Now, more than ever, we’re all trying to do our bit to help the environment. The hospitality sector is no exception; with hotels also working hard to be more sustainable. Sani Resort and Ikos Resorts, with their renowned portfolio of luxury hotels in Greece and Spain, have launched a ‘Green’ programme dedicated to sustainability and supporting local communities. Here’s how it works…
Ikos Resorts has taken a number of steps to make its luxury hotels in Greece and Spain greener. This includes installing heat pumps – which pump warm air from the outside in – and solar panels. The group has also introduced roof and botanical gardens, along with an added commitment to reducing waste – especially plastic. In one year, Ikos Resorts recycled a jaw-dropping 400 tonnes of materials!
Ikos Resorts uses locally-sourced products wherever possible; with more than 50% of its products coming from local farms, small businesses and cooperatives. The group also partners with local restaurants, providing training and supporting business through its ‘Infinite Lifestyle’ dining concept. By encouraging guests to explore beyond its resorts, the group helps to boost local tourism, too.
Our expertise, worldwide connections, and the way we do things with a relentless drive means whatever your travels needs are, we can make it happen for you whenever, however, wherever and every time.
Ikos Resorts doesn’t only support local communities either. It has a global outreach; helping charities all over the world. Through a donation of state-of-the-art hospital equipment, for example, more than 6,000 children benefitted from improved emergency healthcare in 2019. The group also donated a professional kitchen to Syrian refugee children, as well as a vehicle to assist the Syrian Coast Guard in refugee rescue operations.
The award-winning Sani Resort in Halkidiki has the proud claim of being the first carbon-neutral group of luxury hotels in Greece. These five-star properties, in their stunningly beautiful location on the Kassandra peninsula, have been running on 100% renewable energy since 2019. Sani Resort has also banned single-use plastic, and recycled more than 219 tonnes of glass in just one year.
Located amid a remarkable blend of lush forest, flawless beaches and wildlife-rich wetlands, Sani Resort is truly something special. Its 110-hectare expanse of wetlands is home to more than 200 different bird species. Many of these birds are endangered, and the resort is committed to preserving their natural habitat. Guests can also enjoy informative bird-watching tours and Sani-Eco Excursions. At Sani Beach, you can visit the Bee Spot too; which is an insect-friendly garden designed to both host these protected pollinators and educate guests.
With its award-winning restaurants and fantastic amenities for children, Ikos Olivia in Halkidiki is an outstanding five-star property for guests of all ages. Its enchanting views of the Aegean Sea mean you would be hard-pressed to find a more attractive location. Five restaurants boasting an array of cuisines will keep your appetite ever satisfied; while junior guests will be in their elements at the kids’ club.
When it comes to luxury hotels in Spain, Ikos Andalusia is always a winner, too. Overlooking golden sands in the fabulous Costa del Sol, it is the perfect base for sundrenched breaks. Unwind by the beautiful pool and treat your tastebuds to Michelin-starred dining. Little ones will be kept entertained at the kids’ club too, while you treat yourself to sumptuous spa pampering.
Sani Beach in Halkidiki offers family-friendly, five-star luxury for discerning guests. Its beautiful private beach lends a sense of exclusivity, and accommodation is impeccably chic, yet caters for both couples and families. A plethora of restaurants will please any palate; while the property is perfectly set up for relaxation or fun for all ages.
