THESE ARE THE ACTIONS WE ARE TAKING

  • Water use: we have our own water supply and desalination system. Pressure regulators have been installed in sinks and baths to reduce flow without affecting service.
  • Wastewater treatment: we treat wastewater in order to irrigate the hotel's gardens and golf course.
  • Electricity and fuel consumption: 79% of the energy consumed comes from renewable energy sources, primarily from our solar photovoltaic panels. We also have a more efficient air-conditioning chiller and a heat pump for the swimming pool. This allows us to generate the energy needed to heat the pool water and meet the energy requirements of the guest rooms.
  • Installation of motion sensors in all rooms to minimise our environmental impact and contribute to energy savings, by automatically turning off lights, ventilation, and other devices when no occupancy is detected.
  • Use of pool cleaning products: the products used to clean and maintain our pools are gradually being changed to biological alternatives.
  • Solid waste management: the solid waste produced by the hotel is sorted and separated to facilitate recycling or reuse. All our employees are fully aware of the importance of reducing waste to a minimum, and we encourage the use of material that is the least aggressive for the environment. The plant waste from the hotel’s gardens and golf course is processed into fertiliser for our organic garden Eco Finca Tecina.
  • Commitment to sustainable development: wherever possible, we use locally made products and locally grown product, which also encourages familiarity with our surroundings.
  • Charging point for electric vehicles: we have a charging area for electric cars, and thus help reduce polluting gas emissions.
