Sustainable tourism
These measures reflect what we believe about sustainable development. We work to turn them into concrete actions and mean to strengthen them in the years to come, because there is still much to do.
Energy
In 2021 Hotel Mas del sol installed solar photovoltaic panels to make the most of the sunny local climate. Our hot water, air conditioning, water pressure and pool filtration run mostly on solar energy.
In the car park, two charging points let you recharge your electric car fully, overnight for example.
Water
Our gardens are watered only from a well below the property, near the river. The plants and trees were chosen among native Mediterranean species that need very little water. The same well can also supply the pool.
Our drinking water is made entirely by a purification system in the kitchen (“Agua recién hecha”), which treats mains water so we can offer still or sparkling water of perfect quality, in glass bottles.
Food and drink
We take special care, and great pleasure, in working with local producers: meat, fish, eggs, dairy, rice, fruit and vegetables, bought in our region wherever we can, including protected designations of origin (Pals rice DOP, for example).
As for wine and olive oil, we are lucky to take part in making them ourselves on the property, and we also buy from the producers we work with.
Hygiene
In the rooms, our washing products use natural citrus, lemongrass, lavender and peppermint scents.
We do not wash bath and pool towels every day, to use less detergent and water: leave your towels on the floor when you would like fresh ones.
Waste
Instead of small single-use bottles, which create a lot of polluting waste, we use large 500 ml refillable bottles with pumps, which are also more hygienic.
And, as is only right today, we sort the products we use and their packaging (organic, cardboard, plastic…) so each can be recycled.
It is the small gestures that add up to great progress.
