Commitment to sustainability is one of Barceló Hotel Group's top priorities. For this reason, at Royal Hideaway Corales Resort 5*GL we carry out different initiatives aimed at making the hotel a more responsible space that promotes environmental awareness.
Architecture and facilities
The resort has 476m² of solar panels that are responsible for heating the water for sanitary consumption and a geothermal system by exchanger that takes advantage of the energy from the centralised chillers to heat our 56 pools. In addition, we have a home automation system that minimises energy expenditure. Our architecture and use of efficient materials are also designed to maximise energy savings.
Gardening
50% of outdoor plants are autochthonous, which means less water demand. 100% of the products we use to treat them are organic.
Raising awareness and training employees
We communicate and train all employees in good practices through our BEcology corporate model. We also have filtered water fountains for all our employees, with the aim of reducing the use of plastic.
Other measures
Implementation of B-Ecology and maintenance management programme designed by Barceló Group, centralised control of exterior lighting with LED lights, economisers in taps through aerators and WC cisterns with a double-loading system.
Gastronomy
72% of our suppliers are local. We have recyclable packaging in all our points of sale, thus reducing single-use materials.
Management and recycling
In addition to the selective collection of waste and computer materials, we have selective waste management bins available to customers in all rooms.
Certifications
We hold the Travelife Certification and 100% green energy certification. Travelife is a global certification body for the sustainability of accommodation, in the environmental, economic and social spheres. To obtain this certification, 163 criteria must be met by the GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council). The resort has also recently achieved the Biosphere certification, which proves that it meets international sustainability requirements, as well as the Rethink 10 award for best sustainability and hotel rehabilitation projects.
