Every day


Greening at the Peace


is earth day


Ayada Maldives has been awarded the Green Star Diamond Award from The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences in recognition of their commitment to environmental responsibility.


‘Every day is earth day’ is the mantra of this stunning hotel, located in a breathtaking location where the rising sea level is increasingly evident. The hotel has recently installed a water purification system that will also supply chilled still and sparkling water, saving on the disposal of about 100,000 glass and plastic bottles each year.


Hotel Manager Emre Pasli comments:


“This is only one small step towards protecting our fragile environment and more environmental friendly measures will follow. It is of the utmost importance to us to show that luxury


and environmental responsibility fit together.”

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts was founded on an enduring connection to the land and the communities in which it has a presence. In real terms, Fairmont’s greenhouse gas reduction to date is equivalent to removing 6,263 vehicles from the road.


The Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai has now introduced a Greening at Peace programme, donating trees to offset guests' travel emissions and create a positive impact on the environment.


For each guest who stays with the Greening at Peace room package, Fairmont Peace Hotel will donate 10 trees on behalf of the guest - including planting and maintenance of the trees for 10 years - in the desert lands


of Inner Mongolia.
