At NUBA, we are committed to promoting <strong>sustainable tourism<\/strong> that respects and cares for the environment at all times. On this <strong>World Beaches Day<\/strong>, we want to highlight the importance of choosing <strong>beach destinations<\/strong> that share our commitment to sustainability. For all these reasons, we present our selection of the <strong>top 5 sustainable hotels<\/strong> on beaches around the world. Discover them!  <\/p>\n<h2>Dry Islands, America<\/h2>\n<p>  In the Americas, <a href=\"https:\/\/islassecas.com\/es\/\">Islas Secas<\/a> stands out as the <strong>best sustainable beach hotel<\/strong>. Located on a private island off Panama, this remote paradise is an example of commitment to the environment, with a firm dedication to the <strong>protection of marine biodiversity<\/strong> and sustainable waste management. In addition, the hotel uses 100% renewable solar energy &#8211; obtained through 1,500 solar panels. Surrounded by one of the most important marine areas on Earth, this conscious, low-impact model is vital to protect and preserve the extraordinary biodiversity of the Gulf of Chiriqui, demonstrating that <strong>luxury and sustainability<\/strong> can go hand in hand.  <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14757 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Islas Secas hotel\" width=\"1799\" height=\"1011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel.jpg 1799w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-739x415.jpg 739w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-395x222.jpg 395w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-788x443.jpg 788w, https:\/\/nuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vista-aerea-Islas-Secas-hotel-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1799px) 100vw, 1799px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Maldives, Asia<\/h2>\n<p>  In Asia, <a href=\"https:\/\/soneva.com\/resorts\/\">Soneva<\/a> stands out as a destination with a strong commitment to sustainability.
