Sustainability

Ecology

The hotel’s accommodation buildings are modular buildings. When thinking about the concept of the hotel, ecology and preserving nature were important cornerstones in the design. The accommodation buildings are built from Finnish heartwood logs, which are only felled no more than 100 kilometers from the sawmill. Modular construction also made it possible to build indoors, which saved us from possible damage caused by the weather during construction. On the plot, the first work phase was the construction of footbridges between the buildings, so that the soil would not be trampled during the construction phase. The accommodation buildings were lifted into place on their feet, allowing the ground beneath them to live and grow its own life.

Towards more sustainable tourism – the promise is that the hotel will be carbon positive as early as 2023.

In the hotel, they only use renewable energy sources – 100% wind power. During 2023, they will install solar cells, which will allow them to produce a large part of the energy they use.

They sort their waste and avoid individual products packaged in plastic. They donate discarded textiles to those who need them. To avoid plastic waste, they use refillable ceramic bottles for laundry products.

Locality

finlande inkoo the baro charme luxe archipel cuisine plats voyage sur mesure o-nord finlande inkoo the baro charme luxe archipel cuisine plats voyage sur mesure o-nord

They prefer cooperation with local operators so that the carbon footprint of the products and services we use is as low as possible.

In their restaurant, they prefer ingredients produced nearby or sourced from responsible operators. They avoid food waste by offering their guests, for example, a personally covered breakfast.
