Sustainability at Colina Secreta
Committed to Social, Environmental
& Economic Impact.
CONSERVATION
Our commitment is guided by the principles of triple impact: social, environmental, and economic. We clean up beaches to connect with local communities and raise awareness. We reduce single-use plastics, choose glass over plastic, and support local environmental initiatives. By prioritizing local products, we help strengthen the regional economy while caring for the planet.
Plastic-Free Commitment
We partner with organizations such as the Plastic Pollution Coalition to minimize the use of single-use plastics across our operations. We also ensure that all plastic consumed on the property is properly sorted and recycled, helping reduce our environmental footprint and protect the ecosystems around us.
Good Drinks, Less Plastic
Every drink is served with the planet in mind. We’ve replaced disposable plastic straws with elegant, reusable glass, bamboo, and stainless steel straws, helping reduce waste one sip at a time.
Regenerating the jungle
Thanks to our partnership with the Sloth Conservation Foundation, we’ve planted over 140 native trees — including almendros, essential for the endangered green macaw. We’ve installed canopy bridges to help sloths and wildlife move safely above the ground, and even trained our dog Sakura to respect their space.
Back to the Sea
Did you know dead coral and broken shells provide refuge for marine life and help form beaches? Many travelers don’t. That’s why we created our Back to the Sea program — an opportunity for guests to return what belongs to nature and learn how small gestures can have big impact.
