Sustainability & Stewardship
Protecting paradise for generations to come
Nestled on Praslin Island, Raffles Seychelles stands as a beacon of environmental stewardship in one of the world's most breathtaking tropical destinations. As the caretakers of this island paradise, the resort has made sustainability a core pillar of its operations, implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce its ecological footprint and protect the natural wonders that draw visitors from across the globe. We believe that true sustainability involves engaging our guests as active participants in preserving the natural wonders of the Seychelles. From hands-on activities to educational experiences, we invite our visitors to become stewards of this island paradise alongside our dedicated team.
Our commitments
We honor our connection with the Seychelles community—past, present, and future. Our chefs cultivate thriving garden habitats that supply fresh ingredients for our menus and culinary classes in the most sustainable way possible. Meanwhile, our mixology team crafts cocktails that reduce waste, blending creativity with eco-consciousness.
Reef Restoration
Snorkelling the vibrant waters off the beach, you'll witness the remarkable coral rehabilitation initiative we've spearheaded in partnership with Nature Seychelles. This included the construction of coral nurseries and a guest snorkelling trail. You can join our staff and the marine experts from the NGO in maintaining the coral nurseries and even participate in planting new coral fragments, playing a vital role in restoring the health of these delicate ecosystems. The project is expanding to more than 200 artificial reef frames in 2024 to promote reef life in the area. Marine experts together with our on-site team carries out monitoring sessions to assess the success of the restoration and health of the reef
Think Outside the Bottle
Water scarcity is a global challenge, and at Raffles Seychelles, we’re committed to sustainable solutions. Our Water Purification Project not only minimizes plastic waste but also preserves the island’s limited resources. By introducing a five-stage filtration system and glass bottling on-site, we’ve reduced our dependency on external water sources and prevented the use of over 260,000 plastic bottles, saving more than 130,000 kg of plastic. Drawing pure mountain water from our own land, this initiative enables us to provide a refreshing, eco-friendly experience for our guests, all while safeguarding Seychelles' pristine natural beauty.
Goodbye Single-use Plastic
In 2019, our resort took a stand to reduce and then stop the use of disposable plastics on the island. Today, there is almost zero single-use plastic on-site. Each year, more than 50 billion plastic water bottles are used across the globe, up to 8.3 billion plastic straws are scattered around the world’s beaches, and there are more than 270,000 tons of plastic floating at sea. In 2022, we proudly sponsored the Aldabra Clean-Up Project in 2022, which collected 25,000 tonnes of plastic on the island’s beaches. Our villas feature plastic-free amenities and you can explore our boutique featuring stylish products made from recycled materials, such as fishing nets and sails.
Protecting Nature's Wonders
At Raffles Seychelles, we’re dedicated to preserving the vibrant local ecosystem. Partnering with conservation groups like TRASS (Terrestrial Restoration Action Society Seychelles), we protect the unique flora and fauna that define the Seychelles, ensuring future generations can enjoy the islands’ natural beauty. As you explore our grounds, you’ll find an array of endemic and indigenous plants restored after years of deforestation and coastal damage from past fires. We’ve since embarked on a mission to replant and renew, adding over 200 endemic plants on-site and contributing to more than 1,000 mangrove restorations. Guests are invited to join our efforts, planting new trees and learning about the importance of Seychelles' natural heritage
Farm To Table
Savor the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients at our restaurants, where each dish connects you to the farmers and fishermen who bring the Seychelles’ flavors to life. These authentic culinary experiences celebrate the island’s rich food culture and highlight our dedication to sustainable, community-focused sourcing. While some essential ingredients are sourced internationally due to the island’s limited availability, we prioritize working with local suppliers whenever possible, ensuring that each meal reflects the true essence of Seychelles.
Reducing Emissions
At Raffles Seychelles, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a priority, and we’ve incorporated renewable solar energy for water heating to significantly reduce our carbon footprint, exemplifying sustainable hospitality. By the end of 2025, we aim to transition fully to renewable energy for all operations, further enhancing our environmental stewardship. Paired with energy-efficient lighting and appliances, these initiatives underscore our dedication to harmonizing luxury with sustainability.
Sustainable Certifications
We're proud to demonstrate our dedication to responsible hospitality by seeking eco-certification from both local and international standards and certification organisations.
Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Label
The Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Label (SSTL) is a dedicated certification program crafted to promote sustainable tourism within Seychelles. Voluntary and user-friendly, SSTL encourages businesses to adopt more efficient and eco-conscious practices, inspiring a new standard for sustainable hospitality in harmony with the island's unique environment.
