Noah Beach House and Noah Surf House are aware of the fact that both hotel and restaurant operations use a lot of resources, as well as generate waste, so they have environmental and sustainability policies in place to reduce the ecological impact through an approach of environmental and social performance improvement.

To minimise the amount of waste generated, Noah Surf House has already implemented certain actions intended to improve energy efficiency and water/waste management. The following are some of the most significant steps taken:

  • Solar panels that generate 70% of the water heating needs (showers and taps).
  • Heat pumps with high energetic efficiency, used for radiant pavement (first heating option, being the solar panels a complement);
  • Rainwater harvesting system that redirects water to a well, to be used in toilet flushing, garden watering and washing;
  • We hand over a Noah’s Welcoming Kit to every Guest, which contains a 24 Bottle made out of stainless-steel, which can be refillable with filtered water in different hotel areas.
  • The plants chosen for our Garden are autochthonous (local) and do not need watering.
  • Composting station that allows the usage of organic waste, produced internally, transformed into organic compost without pesticides used as a natural fertilizer on our organic garden. The same garden will grow vegetables and aromatic herbs for both Noah’s restaurant and surf house kitchens;
  • Abolishment of every disposable plastic object, for instance, the straws;
  • Seasonal menus with local and organic ingredients whenever possible;
  • Encouragement next to our guests to do hiking trails and go preferentially on foot or by bicycle, around Santa Cruz. - Development of activities related with sustainability, like beach clean ups, with our guests.
