AYANA Bali Awarded EarthCheck Gold Certification for Excellence in Sustainable Hospitality
A milestone achievement marking five years of verified sustainability, community empowerment, and eco-leadership.
Bali, Indonesia
November 3, 2025
AYANA Bali has been awarded the EarthCheck Gold Certification, a milestone that reflects the integrated resort destination’s long-term commitment to sustainability, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship across its 90-hectare estate overlooking Jimbaran Bay. EarthCheck is one of the world’s leading scientific benchmarking, certification, and advisory groups for sustainable travel and tourism.
The Gold Certification is awarded to organizations that demonstrate five or more consecutive years of independent, science-based sustainability performance across key operational areas. This remarkable achievement reflects AYANA Bali’s consistent efforts to operate responsibly while setting a benchmark for sustainable luxury tourism in Indonesia. With this recognition, AYANA Bali joins an elite group of just seven properties on the island to achieve Gold EarthCheck certification or higher.
This distinction carries particular significance given AYANA’s scale and complexity. With 993 rooms, the resort encompasses multiple hotels and residences, 30 restaurants, and over 17 event venues, making its sustainability achievements all the more remarkable. Operating at this magnitude means every decision has a tangible impact, demonstrating that long-term environmental accountability can coexist with world-class luxury and guest comfort.
Sustainability is woven into every aspect of AYANA Bali’s operations, from energy and water management to waste reduction, community partnerships, and cultural preservation. Combining innovation with tradition, the resort creates tangible environmental impact while honoring Bali’s enduring harmony with nature.
Among the many initiatives contributing to AYANA Bali’s EarthCheck Gold Certification is the AYANA Food Waste Loop, which converts organic waste into livestock feed for local farmers, while used cooking oil is donated to Green School Bali for BioBus fuel and soap-making. Recyclables such as plastics and aluminum are processed through certified vendors. In 2024, AYANA eliminated 32 tons of plastic waste by introducing refillable amenity bottles, reusable glass water bottles, recycled paper packaging, and wooden key cards.
