Waste Reduction
Sustainable Design & Construction
Vieques is renowned for having some of the darkest skies in the world, and we believe in preserving this celestial wonder. To minimize light pollution and protect this unique natural asset, we exclusively use energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the hotel. For our outdoor lighting, we favor downlights whenever possible to direct light downward and prevent it from scattering into the night sky. We also strategically minimize the use of artificial lights, allowing our guests to fully immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of the night sky, a truly unforgettable experience.

Operational Sustainability
We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint by minimizing waste throughout our operations. In our kitchen, we embrace a low-waste philosophy and compost all food scraps. We also actively avoid single-use plastics in our food and beverage service, opting instead for reusable alternatives. In our guest rooms, we've replaced wasteful mini-soaps and shampoos with refillable dispensers for toiletries. We also encourage our guests to participate in our conservation efforts through our towel and linen reuse program, which helps save both water and energy. This holistic approach ensures that we reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever possible.

Water Conservation
Conserving water is one of our highest priorities. We utilize a comprehensive water management system that includes harvesting rainwater to fill our cisterns, which then serve as the primary water supply for all our container suites.
​To reduce consumption, all our faucets are equipped with aerators. e also repurpose gray water to hydrate our plants, ensuring that this valuable resource is used efficiently and responsibly.
