Respect for the bay

We see this coast as a heritage entrusted to us — working from energy to water, local sourcing to marine protection, to leave a lighter footprint.

IX.a — Our Commitment

Leaving more than we take

The cove does not belong to us — we belong to the cove. Since Lumina Bay was founded, sustainability has been not a marketing headline but the core of our operations.

Our 2030 goal: a carbon-neutral accommodation experience. Each year we take concrete steps towards that target.

IX.d — Looking Ahead

The 2030 commitment

By 2030 we aim to be carbon-neutral and to evaluate every link in our supply chain against sustainability criteria. This path demands uncomfortable decisions — and we are prepared to make them.

We choose to do this without diminishing the guest experience, because we do not believe genuine luxury and environmental responsibility are in conflict.

Sustainability is not an added burden on the guest experience — it is the experience itself. Clean air, quiet water, local flavours — these are already what the guest seeks.
