LOS ANGELES, California – “We are enthusiastic about making our hospitality business more environmentally-friendly,” said Mr. Eka Dilaga, Resort Manager at the Samaya Seminyak Resort in Bali. “The core values at the Samaya Bali include our commitment to conserve resources, preserve natural habitats and prevent pollution, to act with integrity and improve our customer’s lives, while supporting the community in which we operate.”
The Samaya Seminyak Bali offers award-winning quintessential chic, paired with an outstanding sustainability program. This leading luxury boutique hotel is a top performing Green Globe member, and recently earned re-certification.
“We are adopting best practices and building a culture that continuously strives to improve and sustain our positive environmental results over time,” added Eka Dilaga.
Environmental considerations are an important aspect for preserving the natural and cultural heritage of Bali, allowing guests at the Samaya Seminyak Resort an authentic local experience. The resort integrated local partnerships within the community to raise awareness for positive environmental change. Samaya works closely with a number of local institutions and programs, such as an orphanage called Chloe House in Tabanan, by providing living materials, resources, and food. The property supports their local Desa’s Lingkungan, Basangkasa, kehlurahan Seminyak, Kecamatan Kuta with their local programs for the needy and donation of non-used materials. Guests are invited to learn about the rich cultural heritage and participate in temple tours, simple Balinese Hindu educational lectures and traditional food tasting.
The Samaya Bali is doing its part to sustain a healthy balance of natural resources on the island of Bali. As an innovative community partner, Samaya is leading by example – showing local communities what corporate social responsibility should look like. The Samaya Bali is an active member of “Clean Seminyak” and fully supports the “Eco Bali” program. Beach clean-ups are organized by the hotel’s Green Team on a regular basis.
In addition, the resort contributes to ongoing local charities, such as “Yayasan Lengis Hijau,” a unique foundation that recycles used cooking oil in a sustainable manner and transforms it into biodiesel.
