Agrotourism and rural hotels are sustainable by their very nature, thanks to activities such as organic farming for guests’ meals using local products, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with importing food. However, Ibiza also has a new generation of hotels built with sustainability in mind, implementing practices such as banning single-use plastics, prioritizing recycling and up-cycling, and incorporating composting.
