It’s wellness and well-being time. SIX SENSES NINH VQN BAY in Vietnam adds Ninh Van Greens, a solar farm to power the resort while growing crops for the restaurants and spa. Ninh Van Greens houses a 1,600 sq m organic garden, called Solar FreshCuts – by ingenious placement of 800 solar panels, elevated 2.5m above ground, land beneath is used to grow organic food crops while energy is being produced. By this August, Ninh Van Greens had generated more than 229.127 kWh of electricity and supplied 17% of the resort’s energy. 31 crops have been grown, providing 580 kgs of vegetables – Ninh Van Greens will also house 15 different varieties of fruit trees, including bananas, jackfruits, mangos, and pomegranates.
