Eco & Environmental Responsibility

November 8, 2022
The Vijitt Resort Phuket

This is a fundamental element of our policies; purchase locally produced products at a suitable quality. During the creation of the resort, every effort was made to keep as many of the existing mature trees as possible; moving the location of some of the villas to accommodate the trees. Therefore if you find you do not have a 180 degree sea view from your villa, be aware that you are helping the world by enjoying the natural view of the azure blue sea mixed with the untainted vivid greens that form part of the ‘native’ Phuket (much of which is being lost on a daily basis as Phuket develops). Keeping these trees also helps protect the natural environment, provides a natural habitat for the indigenous species of animals and birds, helps offset your carbon emissions as you fly to Phuket, and help protect the ozone layer.

In the creation of the operational procedures of the resort, an environmental policy has been developed which will provide a basis for the development of all operational activities, underpinning everything we do.

Some of the practical things that we do in this regard include:

  • No use of CFC based equipment
  • Implementing a recycling policy
  • Implementing a composting program
  • Providing guests with non-intrusive activity options such as batik painting, Thai Cooking classes and Rubber processing
  • Recycling our waste water
  • Developing a water capture system in the resort to use captured rainwater in our irrigation system
  • Minimizing the use of packaging materials
  • Using bio-degradable items and products
  • Using recycled or wood free paper when possible
