Environnement au PALM Hotel & Spa

Environmental policy

Since 2010, the peaks, cirques and ramparts Reunion island are classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. This unique area coincides with the central area of Reunion island National Park. It covers more than 100,000 hectares, equivalent to 40% of the island’s area.

The exceptional wealth of the island, but also its fragility, pushed us since the creation of PALM Hotel & Spa in 2007 to integrate us in our environment in the most rational and responsible way possible and participate actively in the preservation of this remarkable wealth.

The exceptional wealth of Reunion Island, but also its fragility, prompted us from the creation of PALM Hotel & Spa in 2007 to integrate ourselves into our environment in the most reasoned and responsible way possible, and to actively participate to the preservation of this remarkable wealth.

This approach has matured year after year, culminating in its formalization through obtaining the “Services d’hébergements touristiques – European Ecolabel ” certification.

The European Ecolabel is a voluntary mark common to all member countries of the European Union. Created in 1992, it is the only official ecological label recognized throughout the Union, issued in France by AFNOR Certification.
