At Hotel Bell Repòs, the first hotel in Platja d’Aro to obtain the Biosphere Sustainable certification, we are deeply committed to sustainability and reducing our environmental impact. We strive to offer our guests a comfortable and eco-friendly stay, and that’s why we explain how to reduce your carbon footprint during your holiday.
Today, we present some initiatives to follow to contribute to a greener future while enjoying a dream vacation at our sustainable hotel in the heart of the Costa Brava:
1. Opt for eco-friendly transportation
One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to choose sustainable transportation options.
We encourage you to use public transportation, carpool with other travelers, or rent bicycles. At Hotel Bell Repòs, as a Bed&Bike hotel, we offer bicycle rental services so you can explore Platja d’Aro and its surroundings in an eco-friendly and healthy way.
2. Reduce energy and water consumption
We encourage you to be mindful of energy and water usage during your stay. Turn off lights and electronic devices when you don’t need them, and reuse towels and sheets to reduce water and detergent consumption.
Our rooms are equipped with energy-saving systems that contribute to reducing our environmental impact.
In addition, you can learn new sustainable practices that you can apply in your daily life to save water, such as the “Green Bucket” project.
3. Choose local and regional products
Enjoy the delicious gastronomy of the region at local restaurants and shops, where the use of local and regional ingredients is prioritized. In our km0 shop, you can find authentic regional products such as honey from the Ridaura Valley, ceramics from La Bisbal, km0 organic wine, jams from Can Juanals, and much more.
By choosing local products, you not only support local farmers and producers but also reduce the carbon emissions associated with food transportation.
4. Participate in healthy and sustainable activities
The activities we recommend at Hotel Bell Repòs are designed to promote an eco-friendly, responsible, and healthy lifestyle.
During your stay, we recommend participating in sustainable and healthy activities, such as hiking trails, discovering coastal paths, exploring local viewpoints or natural parks, going on excursions, and enjoying family activities. Don’t miss our blog to discover all our recommended activities.
