Sustainability

At Anantara Iko Mauritius Resorts & Villas we are constantly reinforcing our commitment towards environmental, social, cultural, and sustainable conservation. Below you can find various initiatives that you will experience while visiting Anantara IKO Mauritius.

Water heating feature in the guestrooms are powered by solar energy and we procure energy efficient equipment available. Variable Refrigerant Volume management systems (VRV) are installed, for heat recovery, energy control and energy savings.

Orientation of the rooms are designed in such a way as to maximize natural ventilation and design in wide glazed openings at balconies to encourage natural lighting.

We reduce excessive and unnecessary use of electricity by turning off all unnecessary lights, as well as computers and other electronic appliances when not in use and using air conditioners mindfully. Timings of the lightings are adjusted as per the seasonal changes and laundry operations scheduled as per the hotel occupancy.

Wooden stirrers have replaced our plastic stirrers and guests can now access their rooms by wooden key cards. We encourage our team and guests to reduce their plastic consumption so we can reach our goal of 0% disposable plastic across the resort.

Waste Management

We practice and combat pollution and minimize generated wastes through reduce, reuse, and recycle approach of waste disposal and responsibly source environmental-friendly options. We replace existing products where applicable, for hotel operations. We understand the different types of waste and educate team members as well as disseminate hotel initiatives with our guests. We responsibly dispose solid wastes which impact landfills by cooperating with a local waste management contractor. A composting program is in place for garden waste and for reuse in landscaping.

We purchase products which are durable, repairable, and able to recycle to prevent harm to the environment, save cost and enhance company’s reputation.
