Sustainability Efforts
Hotel Fondavela is deeply committed to sustainability and environmental conservation. The hotel utilizes environmentally friendly products, such as ozone-friendly refrigerants and recycled roofing materials, and employs solar panels to heat water in select buildings. Its eco-conscious construction practices include using sustainably sourced lumber and avoiding rare or vital wood species, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Wastewater is managed through isolated drainage systems to protect local creeks and rivers. Complimentary organic toiletries and ecologically friendly laundry detergents are provided in every room, while a private pond supports local wildlife. The hotel also maintains 1.5 kilometers of trails in the primary forest, perfect for bird watching. Additionally, Fondavela collaborates with the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, supports local conservation efforts, and runs educational programs and scholarships to help empower local children as future environmental stewards.
