Shelter Nature

At Five Sabrosa Senses, sustainability is more than a commitment – it is a core principle guiding every aspect of our project. From conception to daily operations, we strive to minimize environmental impact and promote responsible and enduring practices.

Sustainable Construction

We adopt innovative sustainable construction practices to ensure our environmental impact is minimal. We use off-site construction techniques, meaning most structures are prefabricated off-site, significantly reducing site transport and CO2 emissions. Additionally, we use reusable materials and non-permanent foundations, allowing our installations to be adaptable and less invasive to the environment. Energy production for self-consumption and water utilization are integrated to create a self-sustainable environment. We implement various solutions to reduce natural resource consumption, such as water flow reduction systems and low-energy technologies, ensuring efficiency without compromising comfort. Moreover, our resort is designed to be accessible to people with reduced mobility, promoting inclusiveness and social sustainability.

Partnerships with Local Producers

We value collaboration with local producers, enabling us to offer exclusive products and services that enrich our guests' experiences while simultaneously boosting the local economy. Through these partnerships, we help preserve traditions and promote the economic sustainability of neighboring communities. Furthermore, we recognize the importance of efficient human resource management, especially in areas with lower population density. By working closely with the local community, we optimize human resource utilization, creating employment and training opportunities that benefit both our staff and local residents.

Biosphere Certification

Our commitment to sustainability has been recognized by the Biosphere committment/certification, which attests to our responsible and sustainable tourism practices. This certification ensures that we follow rigorous environmental, social, and economic management standards, providing a tourism experience that respects and preserves the local environment and culture. At Five Sabrosa Senses, our goal is to be a sustainability reference in the Douro, offering a unique experience that respects and celebrates nature and the local community.
