InterContinental Phuket Resort by IHG is a luxury sanctuary on Kamala Beach, Thailand, where world-class hospitality intertwines with a deep loyalty to environmental responsibility. Recognized as one of Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ TOP 100 Sustainable Hotels & Resorts for 2025, the resort sets a strong example of how premium travel experiences can support both nature and local communities through meaningful, measurable action.
Sustainability is embedded into the resort’s daily operations through innovative waste, water, and energy management systems. A key initiative is the Oklin food composter, which transforms kitchen waste into organic fertilizer within 24 hours, significantly reducing landfill impact while supporting on-site landscaping. The resort also promotes awareness through internal and guest-focused engagement, including its “Zero Food Waste Week” campaign, encouraging responsible consumption and smarter waste reduction practices.
InterContinental Phuket Resort also takes active leadership in ocean protection. Through the Proud Kamala Project, the resort funds full-time beach cleaning across the 3-kilometer Kamala Beach, ensuring long-term care of the coastline. In partnership with Oceans For All, it sponsors License to Clean 001, Thailand’s first solar-powered eco-catamaran capable of collecting up to 300 kg of marine debris daily from Kamala Bay, helping preserve marine biodiversity and enhance Phuket’s natural beauty for future generations.
In addition, the resort’s culinary outlets Jaras and Hom, champion hyper-local sourcing while collaborating with WWF Thailand to explore sustainable fine dining innovations, including the use of invasive species to rebalance ecosystems. Educational outreach is also central to its mission through the Planet Guardian Program, inspiring children and guests alike to embrace sustainable habits.
With future goals including expanded renewable energy, stronger water stewardship, and progress toward zero waste to landfill, InterContinental Phuket Resort continues to elevate sustainable luxury hospitality in Asia, proving that true indulgence can also be a force for good.
