Guests staying at any Stone Wood property during Earth Day will be encouraged to participate in tree planting activities within the hotel grounds. This initiative supports long-term reforestation and lets travelers leave a positive mark on the environment. In addition, the group will activate its “Switch Off for Earth Hour” campaign, inviting guests to turn off lights for one hour—a simple but powerful symbol of energy conservation. Those who take part will be treated to a complimentary meal, reinforcing the brand’s belief in rewarding mindful actions.

To further celebrate Earth Day, Spice Wood Café outlets and Stone Wood’s in-house restaurants will present a curated plant-based menu, showcasing organic, sustainable ingredients in flavourful combinations. The goal is to highlight the harmony between mindful eating and environmental awareness.

Beyond the properties, the group is organizing clean-up drives at nearby beaches and resort surroundings, involving hotel staff, guests, and local volunteers.
