We act responsibly, think long-term, and constantly work with sustainability, which is a central part of the decisions we make in our business. This is based on environmental aspects as well as social (inclusive, equal, and tolerant) and economic sustainability. We want us and our guests to have as little impact on the environment as possible.
Our interior design concept consists of 70% vintage and 30% new. We have our own water plant that desalinates and purifies the seawater we drink, and we aim to start our own production of salt, seaweed products, and even solar cells. Naturally, we choose suppliers who are themselves committed to sustainability and want to develop it further.
