Our approach
Our guesthouse is fully committed to an ecological and sustainable development approach. We are dedicated to preserving the exceptional nature that surrounds us while supporting the local population.
Eco-friendly
To begin with, we have made efforts to minimize our environmental impact. We renovated our site by reusing as many existing materials and furniture as possible and then using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Additionally, we have installed Ecol’Eau kits, water savers, in our bungalows and facilities to reduce our water consumption.
Clean energy production is also a priority for us. The solar panels already present when we took over allow us to recharge our backup batteries and thus cope with power outages without using fossil energy. We reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the preservation of Nosy Be’s fragile ecosystem.
We have also established an organic vegetable garden and compost on-site. This allows us to grow some of our own herbs, fruits, and vegetables, while reducing organic waste and producing natural compost to fertilize our crops. In this way, we reduce our dependence on transportation for food supplies and encourage healthy and sustainable eating. Our vegetable garden and garden will soon be watered using rainwater harvesting!
Finally, we are committed to supporting the local population. We have hired staff from our neighborhood and the village of Dzamandzar, which contributes to the local economy and allows residents to benefit directly from tourism. Furthermore, we encourage our guests to discover the local culture by suggesting visits to the villages of Nosy Be, as well as to Arts Village, the place in Nosy Be dedicated to local and Malagasy handcrafted products!
Our participation
We are proud of our commitment to ecology and sustainable development. By choosing our guesthouse, our clients actively contribute to the preservation of nature and the support of the local community. This is also why we are committed to donating €1 (5000 ar) per client who has stayed at Tsara Beach to the Orangea elementary school, where the majority of the neighborhood’s children are educated. This money will be used to purchase some of the school supplies for the start of the school year.
