Royal Phuket Marina Continues to Set the Gold Standard for "Green Luxury" with the Second Consecutive Year of Carbon-Neutral Certification

Royal Phuket Marina (RPM) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone, securing its carbon-neutral certification for the second consecutive year from the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). This remarkable accomplishment underscores the marina's commitment to sustainability and pioneering role as Asia's first and only carbon-neutral marina. More than just a luxury destination, RPM is redefining the concept of Green Luxury, where high-end experiences seamlessly meet eco-conscious living.

Leading the Charge in Sustainable Innovation

Powered by renewable energy, RPM has implemented a range of innovative green practices designed to protect the environment while delivering world-class luxury. Solar panels now power up to 38% of the marina's daily energy requirements, making it a shining example of renewable energy integration. The marina also uses cutting-edge, solar-powered Seabin V5 technology, which captures up to 48 kg of floating debris and microplastics from the marina basin daily. With a commitment to conservation, the marina goes a step further by utilizing a rainwater collection system for boat cleaning, reducing dependency on municipal water supplies.

In addition, the newly installed solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) chargers mean visitors can now conveniently power up their vehicles using 100% renewable energy, further cementing RPM's role as a trailblazer in environmental stewardship.

A Philosophy of Green Luxury

At the heart of RPM's sustainability efforts is a deep commitment to environmental preservation and delivering an unforgettable luxury experience. As RPM's Chairman, Mr. Gulu Lalvani, explains, "We are not just the premier destination for maritime enthusiasts. We are setting a new benchmark for sustainable luxury in the marine industry. Our green initiatives don't just help preserve our planet; they enrich our guests' experience, creating lasting memories in an extraordinary setting."

In addition, Mr. Lalvani is known for much more. In February 2004, he successfully lobbied the Prime Minister of Thailand to reduce yacht import taxes from over 200% to zero. This significant tax cut boosted the marine industry by increasing imports and business for yacht services. Mr. Lalvani then initiated the construction of the award-winning Royal Phuket Marina, promoting Phuket into a thriving yachting destination, turning Phuket into Asia's Yachting & Boating Paradise, and attracting visiting yachts from around the world.

RPM is redefining what luxury means in the 21st century, combining exceptional service, exclusive facilities, and innovative eco-conscious solutions. Whether it's the stunning oceanfront villas with private berths for yachts, world-class dining, or the lush open spaces, sustainability is interwoven into every aspect of the guest experience.

Sustainability Meets Community Engagement

RPM's commitment extends beyond its operations. Through a variety of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, it is actively raising environmental awareness in the local community.

In partnership with organizations such as the Mae Fah Luang Foundation, the marina is part of a nationwide effort to promote Zero-Waste initiatives and engage in environmental education. The marina also hosts educational seminars and environmental clean-up days, encouraging guests and locals alike to contribute to a cleaner, greener world.

More Than a Marina - A Commitment to a Greener Future

RPM has earned prestigious accolades, including the Yacht Harbour Association's 5 Gold Anchor Certification and the Marina Industries Association's International Clean Marina Award. These awards testify to its continuous growth in luxury hospitality while maintaining sustainable practices. As the only marina in Thailand to achieve these honors, RPM is a model for both luxury and environmental stewardship.

General Manager Mr. Sunny Sandhu explains, "The future of luxury lies in sustainability. RPM is proud to lead the way in this evolution, constantly exploring new ways to minimize our carbon footprint while offering our guests the very best. This isn't just a business model—it's a philosophy that will guide us into the future."

A Sustainable Legacy

As RPM continues innovating and inspiring, it remains dedicated to reducing its environmental impact while contributing to the local economy and community. Its relentless drive to integrate sustainability into every facet of its operation ensures that it will remain a beacon of Green Luxury for years to come.
