The Importance of Sustainability
Here at Butterfly Shelter, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it is the cornerstone of our philosophy and operations.
Nestled in the serene environment of Canyelles, Spain, just 40 minutes from Barcelona, our ecolodge embodies the principles of responsible tourism and environmental stewardship.
We believe that preserving and regenerating the natural beauty of our surroundings while providing an exceptional experience for our guests is not only possible but essential.
Commitment to Eco-Friendly Practices
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of the Shelter.
Our ecolodge has been built without cutting any tree. An air chamber protects the building from heat and cold. Our green roof not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our facilities but also contributes to energy efficiency and biodiversity.
We utilize advanced eco-technologies such as aerothermal energy for heating and cooling, rainwater harvesting systems, and solar panels to reduce our carbon footprint.
The water for our salt-water pool comes from our rain water cistern and is chemical-free.
Sustainable Accommodation
Our unique Celtic yurt offers a comfortable and immersive experience, blending traditional design with modern sustainability practices. This eco-friendly accommodation ensures that our guests can enjoy the beauty of nature without compromising on comfort or environmental responsibility.
Local and Organic Cuisine
We prioritise local and organic food sources to support regional farmers and reduce food miles. Our culinary offerings are not only delicious but also align with our commitment to sustainability. By choosing local produce, we ensure that our guests enjoy fresh, high-quality meals while contributing to the local economy and minimising our environmental impact.
Promoting Slow Tourism
We are proud proponents of the slow tourism movement, which emphasizes quality over quantity and encourages travelers to immerse themselves in their surroundings. At Butterfly Shelter, guests have the opportunity to disconnect from the fast-paced digital world and reconnect with nature. This approach not only enhances personal well-being but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the environment.
Educational and Inspirational
Sustainability at Butterfly Shelter extends beyond our operations to our educational initiatives. We offer workshops and activities focused on sustainability, wellness, and nature conservation. By educating our guests and promoting sustainable practices, we aim to inspire a collective effort towards environmental protection.
Our Vision for the Future
As we look to the future, Butterfly Shelter remains dedicated to advancing our sustainability efforts. We continually seek innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact and enhance the guest experience. Our ultimate goal is to create a model of sustainable tourism that others can follow, ensuring that the natural beauty of Canyelles and the broader environment is preserved for future generations.
