At Prana del Mar, stewardship for our environment is a primary concern. As a green yoga retreat center, we take care to tread as lightly and have made significant strides to reduce our impact on the planet. For example:

  • All of our electricity comes from solar panels installed throughout the property
  • Our pool is solar heated
  • The floors of our yoga studios are strand-woven bamboo
  • Our waste water is treated on-site and reused to irrigate the gardens
  • We included skylights in our design to increase natural lighting
  • All light fixtures and appliances were chosen with energy efficiency in mind
  • Organic sheets, bath towels, and bath mats
  • Rather than washing linens and towels every day, we allow guests the option to reuse linens to reduce water usage
  • We use cloth hand towels and napkins instead of paper
  • Our garden is organic – no pesticides or herbicides
  • We compost excess food and organic materials and use them as fertilizer
  • Aerated showerheads for great water pressure at low flow rates & low-flow toilets
  • We provide organic personal care products – shampoo, conditioner, cleaners, and lotions – all purchased in bulk and supplied in dispensers to reduce single-use containers
  • We utilize green cleaning products
  • We recycle wherever possible and use primarily rechargeable batteries
  • We offer purified drinking water and give every guest a refillable bottle to reduce wasting single-use plastic bottles
  • If you purchase carbon offsets for your plane flight, we’ll credit you that amount (up to $50 USD) toward any massage, spa service, surf lesson, or other excursion
