The ECO friendly trademark reflects THB hotels’ ongoing commitment to a sustainability programme that encourages good environmental practices. You too can help us to reach our goals during your stay at the hotel.
Here are just a few of the ways you can contribute to the programme:

SAVE WATER

Reuse pool and bathroom towels.
Turn off the tap while using soap or shower gel, or when you are brushing your teeth or shaving.
Remember that the toilet is not a waste bin.
Make sure you turn off the taps properly.

REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
Whenever possible, take advantage of the natural light. It will boost your levels of vitamin D and save electricity.
Take the stairs instead of the lift. You’ll get a workout almost without realising it.
If the heating or air conditioning is on, keep the terrace door closed.

RECYCLE

Use our recycling corners. You’ll find them in the communal areas.

Reduce food waste to a minimum.

Preferably opt for products of recycled origin.

Select materials that are more environmentally friendly and have a longer lifespan.

LESS PLASTIC

Here at THB hotels we have eliminated single-use plastics: single dose gels, shampoos, oil and vinegar, etc… as part of our commitment to the environment.

So why don’t you do the same?

- When you leave our facilities, avoid using plastic straws, supermarket bags, single use cutlery, etc.
- Whenever possible, choose paper or glass packaging.
- In the supermarket, shop loose products.

LEARNING AND CARING FOR LANZAROTE

Lanzarote boasts a series of unique characteristics that set it apart from other tourist destinations. When visiting the island, a listed Biosphere Reserve, you must remember that factors such as its volcanic origins, its desert climate and wealth of natural resources make it extremely fragile. We all have a part to play in guaranteeing its conservation, so keep these important tips in mind throughout your stay:

DO NOT WASTE WATER. Rainfall levels on Lanzarote are extremely low. Potable water is obtained by means of seawater desalination, a costly and contaminating process.
CUT OUT UNNECESSARY POWER CONSUMPTION. Generating power has a major impact on the natural environment.
CONSUME FOOD PRODUCED ON LANZAROTE. When it comes to eating, opt for local produce such as our Designation of Origin wines. Agriculture played a vital role in the island’s economy in the past and today shapes the island’s landscape. Do your bit to preserve the beauty of the agricultural landscapes.
REUSE, REDUCE AND SORT WASTE, USING THE COLOUR-CODED BINS. Cutting the amount of rubbish produced requires opting not to buy products with unnecessary amounts of wrapping, or urging stores to use recyclable packaging.
STAY ON THE ROAD. The tracks left by vehicles on volcanic materials take years to disappear. Avoid using aggressive means of transport when travelling inland on the island. Hiking or cycling routes are more environmentally friendly. The use of more aggressive means of transport such as motocross bikes, fourtrax bikes erode the land, produce contamination, noise and endanger our wildlife.
DO NOT THROW LITTER, CIGARETTE ENDS OR OTHER WASTE PRODUCTS. The island’s residents have always been aware of the need to conserve and keep their environment clean. Contribute by adopting our cultural values.
KEEP TO THE FOOTPATHS. A simple footprint on recently formed materials takes months to disappear.
DO NOT TAKE VOLCANIC MATERIALS AWAY WITH YOU. Geology is the principle feature of the island’s scenery.
DO NOT PICK PLANTS AND FLOWERS. Lanzarote boasts a flora unlike any other in the world, but it is scarce and very precious.
USE THE LITTER BINS ON THE BEACH, OR IF THERE ARE NONE, TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME WITH YOU. The beaches are one of the island’s many attractions. Do not allow rubbish to gather on them.
RESPECT THE SEA. Do not throw waste products into the sea. When scuba diving, take care not to damage the algae or capture living animals from the seabed. The sea is one of our most important assets.
WHEN SHOPPING, CHOOSE LOCAL ARTS AND CRAFTS. Ask at the tourist information offices for details of shops specialising in local arts and crafts.
VISIT THE ART, CULTURAL AND TOURISM CENTRES. The network of tourist centres is the finest hallmark of Lanzarote’s built and environmental heritage and its cultural identity. Discover Lanzarote’s art and culture.
