Shangri-La aims to welcome you in a sustainable manner at their resorts, offering hospitality that empowers local communities and celebrates the Asian heritage. This is achieved through the Triple S strategy of Stay, Savour, and Shine, which is embedded in every aspect of the resort or activity.

Stay; during your stay, energy and water are used efficiently, and ongoing efforts are made to develop innovative projects related to these themes. Think of annually reducing energy consumption, as well as continually upgrading transportation within the resort, such as better batteries for golf carts. There is also a dedicated program for waste management and minimizing plastic use. Guest reviews and feedback are also part of this process.

Savour; continuous improvement is also made in the culinary field with a focus on sustainability. This includes growing your own vegetables and fruits, maintaining a bee garden, and catching sustainable fish. Additionally, there are special programs addressing food waste and reducing plastic in the kitchens and restaurants. Items like plastic water bottles are increasingly phased out and replaced with more sustainable solutions.

Shine: This involves incorporating the cultural heritage of Sabah and Borneo, as well as supporting the local community and population. When you look around, the décor is often sustainably produced, made from sustainable materials, or restored from cultural heritage. For example, the resort offers the Growbag, which is ecologically designed by a local designer to blend with the beautiful natural surroundings.

Located within the Rasa Ria reserve, the resort preserves the natural environment as much as possible, minimizing impact on the flora and fauna. The resort offers various opportunities to learn more about the ecosystems within the reserve, such as a Discovery Centre and several biologists who can share their knowledge.

In addition to all this, the resort collaborates with various carefully selected companies to promote sustainability worldwide and to facilitate the process. Guests can participate daily in a beach clean-up program.
