Designed for the conscious traveller, Desa Hay’s spacious and luxurious villas are nestled within lush, private gardens. The bespoke resort is carefully designed to reflect the spirit of the island and provides a deep feeling of tranquility, wellness and harmony with nature. Customized minibars, playlists and amenities complete the sense of modern luxury.
At Desa Hay, conscious travel and sustainable luxury are the leading ideas behind every experience. A circular infrastructure and eco-design have been created across the property, local fresh ingredients are sourced for the private restaurant 'Ijo' and recyclable / reusable quality amenities are available in the villas.
"We carefully consider everything we do to provide our guests with a truly unique and luxurious experience that gives back to the island and minimizes a travel footprint.
We are here to ensure all our activities support the community around us and contribute to the protection and conservation of the nature and wildlife of Bali. We built Desa Hay on a blueprint of ESG and created a framework that allows us to give back and create real impact across environmental, social and governance."
"Our energy comes largely from solar. We return water in the water table by sponsoring the building of recharge wells. Our food waste is minimized, and we largely use materials that can be recycled and composted."
"We employ local staff and contractors, use local produce and materials and support local children through our Desa Hay Scholarship Fun."
"We pay it forward through workshops, events, and training modules to help provide local operators and developers with insights, skills and understanding on how to build and operate more sustainably. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and report on our impact and our footprint with full transparency."
LOOKING AT SUSTAINABILITY IN 4 AREAS
Solar electricity (4,500 kwh/month), solar hot water, use of carbon offsets to reduce Desa Hay’s carbon footprint (for construction and on-going operations), energy switches, LED lighting.
Recharge wells, land use (30-40% of land was intentionally not built on), all water is treated and tested monthly, so it is drinkable, water waste processing, Sequenced Batched Reactor System in place.
Every amenity in Desa Hay is assessed for plastic content and how it can be minimized, food waste redirection, recycling with Eco Bali, Composting with Urban Compost, locally sourced products, and suppliers that align our values.
Desa Hay Scholarship Fund, hiring Indonesian companies and people to develop local talent, sustainability education to guests and employees, sponsoring local organizations like IDEP to assist local community education, participation in Eco/Sustainability groups to promote practices and education.
"We believe that if it is not measured, nothing will change, so we will produce annual reports that document and measure our progress around sustainability."
