Sustainability can sound like a big concept, something reserved for policy documents and long-term strategies.

But at a resort, it often becomes real through small, repeated moments:

the room key card you carry
the cup you drink from
the way you arrive and recharge
the everyday choices that quietly add up

At Living Water Resorts, reducing our footprint is part of our Green Promise, and part of how we continue to improve the guest experience while caring for the environment around us. As we move into 2026, we remain committed to making thoughtful changes that balance comfort, convenience, and care for our surroundings.

What does “reducing our footprint” mean at Living Water Resorts?

It means replacing high-waste items with lower-impact alternatives, expanding infrastructure that supports cleaner travel, and rethinking guest amenities to reduce single-use plastics without compromising the comfort and quality our guests expect.

The key to change: from plastic to wooden keycards

A card features a scenic resort by water with boats and a blue sky. Text reads: "Living Water Resorts" and "Your Destination Vacation Within Reach."

It’s one of the first touch points of your stay: check-in.

We’ve replaced traditional plastic keycards with eco-friendly wooden keycards, a reusable, low-impact alternative designed to significantly reduce single-use plastic waste.

It’s a simple swap with meaningful volume behind it because when you welcome thousands of guests, small material choices quickly become big impact.

Charge up to drive clean: EV charging by the Bay

Travel is evolving, and we want to make it easier for guests to explore responsibly.

Living Water Resorts is an official Tesla & Porsche Destination Charging Partner, with 7 EV chargers currently in place.

For guests, that means your getaway can include the convenience of charging where you’re already staying.

Choices to reduce our impact: reimagining spa details

At Living Shore Spa, relaxation comes with a clear conscience because we’ve redesigned small details to reduce waste without compromising the feeling of luxury.

Our eco‑touches include:

100% biodegradable cups (for teas, elixirs, and water) made from corn
Complimentary biodegradable swimsuit bags
A commitment to zero single-use plastics in guest amenities

This is sustainability the way we like it: thoughtful, practical, and integrated into the guest experience.

Always improving: sustainability as an ongoing practice

We recognize the importance of doing our part to decrease carbon footprints, invest in eco-friendly products, and continue looking for innovative ways to support conservation.

Reducing our footprint isn’t “one and done.” It’s continuous improvement and finding the next meaningful swap, the next smarter system, the next step forward.
