Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort
This resort has an Ocean Champion Badge from the Oceanic Standard, an international NGO, for its sustainable initiatives such as reducing single-use plastic consumption, food waste management, sustainable food procurement and the use of non-toxic products. The property is the first and only resort in the Middle East to hold this recognition. The onsite Marine Biologist at Jumeirah At Saadiyat Island Resort offers educational sessions and insights on various sustainable practices that can be incorporated into daily life. This is part of the resort team’s overarching goal for its sustainability experiences to live on beyond the guest’s visit. The resort also offers eco tours at nearby Saadiyat mangroves to spot the resident humpback dolphins as well as the critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle in the wild.
