How we marked Earth Day with One&Only Royal Mirage — One tree (and a few gift bags) at a time

This Earth Day, we didn’t just talk about sustainability. We got our hands a little dirty — in the best way possible.

Desert Group teamed up with the team at One&Only Royal Mirage for a meaningful, feel-good day that brought people together for something we all care about: taking care of the planet.

Tree planting with a view

Set against the morning sky, our teams came together to plant new trees across the resort’s grounds. It was a small gesture, sure, but there’s something powerful about putting roots in the ground — literally. Especially when it’s done side by side with people who share the same values.

Saying thank you where it’s due

While the trees were a highlight, one of the most touching moments came when we handed out gift bags to the hardworking labour force behind the scenes. These are the people who keep everything running smoothly, day in and day out. Taking a moment to say thank you — in person, with a simple gift — felt just as important as planting a tree.

A shared commitment

To wrap things up, we presented One&Only Royal Mirage with a certificate of appreciation, recognizing their ongoing efforts to support environmental days like this one. It was a reminder that when companies work together toward a common goal, even small steps can lead to meaningful change.

This wasn’t a flashy event. No grand announcements or big productions. Just two teams coming together to do a little good — and enjoy the process while they were at it.

Here’s to more days like this. More trees. More thank-yous. More reasons to keep going.
