Sustainability under the sea

A commitment is needed to understand and disseminate the importance that should be attached to the protection and conservation of multiple ecosystems in the ocean, and the proper management of non-organic waste.

At Hotel Las Islas we have multiple nurseries for the reproduction of corals and the protection of endangered species, controlling in that way different invasive species, such as lionfish.
