Mayapada Hospitality Holding Group, owner of InterContinental Bali Sanur Resort and Holiday Inn Bali Sanur strengthened their commitment to environmental responsibility through a Turtle Release Program held on Tuesday, 26 August 2025.
Early Sunday morning, 72 baby sea turtles were discovered hatching from the nest on the sandy beachfront in-front of the Resort. To ensure their safety, the hatchlings were collected and protected from potential predators, including both animal and human. As sea turtle are the protected species under Indonesian law, the Resort took immediate action to safeguard them before releasing them into their natural ocean habitat.
With the necessary permit granted by Sindu Dwarawati Turtle Conservation – Sanur, the two hotels carried out the release at Semawang Beach, directly in front of InterContinental Bali Sanur Resort. In-house guests were invited to join the meaningful event, offering them the chance to actively contribute to the long-term survival of this endangered species.
“We are honored to be part of this remarkable moment in nature,” said Gordon Coutts, Owner Representative for Mayapada Hospitality Holding Group. ‘The turtle release program not only reflects our commitment to sustainability and biodiversity conservation, but also provides our guests with a unique and memorable experience. Protecting these hatchlings and helping them begin their journey to the sea is a small yet powerful step towards preserving our planet’s natural heritage.”
