How are we Green?
This is the how:
Construction of Kuta EcoStay
- Double brick walls – for better insulation and sound proofing
- Toilets – bio-septic sewerage system so the effluent is acceptable to recycle into drains with no negative environmental impact. Naturally occurring safe bacteria treat the wastewater through a system of underground tanks and literally eat up the waste leaving grey water that is safe to discharge
- 3 m high ceilings – for good air circulation and cooler rooms
- Ceiling fans – in every room as an alternative to the ACs in each guest room
- Glass blocks – built into the walls to give natural light in every guest room
- Bamboo – our panorama rooftop area for guests to use and chill out is made from bamboo
- Awnings and canopies – used to allow ventilation through the central atrium which divides the North and South wings which gives shade, fresh air and a feeling of space
- Roofing – made from durable water proof roofing sheets with insulation bats underneath
- Minimalism – room sizes are sufficient without feeling cramped for two persons with a queen sized double bed in each guest room
- Green Building Code – Kuta EcoStay has been constructed based on the Green Building Code for insulation, energy efficiency, water conservation and reusable building materials.
Our Operations
- Bed linen – washed by ourselves to avoid harmful chemicals used by the commercial laundries
- Garbage – bins strategically located to separate the rubbish into plastic, cans, paper and organic
- Energy saving – long lasting low energy light bulbs used
- Eco – friendly furnishings – made from plantation grown teak wood
- Amenities – ultra modern but not opulent or luxurious, such as our stainless steel rain showers in every WC
- Outside shower – when you return to Kuta EcoStay from the beach, shower outside near the fish pond to avoid taking sand into your room and into the bed
Our People
- Staff training – trained in the fourRs: reduce, re-use, retain, recycle
- Eco-policies – shaped towards sustainability and environmental stewardship to create a sustainable hospitality industry in Bali
- Ownership – we the proprietors are a semi-retired couple with an eco-conscience who are concerned that we all need to do more to ensure Bali remains pristine by setting an example, one small step at a time.
Our Bali Community
- Support of the Arts – we support local talented artists; take a look at the paintings in every guest room
- Support of Charities – we support the Gift of Happiness Foundation which brings a smile to children in this region( see their website on our homepage)
- Balinese entrance – we face a temple so we want to make sure our entrance and outside wall blend in with the local community
- Buy Local – we buy locally made items and produce and employ local people
- Location – we are in the heart of Kuta, just 500m to the beach so no need for taxis and other fuel guzzlers.
Above are just some of the “green” initiatives at Kuta EcoStay. Come and stay and learn more about many of our other efficient, cost-effective and often simple eco-policies which we have adopted!We welcome your carbon cutting ideas and green initiatives so we can further reduce your Kuta EcoStay carbon footprint.
