Before the inception of Salinda Resort, we knew that we wanted to create a hotel that breathes and operates in an eco-friendly way, something that lies in our core values. By using environmentally friendly materials in our design, our Salinda Family wishes to encourage the idea that hospitality can be durable, stylish, and sustainable at the same time.
Our landscape is designed to set up a dialogue between you and the nature. Fostering such an interaction through mindful observation, you will be able to experience an immersive soulful restoration throughout your stay. To compliment natural surroundings of Phu Quoc forests, Salinda dedicated over 70% of the resort’s land to lavish green gardens. Around 100 types of trees and flowers embrace multi-level structure, creating a home to native birds and butterflies while maintaining healthy soil ecosystems. Tall palm trees in between Salinda’s infinity pool and the beaming ocean creates a filter which naturally removes salt from the air, making the summer breeze that passes through the resort fresh and clean.
But clean air and cool environment aren’t the only benefits we get from our ravishing landscape. During the harvesting season, our garden graciously offers us freshly harvested mangoes, coconuts, milk fruits, rose apples and bananas that we use in our exceptional Sparkling Breakfast buffet.
Even in the darkest hours of the day, Salinda can bring light into your life with LED lights. Over 90 % of the light source in the resort comes from these eco-friendly bulbs which are designed to cut 4 out of 5 parts of energy consumption as opposed to regular lights. The light bulb itself doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or materials and it doesn’t generate heat (only light), which is why it won’t interrupt the coolness of evening breezes during warm island nights.
Tired of dry skin, damaged hair, and red eyes? You can kiss those troubles goodbye with Salinda’s innovative salt-filtration technology of the pool – it purifies the water by substituting traditional industrial chlorine with ionized one extracted from natural salts. As such, the pool leaves aside chlorine and other chemical products which are harmful to the environment, making it eco-friendly and fun at the same time!
All the natural light from guest rooms to our restaurants is carried through Schueco windows. These soundproof windows are made of aluminum with low U values, therefore making a considerable contribution to the positive eco-balance of a building. It’s mechanical robustness and corrosion resistance during monsoon season guarantee a long life and therefore a high degree of sustainability.
Sometimes you feel like resting in the cool air of your room and chill down from the hot tropical weather. Salinda aims to provide this comfort to you whilst staying responsible to the environment. The Daikin air-conditioner used in every room and restaurant has developed an eco-friendly technology which makes it more energy efficient and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 32%, while providing a precise temperature chosen by the guests.
All rocks are special, whether they are diamonds, rubies, emeralds, or even rocks that decorate the walls of Salinda. These Hoa Vang rocks - originally from mountains of Central Vietnam and carefully hand carved in a famous craft village of Da Nang - are precious because they are 100%. But most importantly, the rocky walls absorb heat, which along with lush landscape adds to the cooling effect of the entire resort and creates Salinda’s very own microclimate.
Keeping our environment clean is important, and so is keeping our bodies clean! Salinda helps you go on with your daily bath routine whilst remaining sustainable and conserving water. The Hansgrohe mixers and showers are fitted with EcoSmart technology that require up to 60% less water than conventional models without sacrificing effect or comfort. So now you can be squeaky clean and eco green!
As our design philosophy is focused on the importance of nature, natural materials were incorporated throughout the resort, such as the most sustainable wood in the world – Accoya. The production of this wood uses renewable resources and requires little energy, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The wood itself absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing its carbon footprint and remaining CO2 negative during its full life cycle.
