Every third Saturday of September, World Beaches Day is celebrated with the aim of raising awareness about the conservation of marine spaces and the environment.
This day offers us the opportunity to reflect on the importance of protecting these ecosystems; it is a reminder that our individual and collective actions can make a difference in preserving these natural treasures for future generations.
At NUBA, we are committed to promoting sustainable tourism that respects and cares for the environment at all times. On this World Beaches Day, we want to highlight the importance of choosing beach destinations that share our commitment to sustainability.
For all these reasons, we present our selection of the top 5 sustainable hotels on beaches around the world. Discover them!

In the Americas, Islas Secas stands out as the best sustainable beach hotel.
Located on a private island off Panama, this remote paradise is an example of commitment to the environment, with a firm dedication to the protection of marine biodiversity and sustainable waste management. In addition, the hotel uses 100% renewable solar energy – obtained through 1,500 solar panels.

Maldives, Asia
In Asia, Soneva stands out as a destination with a strong commitment to sustainability.
This place reminds us that nature is the true protagonist and that, as we enjoy its wonders – getting to know its marine fauna in exclusive diving experiences or touring its spectacular atolls – we must also take care of it.
In the Maldives, every environmental care action contributes to the preservation of this fragile territory. Thus, reusing plastic materials, reducing waste and replanting corals are just some of the initiatives that demonstrate that sustainability and comfort can coexist.

All this without forgetting that Six Senses Ibiza manages a dedicated Sustainability Fund that supports local organizations and businesses that generate a positive social and environmental impact.
