Rosewood Mayakoba is a leader in sustainable tourism

Riviera Maya, Mexico, 2019-Sep-30 — /Travel PR News/ — Rosewood Mayakoba is a leader in sustainable tourism, implementing incredibly extensive, eco-friendly conservation practices property-wide.  The five-star luxury resort is built to abide by the highest of eco-standards, offering indulgence with awareness, and has been awarded the Rainforest Alliance Certification.  From energy and water conservation to responsible, sustainable culinary practices, Rosewood Mayakoba is passionate about green hospitality.  It’s part of our DNA.

Sitting within a 1600-acre private development, our resort revolves around the protection of our natural mangroves, home to hundreds of indigenous flora and fauna.  Guests arrive to their suite via an electric boat, and they will utilize electric golf carts and bicycles throughout their stay.  All additional operational carts are hybrid vehicles with a minimal carbon footprint.

We are proud of our environmentally-responsible culinary practices in the kitchen and beyond.  Rosewood Mayakoba is a certified Seafood Watch partner for our sustainable seafood purchasing practices.  As part of the acclaimed Monterey Bay Aquarium, Seafood Watch is one of the world’s most respected seafood advisory organizations.  Chef Juan Pablo Loza, spearheading the resort’s robust food & beverage programming, has also been recognized by the government of Mexico as an Ambassador of Sustainable Seafood.  Chef Loza is passionate about clean culinary practices, focuses on healthy, whole foods of high quality and taste, and was responsible for debuting the resort’s organic garden, featuring an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, served to guests in each of our restaurants and bars.

The resort also has a multi-faceted “Green Operations” program for trash, water and energy practices far surpassing the basics of recycling – from our elimination of Styrofoam and significant reduction of single use plastic to the removal of all plastic straws.   We utilize water filters across the resort – providing guests with recycled aluminum bottles in place of plastic – and our bathroom amenities are provided to our guests in large, refillable bottles.  All of our water used at Rosewood Mayakoba is obtained from a natural well and is then filtered through a practice called inverse osmosis. We also recycle the “gray” water from our guest rooms and laundry services in an in-house treatment plant – this water is then used for landscape irrigation.
