Embodying the ethos of sustainable travel, Orpheas Resort Hotel (Adults Only) marries luxury with eco-consciousness in a seamless blend. A pioneer in sustainable accommodation, this resort harnesses solar radiation as a renewable energy source, helping reduce its carbon footprint. Sustainability goes beyond power generation, reaching into the very structure of the building. Constructed with materials from sustainable sources, the structure is designed to maximize natural light and minimize the need for artificial lighting and heating. The windows, too, play a vital role in this energy-efficient design, using triple-glazing to provide superior insulation against heat and cold.
Continuing its commitment to eco-friendly practices, the Orpheas Resort Hotel places significant emphasis on the thoughtful use of resources. Its lighting solution involves LEDs throughout the premises, another step towards efficient energy use. By using non-toxic cleaning products, the hotel significantly reduces its environmental impact, while not compromising on cleanliness and hygiene. To further optimize energy use, the hotel features an automatic system that switches off lights and appliances as guests leave their rooms. In addition, the air conditioning and heating systems are designed to automatically turn off when windows are detected to be open.
The resort also demonstrates a conscientious approach to water use, with toilets that use only up to 6 litres per flush and room signs indicating that towels are changed only upon request. Further, the hotel segregates waste into at least three categories and uses toilet paper made of non-chlorine bleached paper or carrying an eco-label. Finally, the hotel's restaurant prioritizes locally sourced ingredients, supporting local producers and reducing food miles. The eco-friendly initiatives extend to engagement in activities like reforestation and wildlife conservation.
