Our sustainability commitment
Since its launch in July 2019, InterContinental Hayman Island Resort’s journey has been intrinsically linked to its exquisite surrounds and the safeguarding and protection of these is at the forefront of the resort’s sustainability commitment.
Guests are exclusively supplied with reef-safe sunscreen, namely environmentally-friendly Australian owned We Are Feel Good Inc. products and receive a complimentary, reusable water bottle upon check-in reinforcing the island’s ban on single-use plastics. Water bottles are able to be refilled from the multiple still filtered water stations placed conveniently across the resort. The resort’s Planet Trekkers Kids Club is built around reef education, while conference groups are encouraged to explore adding Marine Biologist speakers to their itinerary, or taking seven-minute speedboat rides to Blue Pearl Bay to admire underwater reef installations set up to aid coral growth.

In addition, the resort has implemented a unique glass-to-sand crusher which recycles glass bottles for use in maintaining pathways and installed two organic composters to convert waste into naturederived irrigation in all the resort’s tropical lanais. Meanwhile, the resort’s 168 rooms, suites, villas and residences have become eco-friendly with the introduction of in-room iPads in lieu of paper-heavy printed compendiums, and have each been fitted with state-of-the-art energy conservation technology.
