Carbon-Zero Villas

Villa Le Blanc is the new five-star carbon-zero hotel from Gran Meliá that sits on the island of Menorca, off the coast of Spain and sets a precedent for the future of sustainable travel. Notbly, Menorca was recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 and for this reason, the hotel plans to protect and preserve the surrounding environment.

The neutral-emissions hotel integrates sustainable technology to reduce emissions by 87% and resources are cleverly circulated—for instance, heat emitted from Villa Le Blanc’s air-conditioning systems will be put to good use heating up the property's pools. On-site, there are also three restaurants that work with the local service providers to share quality organic produce.
