La Réunion, a green and eco-responsible island
La Réunion, a paradise island in the heart of the Indian Ocean, has naturally limited energy and water resources.
We therefore strive to limit the impact of our activity on our environment
Energy
Our domestic hot water is produced solely by the sun
Villa Galabé et Tafia is equipped with self-consuming photovoltaic panels on the roof
All our lighting is low-consumption LEDs
The saltwater swimming pool is heated only when necessary and during the hours when the sun is strongest
Your ecotourist gesture ?
Use the air-conditioning only when necessary and when you are present, keeping the doors and windows closed
Water
All the plants in the garden are grown locally and require very little watering.
All the taps are fitted with aerators to reduce the flow rate
Toilet flushes are fitted with dual-flow systems
Your ecotourist gesture ?
Tap water is safe to drink. We provide you with a Thermos flask of fresh water. Don't hesitate to ask for a refill !
Waste
We limit the use of disposable packaging (breakfast, shower gel, water, etc.)
We favour short distribution channels (markets), without over-packaging
We sort plastic, paper and cardboard, as well as organic waste and glass
The recycling bins are located outside, in the courtyard. The compost bin is in the garden
Your ecotourist gesture ?
When hiking, walking or at the beach, take your rubbish with you so that it can be easily sorted !
