The Racha

Luxury that’s kind to the planet. The Racha embraces sustainable practices: refillable glass bottles, biogas from food waste, local organic toiletries, and solar power. Stay luxuriously, stay sustainably.

The Racha prioritizes sustainable luxury, minimizing their environmental impact through various practices. They use refillable glass water bottles, convert food waste into biogas for cooking, and source organic toiletries in ceramic dispensers. Their villas are built for energy efficiency, and a solar-diesel hybrid station generates half their daily electricity needs. By adhering to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle principles, The Racha demonstrates a commitment to preserving the island’s paradise for future guests.

Highlight

Reduced plastic use: They have a drinking water bottling facility that uses reusable glass bottles instead of plastic.
Bio-gas system: Food waste is cleverly converted into biogas, which is then used for cooking in their staff kitchen.
Locally-sourced toiletries: Their shower and bath amenities are housed in ceramic dispensers instead of wasteful small plastic bottles, and the products themselves are organic and locally sourced.
Energy-efficient villas: The villas are built with double-thick exterior walls to help reduce the reliance on air conditioning, lowering energy consumption.
Solar power: The resort utilizes a half-acre 250 kWp Solar-Diesel Hybrid Station that generates up to 50% of their daily electricity needs. This significantly cuts down on their carbon footprint, reducing emissions by an estimated 24% or 1,500 Kg per day.
Waste management: The Racha adheres to the 3Rs of waste management: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
