Sustainability & Community Engagement at Malta Marriott Resort & Spa

Every guest room at Malta Marriott Resort & Spa features a filtered drinking-water tap, providing guests with a convenient alternative to single-use bottled water. Guests can refill their reusable bottles and glasses throughout their stay, helping us reduce plastic consumption across the resort.

Wherever possible, our culinary teams select locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, working with Maltese farmers, fishers and producers to bring fresh, authentic flavours to our menus. This approach supports the local economy, helps reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation and allows guests to experience the island’s rich Mediterranean culinary heritage.

We continually seek opportunities to minimise waste throughout the resort. Our initiatives include recycling programmes, reducing single-use items within our food and beverage outlets, and encouraging the responsible use of resources across our operations. Our teams also monitor waste streams to identify further opportunities for meaningful, long-term improvement.

Our housekeeping teams use carefully selected cleaning products and efficient laundry processes to help reduce our environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort. These practices support guest well-being and contribute to more responsible daily operations throughout the resort.

Malta Marriott Resort & Spa is proud to hold Green Key certification, an internationally recognised environmental standard for the hospitality industry. This certification reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible resource management, waste reduction and the continuous improvement of our environmental performance.

We work closely with Maltese organisations, cultural groups and community partners – including the local council - to support initiatives that celebrate local heritage and strengthen community connections. Through these collaborations, we aim to make a meaningful contribution to the island while building positive and lasting relationships.

Situated beside Balluta Bay, Malta Marriott Resort & Spa recognises the importance of protecting the coastal environment that surrounds us. Our teams participate in local clean-ups and environmental awareness initiatives, helping to preserve Malta’s coastline and encouraging its responsible enjoyment.

Each year, Malta Marriott Resort & Spa marks Earth Hour by dimming selected interior lighting and switching off the resort’s façade lighting for one hour, while continuing to prioritise guest comfort and safety. By joining this global initiative, we help raise awareness of energy conservation and the collective role we can all play in protecting the environment.

We invite our guests to support our sustainability efforts through simple but meaningful actions. Refilling reusable bottles from our in-room filtered water taps, recycling responsibly and making more sustainable dining choices can all contribute to a more environmentally conscious stay.

Where activities are available during their stay, guests may have the opportunity to participate in community or environmental initiatives organised with our local partners, including coastal clean-ups and awareness events. These experiences offer a meaningful way to connect with Malta’s natural environment and contribute to its preservation.

Marriott Bonvoy members can extend their positive impact by donating points to participating charitable organisations through Marriott Bonvoy’s giving platform. These donations support a range of social and environmental programmes worldwide, allowing our community of travellers to contribute to causes that matter.
