Our environmental commitment include:
Sustainable development
To provide a flawless yet sustainable hospitality experience for our guests, we respect and showcase the valuable natural resources of our destinations. The results of our efforts are granted back to the local communities that foster our growth. As part of this effort, we have received several awards for our sustainable development policies.
Reduction of carbon footprint
To reduce our carbon footprint, we use low-consumption light bulbs and energy saving devices, as well as electric golf type cars. Also, we use new type air conditioners and heat pumps for cooling and heating, propane to washers, dryers, ovens and kitchen fireplaces, as well as insulating window frames, manufactured with recyclable materials.
Protection of water resources
For the protection of water resources, we produce drinking water by the method of reverse osmosis, recycle produced water by 100%, operate automatic watering always at night, use taps and showers with water reducers and dual flush cisterns and deploy environmentally friendly awareness campaigns for personnel and guests.
Hygiene
We select certified ecological products for housekeeping, perform daily thorough waste collection with special emphasis on recycling, frequently clean the filters of our units and perform monthly chemical and microbiological drinking water tests.
Recycling and composting
We implement a comprehensive recycling programme for paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, electric appliances, biowaste, used oils, soaps, inks and toners, in cooperation with certified suppliers. Special recycling bins are installed throughout the length of our beaches, while our guests are urged to participate in our recycling efforts.
Preservation of natural resources
To grant future generations their right to an unspoiled natural environment and cultural heritage, we protect and expand the existing natural flora and fauna environment in the Group’s hotels, supply our chain with local certified goods and seasonal products and implement a broad ‘Go Local’ campaign to support and showcase our destinations.
