SUSTAINABLE HOTEL

The Hotel Molí del Mig by URH is aware of the importance of being respectful of the environment, and to this end, since its inception it has carried out a series of actions to protect it and live with it in a sustainable way.

Since the creation of the Montgrí, Illes Medes and Baix Ter Natural Park and our recent accession (2019) to the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism (CETS), our commitment is still very firm and we have planned new actions to carry out, both in energy saving, and in spreading the values of the Natural Park, as well as in local development.

For us, the relationship with the environment is a priority. It is applied in different ways:

- The rehabilitation of the old mill and the expansion of the new buildings have been carried out taking into account their integration into the landscape.
- The rural factor has been combined with design and architecture.
- The garden concept takes into account the enhancement of the native landscape.
- The offer of cycling and hiking routes has as its objective, among others, the discovery of the environment.
- The different waste containers have been visually protected.

In order to save energy, different measures are taken:

- Use of solar panels for water heating.
- Lighting with low consumption light bulbs (LEDs).
- Presence sensors in the hotel corridors and some points outside.
- Power disconnection when leaving the room.
- Disconnection of the air conditioning when opening the windows.

Waste management is done responsibly

- Organic products, paper, glass and plastic are separated, as well as oils and fats in the kitchen. The purchase of packed products is also minimised, as well as the use of plastic utensils.
- Chemical products are minimized. To disinfect the pool water, salt is used instead of bleach.
- In order to protect against noise pollution, the noise coming from the equipment and machinery itself is minimized, putting up protective barriers.
