Social Responsability

TALENT

25% of our colleagues come from the island of Baru. This is a very underprivileged and deprived (state funding-wise) area of Colombia.

LOCAL BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT

The hotel provides three boutiques free of charge to the local community to showcase and sale their handcrafted products to our guests.

LOCAL PRODUCE

Most of our seafood and vegetables are purchased through the local cooperatives, which means that the carbon footprint of these products is lower and we contributing to the local economy too.

LOCAL SCHOOL SUPPORT

The hotel has various programs in place with Baru’s school (food program, training program, motivation program, etc.)

LOCAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The hotel created a program called ‘Banco de Sueños Comunitario’ which gives the opportunity to any interested local business that meet our standards to work with the hotel (tour guides, artists, suppliers, producers, farmers, etc.)

LOCAL ARTIST PROMOTION

Artist from the local community are invited to showcase their talent in the hotel. One of our F&B venues was entirely painted by the most prominent street artist from the island of Baru. Some of the activities that take up the local culture and seek to transmit it to the guests are the Turban Workshop and the Braid Workshop.
