Delphina Hotels & Resorts carried away the title World’s Leading Green Independent Hotel Group at the World Travel Awards 2021.
“We are so proud of this award,” says Elena Muntoni, brand manager of Delphina Hotels & Resorts. “Our next goal is to continue innovating and improving sustainability. We care about our land, and are sure that respecting the environment is one of the ways to create value, especially in a region like Sardinia."
100% green energy and electric car charging ports
For years the company has been adopting eco-sustainable growth policies that respect the environment, culture and Sardinia’s food and wines. Delphina is the first Italian chain to use 100% green energy in all their properties, saving 3,536 tons of CO2 per year. The Gallura-based hotel chain is also synonymous with low visual impact structures, using as many materials as possible from local artisans. Great attention is also paid to sustainable travel with electric vehicles on site for guests within the resorts and charging points for electric cars.
Locally sourced food and less plastic waste
Delphina is also committed to using biodegradable materials, and ditching plastic. All Delphina guests receive a free bottle which can be refilled in the specially installed fountains, saving 68,700 plastic bottles per year. The food and wine on offer support healthy, good and fair cuisine, and are based around locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. In one of the Delphina facilities, the Le Dune Resort & Spa in Badesi, there is a 5-hectare vegetable garden. Delphina also promotes excursions to introduce guests to the nature, archaeology and history of Sardinia’s Gallura region.
