Environmental Sustainability
Sustainability is the new luxury, and at Alila Napa Valley, we are deeply committed to minimizing our impact on the environment and preserving the way of life and traditions of the surrounding agricultural community. Guests are invited to participate in unique sustainability experiences during their visit.
Climate Change and Water Conservation
Alila Napa Valley embraces an environmentally sustainable framework designed by renowned Canadian architectural firm Yabu Pushelberg. YP’s unique design principles prioritize sustainability along with world-class design through the use of longer lifespan design elements with replaceable elements. Experience the Oiseau solid ash wood chair, a self-seeding and fast-growing wood known for its natural beauty and flexibility during design.
The resort’s unique flat roofs have the distinct advantage of perfectly angled solar panels to reduce the energy-related carbon footprint at the resort.
Waste and Circularity
Our resort is committed to reducing waste production and reusing, recycling, and upcycling through programs like our signature upcycling, which creates crafts tokens from bottle corks.
Additionally, our resort has eliminated single-use plastics from guest rooms without compromising amenities or quality. Water fill stations are installed at the restrooms near our Barn to encourage the use of reusable water bottles during your stay. In-room guest amenities such as combs and toothbrushes are made from wheat straw and packaged in barley paper.
The resort is a participant in the compost program in Napa Valley, which aims to reduce landfill impacts. The resort completes an annual waste audit to identify additional ways to reduce impacts.
Responsible Sourcing
The resort gardens include apple trees, fig trees, citrus, lavender, rosemary and more seasonal flowers and herbs. These herbs are used for garnishes for Spa amenities, and the florals provide colorful accents for our Spa displays.
Our freshly grown lavender is used to bring the flavors of our signature Violetto cocktail to life—our Cucumber Lavender Lemonade.
Experiences such as the 2nd Life Wine Bottle Experience offer guests an opportunity to personally embark on Alila Napa Valley’s deep commitment to sustainability. Led by expert hosts, guests will transform used wine bottles, sourced from our property and our partners, into elegant pieces of glassware and floral vases.
