OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

OUR JOURNEY TO TOMORROW

Since opening in 2021, InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa has been dedicated to sustainability. Our idyllic beachfront resort continuously strives to minimise our environmental footprint by reducing energy, water, and gas consumption, whilst enhancing waste recycling efforts.

Beyond operational practices, we are committed to raising awareness amongst guests, team members, and local communities about the importance of environmental responsibility. Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant marine life, and lush greenery that surround us, we embrace sustainability as a core value, ensuring the island’s beauty thrives for generations to come.

We have earned the VERIFIED™ Responsible Hospitality designation from Forbes Travel Guide — an independent standard that holds properties accountable for their environmental and social impact. This achievement reflects our commitment to best practices that protect the environment and support the wellbeing of our employees, guests, and community, all while maintaining an exceptional guest experience.

PARTNERSHIP WITH RAKTDA

As the Northern Emirates’ landmark resort, we are committed to protecting our environment and community. We proactively identify and mitigate operational impacts through a comprehensive environmental management system aligned with Responsible RAK’s best practices.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Our property has adopted multiple initiatives to optimise waste, including eliminating plastic drinking straws in our restaurants and bars, implementing waste segregation systems, and enhancing solid waste reuse and recycling efforts.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy efficiency is a top priority for us. We have integrated energy-saving technologies, LED lighting, and smart systems to optimise consumption and reduce the resort’s environmental footprint.
