At Ekies All Senses Resort, sustainability is woven into every detail. From repurposing linens into functional items like laundry bags and “Do Not Disturb” signs to irrigating the gardens with treated water from a nearby wastewater plant, the hotel’s sustainable practices are as extensive as they are practical. Eco-conscious design choices, from heat-absorbing locally sourced materials to thoughtfully planted trees, keep the property naturally cool and comfortable. The organic garden provides fresh produce for meals, and guests are invited to connect with nature through immersive experiences like hand-picking vegetables or hiking Mount Itamos. Regular beach clean-up initiatives further reflect the hotel’s deep commitment to protecting the natural environment beyond its walls.

The hotel reuses materials and works with a licensed contractor to collect and transport recyclables. Plastic, glass, metal, paper, and used cooking oils are separated and disposed of responsibly through careful waste management practices. In 2024, the hotel recycled 5.72 tons of materials.
Ekies All Senses Resort irrigates its gardens with treated water from the upgraded wastewater plant. This has significantly cut water use, as gardens make up nearly 50% of the hotel’s total consumption.
During hotel operations, all necessary energy-saving measures are taken to reduce carbon emissions, including LED lights and motion sensors, and energy-efficient new devices. They also reduce energy loads by using natural light, controlling electronic usage, and careful maintenance to optimize savings and support their sustainability goals.
All external materials are designed to absorb heat and reflect sunlight, including stone sourced from Halkidiki and marble from the greater Macedonia region. Specific trees for natural cooling were planted, and the colors used throughout the hotel are also eco-friendly, enhancing sustainability and comfort.
The hotel has its own organic vegetable garden which supplies them with vegetables and edible flowers, and the local market provides local fruit, vegetables, honey, and wine. Meat is sourced from the local butcher.
Staff at all levels are offered training to support in their ongoing development and learning, such as courses on hotel management, ERP systems, and other skills, and waiters are trained by a sommelier. All staff are served delicious, high-quality food and comfortable accommodation throughout their entire stay.
The hotel is in a remote area with little public transport, so necessary hotel transfers are minimized, and electric charging stations for guests with EVs are provided. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are also available.
Ekies organizes volunteer beach and surroundings clean-ups, supports the local municipality’s park restoration, and assists the local elementary school. Guests can join yoga and meditation classes, participate in dinners where they hand-pick vegetables from the organic garden, and go on hikes to explore the local ecosystem.
The hotel offers guests excursions to nearby cultural sites like Mount Athos, Olynthos, and Petralona Cave, and encourages engagement with the local community by visiting the open-air food market in Saint Nicholas village.
Guests are invited to become partners in upholding Ekies’ sustainability philosophy, and the hotel shares and explains all the eco-friendly practices and policies they have embraced.
