A Luxury Sustainable Hotel

Protecting our Ecosystem

Indura Beach & Golf Resort is a sustainable luxury hotel with a privileged location inside Jeannette Kawas National Park in Honduras. This protected area with incomparable ecosystems and biodiversity is internationally acknowledged as a Ramsar site for wetland protection due to its exceptional natural features and its capability to sustain various species, particularly aquatic birds.

Aside from hosting a wide variety of natural riches, this area has been over 200 years home of the Garifuna ethnic group, who have been able to keep traits of their culture and ancient traditions that deserve to be appreciated and respected.

Steps Towards Conservation

As an eco-friendly hotel, we understand that this privilege is accompanied by a set of responsibilities that have been adopted by each and every member of our work team, and at the same time need to be transferred and shared with our guests to ensure the conservation of these resources.

Inside the resort premises:

Observe and appreciate wildlife from a distance.
Avoid handling or having close encounters with wildlife, for your safety and of the species. In case of identifying the presence of any specie inside the premises, report it to the resort personnel.
Help protect the wildlife´s eating habits by avoiding any direct or indirect feeding.
Dispose all solid waste properly, especially food waste, in the containers available for this purpose, or contact the resort personnel to take care of it.
Ensure minimal noise to not disrupt wildlife.
Make proper use the public spaces and available accesses. Avoid any type of forced entry across vegetated or restricted areas.
Contribute to conserve water resources by avoiding its overuse and pollution.
Contribute to conserve energy by using lights, fans and air conditioning only when considered necessary.
Avoid collecting or introducing flora and fauna species.
Try to get actively involved in environmental and cultural conservation activities of the park and its communities.

When visiting neighbor communities:

Appreciate the cultural and traditional features of the inhabitants.
Maintain appropriate dress codes at all times.
Be conscious of the negative impacts that are derived from any type of inappropriate behavior such as taking photographs of people and the locality without their consent or not considering local customs.
Avoid purchasing animal products as souvenirs, as this promotes further poaching in the area (coral, turtles, conch, etc.)
