As travellers seek out more purposeful, impact-driven vacations, the concept of ‘regenerative travel’ has taken the industry by storm. Unlike traditional sustainability, which focuses on minimising harm, regenerative travel aims to actively restore, revitalise and protect the natural and cultural fabrics of a destination.
Nowhere is this approach more beautifully embodied than at Marriott’s portfolio of luxury resorts in the stunning Fijian islands. From the overwater bures of Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay to the newly renovated Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island, Fiji, these properties are redefining how high-end travel can be a force for good by honouring the essence of Fiji.
- Eco-Friendly Initiatives:
- Guests of Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay are encouraged to participate in the following activities guided by the resort’s Sustainability Manager and Marine Conservation Expert:
-
- Coral Planting through propagation and transplanting
- Mangrove Planting
- Reseeding Program at the Giant Clam Nursery
- Turtle Conservation Initiative at the See Turtle Sanctuary
- In numbers, Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay has planted over 3,100 mangroves and 414 kg of coral, significantly contributing to coastal protection and marine ecosystem restoration.
- Farm-to-Table Dining:
- Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort and Sheraton Denarau Villas employ ‘No-Till’ sustainable farming methods on their 5-acre farmland, cultivating organic produce for its restaurants and bars.
- The farm produces an impressive weekly yield, including 10kg of mint, 15kg of basil, and various fruits and vegetables, ensuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients for guests.
- Longevity within Luxury Accommodations:
- From overwater bures at Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay to the newly renovated Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island, these properties offer world-class amenities while maintaining a commitment to environmental stewardship.
- Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay has eliminated single-use plastic room amenities, reducing plastic waste by more than 2,048 kg annually.
- Community Engagement:
- Resorts provide opportunities for guests to participate in beach clean-ups, mangrove planting, and local village visits, fostering a sense of responsible tourism.
- Each resort offers authentic Fijian experiences like traditional kava ceremonies, lovo-style cuisine, and meke performances, allowing guests to connect deeply with local culture.
At the heart of Marriott’s regenerative initiatives in Fiji is a deep commitment to nurturing the islands’ delicate ecosystems and thriving local culture. These immersive experiences don’t just leave a light footprint – they actively rebuild and replenish the natural habitats and cultural heritage that make Fiji such a breathtaking destination.
As the travel industry evolves to meet the expectations of the modern, conscientious consumer, Marriott’s Fiji properties stand out as shining examples of how luxury and regeneration can coexist.
