Sustainability
Zighy Bay takes sustainability seriously and believes that they have a responsibility to help the local environment and communities alike, they have taken part in many initiatives such as tree-planting, beach cleaning and supporting local women to get an education. 80% of the hotels organic and glass waste is re-cycled or up-cycled on site, all bottled water is also produced on site via reverse osmosis, and the salt water filtered out as a result of this process is used in the impressive salt water swimming pool. Produce is sourced locally if possible, from local vendors and also the on site Dibba farm in which fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and milk are produced. The surrounding trees and shrubbery are also irrigated entirely with recycled grey water from the resort, highlighting how the resort benefits its surroundings rather than drawing from it.
