Our Commitment to Sustainable Development

A quality-minded, committed approach to health, detoxing and wellness

Health, detox and well-being under the sign of quality and sustainable commitment

The Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo has been ‘Green Globe’ certified since December 2015. This certification, which is globally recognised throughout the luxury travel and tourism sector, uses over 400 rigorous criteria to assess the sustainable development commitment of tourism establishments. Chosen for the entire Société des Bains de Mer Resort, this label is renewed annually following a strict audit, which the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo continues to satisfy year in, year out.

 

In February 2025, the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo reached a new milestone by obtaining the prestigious Green Globe Platinum certification, rewarding ten years of commitment to environmental, social, societal, cultural and economic responsibility and continuous improvement. The Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo places environmental issues at the heart of its approach, integrating eco-responsible practices into all of its operations.

 

Its goal is to provide an exceptional wellness experience, while respecting the environment and implementing sustainable solutions.

Responsible resource management

  • Reducing single-use plastics: we have eliminated swimwear bags and introduced alternatives to disposable hairnets and slip-on shoes, alongside more environmentally friendly packaging
  • Eco-responsible procurement: we have selected skincare products with less plastic and optimised our linen reception process to curb waste.
  • Reasonable use of water: we pump seawater for the pool, which is good for the skin and reduces the use of chlorine products.

 

Towards greener skincare treatments

  • Choosing natural and organic skincare products: we have introduced elements that respect the skin and the planet, such as sweet almond oil, Guérande salt and Agrimer mud.
  • Hair recycling: we are committed to recycling hair from our hairdressing salon via associations, thus contributing to environmental projects.

 

Reinforced communication with our customers

  • Awareness and involvement: we communicate throughout the establishment to encourage customers to use water, towels and bathrobes responsibly.
  • Green printing: we use an eco-certified printer for all our brochures, and add eco-friendly phrases to our customers’ schedules to share and promote our commitments.

 

A sustainable approach to gastronomy

  • Local, seasonal produce: we created an aromatic kitchen garden on the roof terrace with chef Jean-Laurent Basile in 2016, which was extended in 2018 to include edible flowers and fresh herbs for use in the kitchen and in our infused waters and herbal teas.
  • Respect for marine resources: we have been a member of the Mr. Goodfish programme since 2016, offering a selection of sustainably fished marine products.
  • Responsible eating: vegetarian, detox and gluten-free menus designed to combine sensory pleasure with balanced nutrition.
  • Support for biodiversity: we sponsor hives of black bees, an endemic species, in partnership with the Boutons D’Or farm located in the hinterlands of Nice.
  • Local participation: we are involved in local culinary and sustainable events, such as ‘Monte-Carlo Gastronomie’, ‘La Route du Goût’ and the European Week for Waste Reduction.

The Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo relentlessly pursues its commitment to more sustainable tourism through a responsible management of resources and by promoting a greener approach to wellness. Through these tangible initiatives, it is reaffirming its desire to be a key name on the sustainable development scene in Monaco.

Obtaining Green Globe Platinum certification in 2025 represents significant recognition for this approach, and encourages our teams to continue their efforts to secure a more sustainable future.
