Small gestures for a better world
At the AP Hotels & Resorts group, we are committed to protecting the environment on a daily basis, ensuring its mission towards sustainability. We do this by investing in good internal practices and training our employees.
Making the world more sustainable
We record the volume of waste on a monthly basis and try to reduce waste wherever possible by recycling, using refillable and/or reusable products and opting for alternative materials to plastic. We try to work with suppliers who have implemented sustainable measures.
It is essential that we preserve our greatest natural resource!
We have installed flow control equipment on the taps, as well as flow reducers at various strategic points, with the aim of promoting water savings without compromising our customers’ experience.
Discover the beauty of the Ria Formosa or the Montargil Dam, but respect its nature
We invite our esteemed clients to visit the Ria Formosa or the Montargil Dam, pointing out that these are protected areas where special attention and respect for the local fauna, flora and water resources is required.
Implementing energy strategies to promote sustainability
In order to reduce energy consumption, we have installed energy-saving technologies, replaced equipment and provided training for employees on saving energy resources.
Sustainable Transportation at AP Cabanas Beach & Nature
At AP Cabanas Beach & Nature, sustainability is at the heart of daily operations. An example of this is the transportation of guests to the beach, carried out by a solar-powered boat. This eco-friendly solution not only minimizes the hotel’s carbon footprint, but also protects the delicate Ria Formosa ecosystem.
The use of clean, renewable energy reflects AP Cabanas Beach & Nature’s commitment to promoting sustainable practices, guaranteeing a leisure experience that respects and preserves the surrounding natural environment.
Reused energy
At AP Hotels & Resorts group hotels, energy sustainability is a priority. A significant percentage of the energy used in our operations comes from renewable sources and is reused whenever possible.
Sustainable Design and Construction Standards
At the AP Cabanas Beach & Nature hotel, design and construction are guided by principles of sustainability. From the planning stage, we have adopted eco-friendly building materials, energy-efficient technologies, and practices that minimize environmental impact. The buildings are designed to optimize the use of natural light and ventilation, reducing the need for external resources.
Charging Stations for Electric Cars
The AP Hotels & Resorts group is committed to supporting sustainable mobility. To facilitate the use of electric vehicles, we have made charging stations available in several of our hotels, allowing our guests to recharge their cars in a practical and environmentally friendly way.
This initiative reflects our commitment to promoting cleaner transportation solutions, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and encouraging sustainable practices in the tourism sector.
Social Action and Sustainable Partnerships
The AP Hotels & Resorts group has promoted various social actions with the aim of fostering sustainability, through partnerships with local associations. We work in collaboration with the Algarve Association and MAPS – Movimento de Apoio a Problemáticas Sociais, creating synergies that benefit the community.
In 2023, we donated bed linen to MAPS, which transformed the donated materials, giving them a new use and extending their life cycle. With the Algarve Association, we donated plates and a housekeeping trolley, reinforcing our commitment to reusing resources and supporting social causes.
