Six Senses Fiji, a premier destination for conscious luxury and wellness, has reported strong sustainability progress, following a year of measurable environmental impact, expanded biodiversity protection and deepened community partnerships. The resort’s 2025 sustainability achievements reflect a long-term commitment to regenerative tourism, where responsible operations, conservation leadership and meaningful local impact are embedded into everyday practice.
Across energy, water, waste, marine conservation, forest regeneration, and community initiatives, Six Senses Fiji continues to embed sustainability into everyday resort life, ensuring each guest stay supports the environment and local community.
Operational Performance
Behind every guest experience at Six Senses Fiji is a carefully managed operational framework designed to minimise environmental impact while maintaining the highest standard of comfort and service.
In 2025, the resort achieved:
· 16.43% reduction in total energy consumption
· 35.89% reduction in total water consumption
· 71.5% of all waste diverted from landfill through recycling, in-house composting, and livestock feeding initiatives in the local village.
The resort’s organic garden continued to expand, producing 3,126kg of fruits, vegetables and herbs, alongside 9,298 free-range eggs, strengthening food resilience while reducing reliance on imported products and associated carbon emissions.
In a significant milestone, Six Senses Fiji successfully completed its first independent third-party audit, achieving compliance with Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) standards through verification by Control Union. This milestone reinforces the resort’s commitment to transparency, accountability and continuous improvement.
Marine Conservation
Six Senses Fiji reef restoration program, delivered in partnership with Coral Gardeners, continued to expand in both scale and impact throughout 2025.
Key achievements included:
· 31,080 coral fragments growing across three coral nurseries
· 3,912 mature corals outplanted to restore degraded reef areas
· 72% survival rate among outplanted corals
· Introduction of sea temperature monitoring devices to track climate stress and bleaching risk
· Participation of over 500 guests and hosts in reef education and restoration activities
Together, these initiatives contribute to healthier reef systems, stronger fish populations and the long-term resilience of the marine ecosystems that define Fiji’s natural environment.
Protecting the Fijian Crested Iguana
On land, Six Senses Fiji continues to play an important role in protecting the critically endangered Fijian crested iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis), a species found nowhere else in the wild.
In 2025, conservation efforts included:
· 8,800 square metres of protected native dry forest reserve
· 5,500 square metres under active restoration, with over 800 native trees planted
· 1.5 hectares committed for future restoration commencing in early 2026
· 1,053 guests educated about the species and conservation initiatives
Collectively, these efforts will triple available iguana habitat over time, contributing to the long-term survival of this endangered species. Additionally, a major conservation milestone was reached with the successful translocation of 12 Fijian crested iguanas, supporting the establishment of a new secure population.
Guest Engagement & Climate Education
Sustainability at Six Senses Fiji extends beyond behind-the-scenes operations, inviting guests of all ages to engage directly with conservation and climate action during their stay.
In 2025, the resort launched its Climate Warrior Program, a hands-on initiative designed to inspire younger guests to learn about climate change, ecosystems and environmental responsibility in a fun and meaningful way. Tailored to the natural environment of Malolo Island, the program blends play, discovery and real-world action through activities led by the resort’s sustainability and Grow with Six Senses teams.
Children participating in the program explore reef and forest ecosystems, learn about habitat protection for the critically endangered Fijian crested iguana, and take part in practical conservation activities such as tree planting, composting and upcycling. The experience culminates in earning a Climate Warrior Certificate, empowering young guests to take their learnings beyond the island.
Community Engagement
Six Senses Fiji remains deeply committed to supporting community wellbeing across Solevu Village and the wider Mamanuca Islands, with a focus on access to essential services, education, health and livelihoods.
Recent initiatives include:
· Installation of four 10,000-litre water tanks to strengthen access to safe drinking water
· Provision of a solar water pump for Ratu Lalabalavu High School
· Supply of medical equipment to Solevu Health Centre, supporting surrounding island communities
· Support for village clean-up initiatives and school wellness programs
· 34% of resort hosts employed from the local village
Recognising the connection between animal welfare, biodiversity and community health, the resort also supported the launch of a collaborative animal management initiative with Animals Fiji and neighbouring resorts. The program delivers sterilisation initiatives, veterinary care and improved animal welfare across Solevu and Yaro villages.
Looking Ahead
Six Senses Fiji remains committed to building on this progress, with energy, water and waste reduction continuing as operational priorities. On land and at sea, the resort will further expand reforestation efforts and coral and native plant nurseries, strengthening ecosystem resilience for future generations.
At the same time, community partnership will remain central to the resort’s sustainability strategy, with continued investment in education, health support, water security and waste management initiatives that deliver lasting shared value.
Together, these efforts reflect Six Senses Fiji’s belief that luxury hospitality can be a force for positive environmental and social change.
