RAMADA HOTEL & SUITES

OUR SUSTAINABLE STORY

Ramada Hotels & Suites is a green-focused Resort committed to sustainability. We devote ourselves to eco-conscious initiatives designed to protect the planet and enhance the guest experience.

Project on energy efficiency and circular economy in tourism companies, within the framework of the Recovery Plan, funded by NextGeneration EU (European Union), under the Order of 05/08/2024.

ECO-FRIENDLY

Over the past year, the Resort has achieved a notable 5% reduction in energy consumption. Every bedroom, kitchen, and laundry space features at least one energy-efficient appliance, complemented by energy-saving switches to minimise energy use. We carefully select toiletries to decrease plastic consumption, and our linens are washed eco-efficiently at temperatures below 60°C. Our swimming pools are fitted with covers and variable-speed heat pumps to enhance efficiency, and we utilise rainwater for irrigating our drought-resistant landscaping across the Resort.

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

Ramada Hotels & Suites 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 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.

The Foundation prides itself on fostering significant relationships with organisations, associations, and those in need within these regions, continuously addressing their evolving social requirements.

Our efforts extend beyond just financial assistance; we actively engage in collecting food, furniture, clothing, and other essential items, along with donating computer equipment to enhance the quality of life for various groups.
