SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT

Desa Hay carefully considers everything they do to provide their guests with a truly unique and luxurious experience that gives back to the island and minimizes a travel footprint. They are here to ensure all their activities support the community around them and contribute to the protection and conservation of the nature and wildlife of Bali. Desa Hay was built on a blueprint of ESG and a framework that allows them to give back and create real impact across environmental, social, and governance.

The boutique hotel relies largely on solar energy sources. They contribute to replenishing the water table by sponsoring the construction of recharge wells. Their approach to waste management minimizes food waste, and they prioritize the use of materials that can be recycled and composted. Desa Hay actively engages local staff and contractors, utilizes locally sourced produce and materials, and supports local children through the Desa Hay Scholarship Fund.

Desa Hay pays it forward through workshops, events, and training modules, aiming to provide local operators and developers with insights, skills, and understanding on how to build and operate more sustainably. It holds itself to the highest standards and reports on its impact and footprint with full transparency.
