Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An, Vietnam

The resort is deeply rooted in sustainability, committed to minimizing its environmental impact and embracing responsible practices. Initiatives include the elimination of single-use plastics, use of bamboo straws, refillable bath amenities, and an on-site water filtration and bottling plant that eliminates over 420,000 plastic bottles annually. Food waste is converted into compost for the on-site herb and vegetable gardens, which supply ingredients to restaurants, bars, and the spa. They follow a farm-to-table approach, sourcing local and sustainable produce, including cage-free eggs and ethically sourced coffee/tea with Rainforest Alliance Certification. The resort also supports local biodiversity, conducts daily beach cleaning, uses native plants in landscaping, and utilizes solar-powered water heaters for villas and hydroelectric power throughout the resort. Eco-tours, educational programs, and a 'Young Guardians of the Earth' kids' program foster environmental awareness.
