LEED buildings save
energy, water, resources, generate less waste and support human health. Given
the increasing demand and pace of green building in the hospitality sector,
LEED is an official recognition that a project complies with the requirements
prescribed within the LEED rating systems by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Having achieved the Gold level certification from the most widely used green
building rating system reiterates the sustainability commitment of Aitken
Spence Hotels group.
"Our strategies to
expand are led by guests expectations and design-led refurbishments to enrich
the experience at our properties. A key priority is to ensure our resorts
contribute positively to protect and preserve the environment and the
ecosystems we operate in. We are proud that we were able to introduce the
Heritance brand to the Maldives as the first LEED Gold certified property in
the islands," commented Ms. Stasshani Jayawardena, Aitken Spence PLC Director,
Head of Tourism & Leisure, and Chairperson of Aitken Spence Hotels
Management.
"I give credit to the
team that has worked tirelessly and conducted extensive research and integrated
innovative and sustainable strategies to reduce the carbon and water footprint
by 30% and 55% respectively," she asserted. "These have been successfully
implemented and have aided in creating a healthier and safer working
environment while maximising guest comfort. These strategies I believe, have
contributed towards achieving this milestone for Heritance Aarah."
Operating as a premier
all-inclusive resort, Heritance Aarah consists of 150 villas including 26
intimate luxury duplex ocean suites, 56 sunset ocean villas and 68 land villas
ranging from beach villas to pool beach villas, family beach villas and family
pool beach villas. Designed to inspire and custom-built to immerse guests in
the scenic sights and soothing sounds of the ocean surrounding the island,
Heritance Aarah is adorned with earthly hues and vibrant blues.
