At Nyne Hotels, we prioritize sustainability through eco-friendly practices that preserve nature and support local communities for a positive impact.
Energy Efficiency
Across all of our properties at Nyne, we are deeply committed to energy-saving practices and sustainable energy sources. Our properties include energy-efficient lighting systems and solar heating panels, ensuring less reliance on power from the national grid. A few of our properties also go as far as producing their own electricity using solar panels.
Bioclimatic architecture: The architectural style of Nyne Hotels is ecologically sensitive in a way that aligns with nature. Our properties have been designed with optimal orientation to maximise sunlight and breeze, allowing us to rely less on artificial lighting and cooling systems and reducing the buildings’ carbon footprint.
Reduced laundry: All our properties are seeing an increasing number of guests opting out of the daily changing of linen and towels due to climate consciousness. Nyne encourages guests to reuse towels and linen, promoting water conservation and reducing the use of chemicals entering the soil.
Waste Reduction
Our dedication to minimising waste and promoting more sustainable disposal and usage is a unified thought across all our team members. We have an established recycling programme and are constantly searching for alternatives to support reduced consumption of single-use items. Additionally, upon transitioning into more sustainable options, we ensure that our used items are not disposed of but donated to charities and local organisations.
Reduced food waste: We offer à la carte menus, steering away from buffet-style dining. Having curated menus is a sustainable way to both reduce food waste and match various dietary preferences and restrictions of our guests.
Organic garden and composing: Most of our properties have their own garden space that grows vegetables, fruits and herbs, ensuring a farm to table concept wherever possible. Moreover, our gardens are also fertilised using the organic compost generated by the waste from our kitchens and restaurants.
Community Engagement
Giving back to our local communities has always been a priority for us. For us, this happens in a few ways. Understanding that the local community is an integral part of our success means that we aim to give preference to those from surrounding neighbourhoods for employment. As patrons of local art, we always search for local artisans and see how best we can represent their artwork in our properties. And finally, we support and lead local conservation initiatives and environmental education programmes wherever possible.
Supporting local art: We display and sell art and plan excursions to local artists and neighbourhoods to promote cultural heritage and celebrate traditional craftsmanship.
Buy local: If our property doesn't produce it already, we ensure that our fresh produce is always sourced from the local market (pola) and, if by the ocean, the pier and fish market. Guests, if interested, are also encouraged to come along and experience a different side of local culture.
