SustainabilityDouro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa

Aware of the importance of sustainable development, we have defined a set of green measures that aim to influence the attitude of collaborators and providers, and alert our guests to the importance of the rational use of natural resources.

In the current management of the establishment we apply optimisation policies to the consumption of water and energy, the suitable routing and management of waste produced, the preservation of natural resources, and the reduction of contaminant emissions and environmental risks, which we hope promotes sustainable tourism in the region.

Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa aims to be a leader as a sustainable establishment and, to do so, we have implemented several initiatives, including:

- Implementation of latest technology solar panels to heat water
- Installation of a latest technology, high-performance and energy-efficient photovoltaic system to inject electrical energy into the hotel network, minimising consumption
- Installation of a thermal solar power system to heat water in swimming pools and support the spa
- Creation of flyers and leaflets communicating our environmental concerns, distributed among guests
- Placement of an LCD screen in reception for information related to the hotel's own energy production and the reduction of CO2 levels
- Creation of programmes interacting with public and private organisations in the region and subsequent educational and awareness actions in the community

Making the most of the architecture designed for the perfect integration of the building in the space where it is located, in harmony with the scenery Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa aims to be noted for its quality, competitiveness and environmental performance.
