Jumeirah Group Joins the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance for a More Responsible Future

Jumeirah Group Joins the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance for a More Responsible Future

United Arab Emirates, Dubai, January 2023: Jumeirah Group has become the newest member of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, joining forces with other world-leading hotel brands and partners to address key challenges and collectively accelerate towards a more responsible industry.

Operating a range of initiatives spanning both the environment and community engagement, the luxury hospitality leader and member of Dubai Holding is bolstering its commitment to sustainability through this partnership. Its eco initiatives include working to eliminate single-use plastics, beginning with the removal of plastic straws and transitioning to sustainable packaging across their properties and restaurants. In addition, the Group has begun to roll out onsite water bottling and filtration systems providing guests with safe bottled drinking water in glass or reusable bottles and preventing over nine million single-use plastic bottles from reaching landfills and the ocean per year.

Jumeirah Group has also played a pivotal role in protecting biodiversity through the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project, releasing 2,050 rehabilitated turtles back to their natural habitat since its inception in 2004, combined with free environmental education programmes for school children. Other initiatives include setting up an on-site hydroponic farm to supply fresh produce to their restaurants which uses 70% less water per yield, and implementing innovative food tech systems to not only help reduce waste but also convert the waste to fertiliser for local use.

The Group is also focused on gender equality and community engagement. Through its partnership with Evolvin Women, it invites female placements from developing nations and provides training to build the skillsets for successful hospitality careers in their home countries, raising the economic potential within their own communities. The company, which recently appointed Katerina Giannouka as its first female CEO, also has robust corporate governance, combined with learning and development programmes, to support equal opportunity, gender parity, equal pay and other indicators of gender equality.

By joining the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, Jumeirah Group has become part of the world’s leading responsible hospitality network, which brings together 40% of the industry by rooms along with strategic and supply chain partners to create shared solutions for environmental and social challenges. Their work includes climate action, water stewardship and responsible resourcing, alongside human rights, employability and equity, diversity and inclusion.

Thomas B. Meier, Chief Operating Officer of Jumeirah Group said: “Jumeirah Group is committed to identifying and co-creating new ways to incorporate sustainable and inclusive practices across our business ecosystem, to shape the best possible future where everyone can thrive. The hospitality industry touches many communities and industries worldwide, and we believe we have the opportunity with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance to bring about transformative change, by working alongside our industry peers and finding practical solutions that will ultimately set the foundations for long term value creation and sustainable growth.”

 

Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, added: “Each new member brings a unique perspective and set of experiences which complement our existing community of responsible businesses, which enables us to better support the wider hotel industry around the world – at all stages of their sustainability journeys. We are delighted to welcome Jumeirah Group to the Alliance and look forward to their insights and contribution as, together, we support the industry to achieve net positive hospitality.”

Enjoy an idyllic Mediterranean escape at Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa

Mallorca, 2021: Jumeirah Group will open the doors to its exquisite Mallorcan clifftop retreat, Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa from 10 June 2021, inviting guests to make up for months of missed vacation opportunities with a sun-soaked Mediterranean summer to remember.

Set high above Port Soller overlooking the picturesque fishing village, on the edge of the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca, Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa is a breath-taking sanctuary in which to enjoy Jumeirah’s renowned hospitality and lose yourself in the land of romance and vitality. Offering panoramic views over the azure Mediterranean waters, its elegant rooms and suites, featuring works by revered local artist Toni Garau, offer the perfect setting in which to enjoy exceptional comfort and Jumeirah’s service beyond expectations. Guests can choose from a variety of sea and mountain facing options, from airy rooms for laid-back living to the split-level Lighthouse Suite with a private terrace and the Mar Blau Villa with its own pool and terraces. Stylish and tranquil, the hotel’s accommodation offers generous space and ample opportunity to enjoy an insta-worthy Mallorcan sunrise.

In line with Jumeirah’s commitment to offering extraordinary culinary experiences, Jumeirah Port Soller & Spa is home to a collection of exceptional restaurants and lounges. These include Cap Roig Brasserie, that has been transformed into a Marisqueria featuring locally inspired seafood dishes served on an open-air terrace overlooking the hotel’s show-stopping views, while the Sunset Lounge serves Asian inspired delicacies against the backdrop of the majestic Tramuntana mountains.

The perfect setting to relax, rejuvenate and switch off from daily life, guests can discover the benefits of wellness with an array of yoga and exercise classes as well as treatments at the hotel’s award-winning Talise Spa using all-natural products from leading skincare brand Sodashi. These include the Crystalus Body Massage, the Samadara Age-defying and Brightening Marine Facial and Pure Radiance Facial. Led by new Spa Manager Joana Martins, who brings years of expertise from roles with renowned brands across the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, the clifftop spa offers guests a private consultation in which a bespoke and personalised experience is then curated, fusing ancient healing philosophies with the finest products and customised therapies. One such treatment is a five-day detox programme designed to break down accumulated toxins and aid the treatment of cellulite and fluid retention.


There is also the state-of-the-art Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, where guests can channel their inner tennis champion and learn from the professionals. Tennis enthusiasts will also enjoy the Academy’s exhibition that charts the champion’s career and showcases his trophies, racquets and other memorabilia.

Gianluca Priori, General Manager of Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa, said: “We are delighted to welcome guests to Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa for the highly anticipated Summer season. Our breathtaking cliffside location offers an incredible setting for guests to switch off, reconnect with loved ones and have a truly enriching summer escape away from the stress of daily life. We have eagerly awaited this moment and look forward to enticing our guests with our unique dining offering and new local experiences.”

Jumeirah Port Soller & Spa was recently named The Best Resort in Spain from the internationally recognised Condé Nast Traveler Gold Awards for 2021, and won the Best Sustainability and Hotel Rehabilitation Projects Executed by Habitat Futura Group and TSMEDIA, recognising the hotel’s role in preserving the cultural heritage of the destination. As part of its array of enriching guest activities, the hotel will offer a series of engaging outdoor workshops in which local artisans will bring crafts such as ceramics, basketry, dance and art to life, sharing techniques that have been passed down through the generations.

Cementing Jumeirah Group’s position as a luxury hospitality leader in Spain, the hotel’s extensive offerings and experiences have earned it several prestigious awards over the past years, including the title of Europe’s Leading Hotel & Spa, Spain’s Leading Hotel and Spain’s Leading Hotel Suite: The Mar Blau Villa, at the World Travel Awards 2021. It was also recognised at the 2020 British Airways Holidays Awards, securing a rating of over nine points, and in 2019, was a Silver Badge winner, placing #24 in the Mallorca destination category at the U.S. News & World Report Best Hotel Rankings.

Beyond the walls of the hotel, guests can explore Serra de Tramuntana, the impressive mountain range that was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2011, or take a day trip to Palma to discover the local history via its Roman ruins and sand-coloured churches. Alternatively, guests can take a stroll through the cobbled streets, stopping off at Palma’s upscale boutiques to check out the season’s must-have collections or pick up souvenirs from local markets for lasting memories of their trip.
