Sustainability at Mamiwata Ecovillage
Nice to You. And to Mami Earth.
When it comes to sustainability efforts, we mean it. Mamiwata Ecovillage tries to care for the people and communities around us and the beautiful nature at Santo Antão. And this ultimately brings advantages to you, our clients.
Examples of what we do: 1) We work with local employees and that also up to the hotel’s management. 2) We provided street lights to the village street of Chã de Igreja. 3) We receive almost all food supplies from local sustainable sources. 4) We do not sell plastic bottles at all. 5) Special shower heads save up to 50% of water, without reducing comfort. 6) Greywater is used for irrigation. 7) And much of our energy comes from our own solar power plant. (See more in the Sustainability section).
As a sign of gratitute, all rooms are named after the construction workers, who built these.
