CARING FOR VOMO

As well as being a stunning luxury resort with excellent dining and abundant activities, there are other reasons to choose Vomo for your next Fiji holiday — namely its eco-friendly and green initiatives. They include:

Vomo belongs to the Mamanuca Environment Society, an organisation founded in 2001 with the aim of protecting the local marine environment. Guests support the society’s work thanks to a nominal fee of FJ$5 ($3.60) per stay, which is added to the room charge. It’s voluntary and can be removed if guests choose not to participate . . . but really. It is the least we can do to help protect the pristine waters surrounding the island. Give more if you can.

The resort is single-use plastic free. There’s a bottling plant on the island that provides guests with purified drinking water in sterilised, sealed, reusable glass bottles.

Vomo has commissioned its own range of scented soaps and lotions, which are provided in handcrafted ceramic dispensers.

Grey water is collected and recycled, and used on resort grounds.

Lighting has been changed to LED wherever possible, and electric buggies are used to transport goods around the island.

Beaches and waterways are kept clear of stray debris and rubbish with regular clean-up days.

Through the Pack for a Purpose scheme, guests can bring supplies for distribution at local villages and schools in need. Items required include clothing, shoes, linen, books for all ages, educational material and stationery. Items donated will be passed on to the villagers by the Vomo team.
