In honour of World Earth Day on April 22, 2025, Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts is rolling out a lineup of eco-conscious initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability and guest participation across its properties. With a brand philosophy deeply rooted in nature and community, Stone Wood is inviting both guests and team members to join in meaningful efforts to support the planet.
“At Stone Wood, we believe that hospitality goes beyond comfort—it's also about responsibility,” said Shikhar Kumar, Managing Director of Stone Wood Hotels & Resorts. “This Earth Day, we're creating opportunities for our guests to actively contribute to the planet while enjoying their stay. Whether it’s planting a tree or choosing a sustainable meal, every small action adds up.”
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. These collective efforts underscore Stone Wood’s commitment to cleaner, healthier communities and immersive travel experiences that give back.

SAii Phi Phi Island Village, part of SAii Hotels & Resorts, has unveiled an enhanced version of its popular “Astro Moments” experience, a stargazing-inspired escape that connects guests with the cosmos on the resort’s private beach.
Following the recent repositioning of SAii Hotels & Resorts as a lifestyle brand centred on the belief that peace of mind is the ultimate luxury, this new chapter of Astro Moments combines scientific discovery with soulful relaxation.
Once a month, on Saturday evenings during the third week, guests gather on the island’s pristine stretch of sand for guided stargazing sessions led by astronomy experts from the BCIS Planetarium in Phuket. With clear skies most of the year and almost no light pollution, the resort’s remote location offers perfect conditions for spotting constellations, planets, and other celestial wonders through a telescope.
As twilight sets in, guests can choose to elevate the evening with a Starry Picnic by the Beach, a romantic basket of gourmet bites and celestial-themed drinks. The curated hamper includes Asian-inspired delights like tortilla wraps with wok-minced chicken and chilli basil, and herb-marinated pork neck, complemented by sparkling wine.
Adding a personal touch, the resort has also introduced a Zodiac-to-Experience Guide, helping guests discover activities that match their astrological signs. Adventurous Aries can explore kayaking, paddleboarding, or snorkelling vibrant reefs; nurturing Cancers are encouraged to reconnect with nature through forest walks and marine discoveries; and focused Capricorns can unwind with sea-view spa rituals or wellness sessions overlooking the horizon.
Bart Callens, Cluster General Manager, SAii Phi Phi Island Village & SAii Laguna Phuket, shared, “A cherished haven for nature lovers, SAii Phi Phi Island Village continues to create experiences that resonate deeply, inviting guests to reconnect with themselves and the natural world, one starry night at a time. Whether one is drawn to the science of astronomy or the spirit of astrology, the stars offer the perfect guide.”
The stargazing sessions are complimentary for in-house guests, while the Starry Picnic by the Beach can be booked for an additional charge.
