ECO-FRIENDLY

In the past year alone, this resort has proudly achieved a 5% reduction in energy. Each bedroom, kitchen, and laundry area boasts at least one energy-efficient appliance, alongside energy-saving switches in rooms to minimise consumption. We encourage the reuse of towels and linens are eco-consciously washed below 60°C. Our pools are equipped with covers and variable-speed heat pumps for efficiency and throughout the resort, we use rainwater for our drought-tolerant landscaping.

OUR JOURNEY TOWARDS A MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY OF TRAVEL

GOING LOCAL

We try hard to support local farmers and food producers and always endeavour to reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing locally. Similarly, we prioritise seasonal ingredients whenever possible and products that are produced responsibly.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES

We strive to have a positive impact within our surrounding communities through local hiring and sourcing, and by supporting local businesses, initiatives, and charities.

RECYCLE AND REUSE

We’re dedicated to minimising waste destined for landfills by implementing accessible recycling bins for guest use, alongside composting organic matter on-site. Our resort is committed to a philosophy of recycling, reusing, and reducing waste through proactive environmental stewardship.

REDUCING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

We’ve stopped the use of plastic straws and coasters in most of our bars and restaurants, replacing them with paper alternatives on request. Similarly, we’ve replaced miniature and single-use toiletry bottles in some of our properties and have sourced eco-friendly beauty products.

MINIMISING WATER USE

Encouraging guests to reuse towels and linen has significantly reduced our water and energy usage. Some of our properties have installed low-flow fixtures and implemented other water-conserving programs like rainwater harvesting for garden irrigation and our gardeners intentionally choose plants that need less water.

REDUCING ENERGY USE

We’re committed to reducing our collective carbon footprint by reducing our emissions. We use LED or energy-efficient lights internally and externally. Timers and sensor systems are installed on items, such as Jacuzzis and heaters. As we continue to upgrade accommodation, we are installing more energy-efficient and automated systems, improving insulation, and replacing windows.

ENCOURAGING NATURE

Wyndham Grand Costa del Sol is taking steps to protect natural habitats and boost biodiversity. By planting native species and those compatible with the region, our gardeners avoid unnecessary pesticides and fertilisers.

SUPPORTING OUR GUESTS’ GREEN JOURNEYS

Communicating our green practices to our guests and engaging them in our journey is central to making a difference. We encourage guests to travel by public transport if possible. We also offer excursions that engage with the natural landscapes around our resort and forge connections with local communities and the area’s culture.

KIND HOLIDAYS

Kind Holidays is founded on a simple, yet profound belief: everyone deserves a break. Our mission is to shine a light into the lives of individuals and families facing life’s harshest challenges by providing free holiday accommodation at our IDILIQ resorts in Europe and Florida.

For countless people, holidays are a taken-for-granted pleasure. However, for those caring for a loved one with a severe illness or disability, mourning a child, serving as an unpaid carer, or adjusting to post-military deployment, a holiday represents a distant dream. These breaks offer not just relaxation, but critical respite and rejuvenation, often acting as a lifeline in their challenging circumstances.

Kind Holidays has gifted over a thousand free holiday stays, thanks to partnerships with charities like Dreams Come True, Give Us Time, When You Wish Upon A Star, and Carers Trust. Together, we have extended the warmth of hospitality to some of the most grateful guests our resorts have ever had the pleasure of welcoming.

As pioneers of this charitable initiative, we also invite the wider hospitality sector to join us in this journey.
