The sun-drenched and eco-conscious Ilianthos Village is a beacon of sustainable tourism recognized by Green Leaders, introduced by TripAdvisor. Harnessing solar radiation for its energy needs, the hotel is equipped with a structure that maximizes natural light and air flow, reducing the need for artificial lighting, heating and air-conditioning. Every element, from the triple-glazed windows that help regulate temperature, to the sustainable building materials, reflects an earnest commitment to environmental preservation. Active in eco-friendly initiatives such as reforestation and wildlife conservation, the hotel also has an environmental manager at the helm to ensure eco-policies are upheld diligently by all employees.
Inside, every room in the Ilianthos Village demonstrates a thoughtful approach to sustainable living. Signs encourage guests to participate in water conservation by changing towels only upon request. Non-toxic cleaning products, chlorine-free toilet paper and an absence of single-use cups, glasses, plates and cutlery further underscore the hotel's environmental commitment. Further to this, an automatic system ensures that electrical appliances and lights are turned off when guests leave their room, thus preventing energy waste. And when it comes to dining, most ingredients used in meals are locally produced, celebrating the richness of the region while reducing carbon emissions associated with food transportation. Regular energy audits ensure the continued efficiency of all these operations, making a stay at the Ilianthos Village an environmentally responsible choice for the discerning traveller.
