ECO HOTEls in Andalucia

Although some hotels and resorts by their nature require many resources to operate, this selection of eco hotels means that these hotels acknowledge the strain they place on the environment and as a result actively try to minimise their waste and also water and energy consumption. Some of the larger hotels are even audited and accredited by independent environmental organisations to assure guests of their commitment to mitigating environmental damage.

As well as reduced consumption and waste, Eco-friendly hotels may also go further by offering charging stations for electric vehicles and food that has been grown organically and / or sourced locally. In fact, many eco-hotels grow their own produce in gardens which may be accessible to guests (ususally in smaller types of accommodation).

 

 

In recent years, with the increased awareness of climate change and other ecological issues, many people seek eco-friendly, organic hotels for more than just an alternative health angle. More and more people want to experience an environemntally friendly and sustainable holiday. This can entail a relaxing break in natural surroundings, eating organic food and breathing in fresh unpolluted air. It can also include a certain level of participation in activities like sowing, tending and harvesting crops in the hotel grounds.

Although the coastal areas have undergone massive development and expansion in many parts of southern Spain, there are still many unspoiled areas that have attracted groups of holistic and organically minded people. There are an increasing number or organic farms and centres where the use of chemicals is discouraged and irrigation systems are carefully monitored. Many of these places also favour solar heating systems which generally works well in Andalusia, so there are many opportunities in Andalusia to stay at a guesthouse or on a farm with organic produce. Thanks to its wonderful climate, Andalusia is an ideal place to experience organic farming first hand or to relax and enjoy the benefits of nature.
