Commitment to sustainability and the environment
Your eco-friendly hotel in Galicia
At Hotel Bosque Mar we have been working for sustainability and environmental protection for years with specific measures. Will you help us?
At our hotel we take sustainability very seriously. Being a hotel that helps preserve our magnificent surroundings and minimize the impact of tourism in this area is a priority and a responsibility for us. For this reason, we try to be a sustainable hotel in several aspects that we will discuss below:

Company committed to sustainable tourism
“We have been committed to the environment for 19 years, since we installed our first solar panels, having been pioneers in the use of this type of renewable energy and having received recognition at both local and regional level for alleviating the negative effects of the use of fuels generated by the influx of tourists and for promoting a more sustainable environment, thus collaborating in keeping our rich natural environment as clean as possible.”

Commitment to sustainability and ecology: certificates and concrete actions

Certificate of tourism sustainability
We have been the second establishment in Spain to obtain this certificate awarded by the Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality
It certifies the protection of nearby ecosystems, the rational use of natural resources, the mitigation of climate change and the benefits for the social and cultural development of the surrounding communities.

We belong to Quartz Inn Hotels
The first chain of independent sustainable, unique and authentic hotels.
It certifies that we comply with its standards in procedures focused on sustainability and ecology.

14001 Certificate

100% renewable electricity certificate
We have the Energy Commitment Certificate that guarantees that 100% of the energy used in Bosque Mar comes from renewable sources
This is only the energy we receive from outside during the night hours since we produce most of it in the hotel with photovoltaic panels.

Electric car chargers
We are also working on the construction of a small photovoltaic power plant for the production of electrical energy for our own consumption.

Solar panels
Since 2000, we have avoided the emission of approximately 2.5 million kilos of CO2 into the atmosphere, since each kilo of diesel fuel burned produces 2.3 kg of CO2.
This is because we heat the water with our 80 solar panels, thus avoiding the use of fossil fuels such as oil and its derivatives.
