Sustainable Practises

Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa is committed to using sustainable practices and we encourage our guests to do the same while staying at our resort in Cabo San Lucas. The following is a list of some of the sustainable practices we implement at our resort as part of our mission to reduce our ecological footprint and to preserve the natural beauty of the surrounding region:

• Poolside beverages are served in reusable cups.
• We provide straws with our drinks only upon request because they are damaging to the marine and desert ecosystems that surround us.
• We encourage guests to reuse their towels and only replace them if they have been left on the floor. This way guests can help us be more ecologically friendly without compromising their comfort.
• We do not change bed sheets on a daily basis, unless it has been requested by the guest. We prefer to do so every three days so that we conserve water and electricity.
• We grow some of our vegetables, fruits and herbs onsite and purchase the rest locally so as to decrease our ecological footprint.
• Recycling initiatives are set in place, including separate bins for organic and inorganic waste.
• Regular beach cleanups are performed by the staff.
• Wildlife protection initiatives are utilized, including sea turtle programs from May to October when turtles visit the resort’s beach to lay their eggs.
