Hugarró Nature Retreat is being designed for enjoying nature but with all the comforts of a carefully planned hospitality experience. It’s a concept hotel that awakens the senses with experiential, inspirational stays. A place not only to enjoy but also to learn.
Blending perfectly in the natural environment, it provides sustainable accommodation conducive to active leisure and mindfulness through outdoor activities and leisure pursuits.
Hugarró Nature Retreat most important added value is the natural landscape that surrounds it. We consider it a privilege to have been offered the opportunity to develop a hotel on this beautiful location and with privilege comes responsability.
To protect and preserve this natural asset, the natural birch forest in particular, and keep our environmental footprint as small as possible, we implement the following strategies:
- Buildings will cover just over 4% of the land area. Besides our 33-room hotel, only 30 to 35 guest cabins will be build, each ‘hidden’ in the forest and topography of the property.
- Adaptation to the terrain to avoid soil disruption.
- Only build where there is no tree coverage. If any trees have to be removed, we’ll plant 10 back.
- Use of recycled or recyclable, if possible local materials with a low carbon footprint (FSC-wood or composite, steel; no concrete except for foundations).
- Make our heating requirements minimal (excellent insulation, triple glass, ventilation with heat-recovery to name a few).
- Use of renewable energy sources like mini hydropower.
- Practice smart reforestation to bring back native plant and tree species and financially support biodiversiy restauration initiatives.
