week, enabling us to have more staff on a daily basis. The results of these innovations in our business led to a more efficient business model and our people are more productive while our guest service scores remained high.
