KOH PHI PHI, THAILAND - Zeavola Resort, located on Koh Phi Phi in Thailand has scooped
the global prize for the World's Best Sustainable Boutique Hotel at the World Boutique Hotels
Awards ceremony in London recently.
The exclusive black tie event was held at Montcalm Hotel, Marble Arch and represented resorts
globally who have won country specific awards in various categories, to see if they won a wider
regional or global award, a decision that was made at the gala ceremony.
"It was Zeavola's night," said General Manager Florian Hallermann. "All the team have worked
tremendously hard and I am very proud of them all. This is for them," he said.
"We operate on an island and we need to live sustainably, close to nature and to theenvironment. For us it is not an option to operate otherwise. But, it is important we worksmartly and cherish our natural resources and at the same time deliver a five-star barefoot
luxury experience to guests."

Zeavola Resort's commitment to the environment and sustainability

Located on the shores of Laem Ton beach, Zeavola is built around a sustainability ethos, with features
such as a water reserve system which includes four deep wells and a reverse osmosis plant to minimise2unnecessary water consumption at the resort - efforts which have earned the resort a membership in theinternational 'green' hotels group Green Pearls.
The resort was also recently awarded the PADI Green Star Award, for outstanding contribution to theenvironment through the resort's project Coral Freedom.
This is a project focussed on reversing the devastating effects of coral bleaching, a consequence of highcarbon footprints and increasing global warming, and have so far seen over 10,000 coral fragments
replanted around Phi Phi that were regenerated in Zeavola's coral nursery.
Zeavola is also part of the Green Fins project, which is coordinated by the United Nations Environmental
Programme as part of a global effort to increase public awareness, and resort management practices thatwill benefit the conservation of coral reefs and reduce unsustainable tourism practices.
