Sustainable Initiatives

Environmental Protection and Conservation

As part of lodge's commitment to being one of the foremost resorts in Costa Rica, El Silencio Lodge & Spa features an array of sustainable programs and initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint and protect and preserve the vital natural resources of the surrounding cloud forest. The lodge holds the maximum Five-Leaf Rating in Costa Rica’s Certification of Sustainable Tourism. This initiative, championed by the Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT), is a globally-respected tool to rate, monitor, and guide the country’s tourism industry. Its rigorous evaluation process contemplates water management, energy conservation, waste disposal and recycling, positive relations with surrounding communities, cultural authenticity, and guest safety. By offsetting carbon and using premium, planet-friendly materials, the zero-harm lodge promotes a holistic concept of tourism.

Community Empowerment

More than 95% of the staff is local, imprinting the guest’s experience with the signature hospitality that characterizes its human context. In return, El Silencio Lodge & Spa gives back through employment opportunities, local purchases, and the growing relationship with its closest neighbor, the Los Bajos del Toro community.
