An Eco-Friendly Golden Isles Resort
As responsible stewards of this historic destination, Jekyll Island Club Resort is dedicated to safeguarding the island’s pristine beauty. With LED light bulbs and sensor control panels in guest rooms, low- or zero-VOC paints, energy-efficient technologies for water conservation and initiatives to reduce plastic waste, we make sure that not only is our resort green, but that it’s easy for you to be green, too. We remain deeply committed to sustaining the island’s allure and preserving its bountiful natural resources for the enjoyment and admiration of future generations.
Water Conservation
With more than 75% of low-flow or dual flush toilets, faucets equipped with low-flow aerators and low-flow showerheads, we minimize water consumption without compromising guest comfort. Our dedication extends outdoors, where native or drought-tolerant landscaping reduces irrigation needs, and smart irrigation systems with moisture sensors ensure efficient watering practices.
Diverting Waste from Landfills
To reduce plastic waste, we provide refillable bath and body products in guest bathrooms and have taken steps to replace plastic straws with more environmentally friendly alternatives. Additionally, we’ve made significant strides in reducing single-use plastics throughout the property.
Reduction of Chemicals
When it comes to resort upkeep or any necessary paintwork, we exclusively use low- or zero-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints, finishes and other related items. By choosing these eco-conscious alternatives, we significantly minimize the release of harmful chemicals into the air, benefiting both our guests and the beautiful surroundings of Jekyll Island.
Transportation
The eco-friendly transportation service at Jekyll Wheels allows guests to discover the natural wonders of Jekyll Island along its 20 miles of paved bike paths safely and comfortably, free from the hassle of gas, traffic and parking.
Reducing Food Waste
Recognizing the importance of responsible food management, we actively measure the amount of food waste generated, ensuring transparency and accountability. Over the past year, we have implemented innovative food waste prevention strategies, leveraging sustainable practices to minimize our environmental impact.
Reduced Energy Consumption
By combining energy-efficient technologies, such as digital thermostats, occupancy sensors, variable frequency/speed drives and LED lighting, with detailed monitoring, we strive to create a sustainable environment that maximizes energy efficiency while delivering exceptional guest experiences.
