Sustainable Initiatives

Environmental Responsibility

Banyan Tree AIUIa is a single-use plastic-free property, and around 65 percent of food items are sourced from within Saudi Arabia, with much of the rest coming from neighboring countries. Cooking oil is recycled, water-harvesting technology is used to capture rainwater, and outdoor lighting is run on solar power. Bathroom amenities, made locally in AlUla from the native Peregrina Moringa plant, come in refillable celadon jars.
