Future wellness: Spas must respect the environment

Spas must respect the environment

While sustainability is a challenge due to the nature of the spa industry, I am keen to see spas making the tough decisions needed to take a more sustainable approach. Not every spa has the luxury of biomass boilers or a reed bed filtration system to reduce their environmental impact like we do at South Lodge, however if everyone starts to make incremental changes for the better, we can really make an impact. South Lodge is part of Exclusive Collection, which is a certified B-Corp. We continue to spearhead sustainability by encouraging a community of consciousness among our colleagues, guests, members and supplier partners.

The running of a spa will always have a negative impact on the environment, but we have a responsibility as industry leaders to make conscious decisions for the better.
