Irida Beach Resort Suites stands out for its green hospitality initiatives, tapping into renewable energy sources such as solar radiation and biomass to curtail its ecological impact. The architecture of the resort significantly contributes to its sustainability efforts. It is designed to optimize airflow and capture abundant natural light, thereby lessening reliance on artificial sources of heat, light, and cooling. The resort employs triple-glazed windows to further enhance its energy efficiency.
A multitude of eco-friendly services and facilities are offered at the resort, including the use of non-toxic cleaning products, LED lighting, and the provision of bicycles for guests. The resort emphasizes waste separation and composting of organic waste, which aligns with their commitment to minimizing waste. Single-use disposable items are eliminated, and guests are encouraged to use resources responsibly with initiatives such as towel change on request. The food offered at the resort majorly comprises locally produced ingredients, underscoring its support for local communities and reduction of food miles. Additionally, guests are ensured of their rooms' energy efficiency, with systems that turn off the light and electrical appliances when they're out. A unique aspect of the resort is the annual nesting of the Caretta Caretta sea turtles on the beach from May to September. This natural spectacle further deepens the connection of guests to the unique local environment.
