Sustainable Resort Practices at Palmar Beach Resort

At Palmar Beach, the concept of sustainability is incorporated into the resort’s operations. We know that it is important to conserve the area’s special natural attractions, and we try to reduce the impact that we have on the environment. Some of the water conservation measures, energy conservation measures, and waste management policies that we have in place will help to make your stay as environmentally friendly as possible.

The buildings of the resort are constructed with the environment in mind and are incorporated into the natural landscape of Puerto Morelos. We have also ensured that the architecture does not disturb the wildlife, and at the same time, we have allowed a lot of natural light and air into the resort. Also, we use locally grown and organic products to create the best experience for you and to give back to the community that has so kindly embraced us.

By choosing Palmar Beach Riviera Maya, you are contributing to the conservation of the beautiful ecosystems around us, helping protect the coral reefs, beaches, and jungles that make this region so special.

The surrounding area of Riviera Maya is rich with sustainable activities that will help you connect with the area’s diverse natural resources. From eco-treks through the jungles to snorkeling tours that protect the second-largest coral reef in the world, there is no shortage of options to enjoy nature responsibly.

Guided Eco-Tours through the Jungle

Walk through the magical Mayan jungle with a trained guide who will take you through the undergrowth and show you plants and animals only found in this tropical climate. These tours are designed to educate about the sensitive environments of the area and the necessity of the conservation initiatives. Whether you choose to walk or take a minimally invasive guided ATV tour, these experiences will provide you with a firsthand impression of the diverse wildlife of Riviera Maya and a chance to support local conservation projects.

Snorkeling and Diving in the Mesoamerican Reef

The Mesoamerican Reef is one of the largest and most diverse reefs in the world. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and there are several initiatives taken to conserve this natural asset. When you go for eco-friendly tour operators when snorkeling or diving, you’ll be enjoying the beauty of the reef while contributing to its conservation. At Palmar Beach, we suggest you explore this protected area with certified eco-tours that follow the principles of green tourism to avoid harming the marine environment. You can contact our concierge to get more specific information.

Visit Sacred Cenotes

The Yucatan Peninsula is home to sacred cenotes, natural freshwater sinkholes that are of spiritual importance and are habitat to rare species. Some of these cenotes are situated in the Selvática nature reserves, where the local people focus on the conservation of the ecosystem. These beautiful natural sites will allow you to swim in pure blue waters and, at the same time, learn about their meaning to the Mayan civilization. Our team can suggest the best cenote tours that are friendly to the environment and practice green tourism.

Sea Turtle Conservation Projects

The area is one of the most significant feeding grounds for sea turtles, and it is also one of the largest in the world. There are many non-governmental organizations that work hard to protect sea turtle eggs and let the newborns reach the sea. During your stay at Palmar Beach, you can reach out to the concierge to arrange a visit to one of the conservation programs, where you can participate in the release of baby turtles into the wild. This experience is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving marine life for future generations.
