HOVIGREEN
Tenerife, a natural paradise in the Atlantic Ocean, deserves more than admiration: it needs our active protection.
At HOVIMA Hotels, our commitment translates into concrete actions: we reduce marine pollution, protect biodiversity, and promote responsible tourism. We are committed to using recycled materials in our products—such as wristbands, signage, and gadgets—giving a second life to resources and minimizing our environmental impact. Furthermore, we work in collaboration with companies and initiatives that share our vision, joining forces to generate lasting change.
If you wish to contribute to caring for the environment and supporting the local population during your stay, contact us at the email rtma@hovima.com. We will be happy to offer you options and recommendations that align with your values.
Let's act today: together we protect and preserve the unique beauty of Tenerife for future generations.

NEA water
Due to our commitment to the ocean, we offer NEA Water in the minibars of our HOVIMA Cool Costa Adeje, HOVIMA Santa María, and HOVIMA Jardín Caleta hotels. NEA Water not only strives to be of the highest quality with minimal environmental impact, but also seeks to transform an everyday gesture into a unique and inspiring experience. Each bottle is an invitation to connect with the ocean and to leave a positive and memorable footprint. Its commitment goes beyond eliminating single-use plastics: NEA Water also promotes coral reef restoration projects, bringing life back to our oceans and protecting their richness for future generations.
Ocean Window
Ocean Window is an innovative leisure program developed by HOVIMA La Pinta Beachfront Family Hotel with the goal of raising awareness about the importance of the marine ecosystem in the south of Tenerife. Our purpose is to merge our guests' experience with leisure activities, thereby generating a significant differentiation and strengthening our commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility.
Too Good to Go
At HOVIMA Jardín Caleta, we collaborate with Too Good To Go, as we are in continuous search of sustainable solutions. We have declared war on food waste, which allows us to offer low prices and socially contribute our grain of sand. We are delighted with the success we have had so far.
LET'S FIGHT FOOD WASTE TOGETHER!
Cory's Shearwater
Every year we have a new opportunity to uphold our commitment to the environment, its biodiversity, and to maintaining the balance of our marine ecosystem. At the end of October, young birds leave the nest on their first journey to the sea and, dazzled by the lighting of coastal developments, fall disoriented to the ground. At HOVIMA La Pinta Beachfront Family Hotel / HOVIMA Jardín Caleta, we support the “The First Flight” initiative and help them reach the sea.
With this initiative, 3,254 specimens were collected in Tenerife in 2023, and 97% were released back into the sea.
For a world without paper
With the "paperless" initiative, we strive to reduce or completely eliminate the use of paper in various activities and processes. This approach seeks to promote efficiency, sustainability, and digitalization by encouraging the use of digital technologies for the creation, distribution, and storage of information instead of relying on traditional paper.
Our goal is to remove all unnecessary paper and provide all the information you need in our application.
Sustainable cleaning with HOVIGREEN Choice
Did you know that every time we clean your room, we consume: 35 liters of water, 100 ml of chemical products, 1.5 kWh of electricity. Help us preserve a vital resource and reduce our environmental footprint by limiting daily cleaning and towel changes. This small gesture saves water, energy, and chemicals, actively contributing to sustainability and the responsible care of our natural environment. For this reason, in our hotels Cool Costa Adeje, Suites Costa Adeje, and La Pinta Beachfront Family hotel, we have launched the HOVICLEAN program, which allows you to opt for a more efficient use of resources and, in addition, receive rewards for your commitment. Together, we can make a difference and create a positive impact on our environment.
Circular Tourist Communities
We collaborate with the Circular Tourist Communities project, which manages biowaste to convert it into compost for the organic cultivation of fruits and vegetables, which will be part of the hotel's culinary offering.
A more responsible kitchen, a more sustainable future.
Orbisk Technology
Did you know that one third of the food produced in the world is wasted? In our kitchen, we work to change this reality. That is why we have implemented Orbisk technology, which automatically identifies what type of food is discarded, in what quantity, and at what time of day. With this information, we optimize our orders, reduce waste, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Every dish counts. Every decision adds up.
Waste management
Regarding waste, the three "R's" define our waste policy.
We reduce what we generate as much as possible, and we also reuse with the philosophy of turning waste into resources, giving them at least a second use.
Everything we no longer use, such as bed linen or furniture, is donated to social entities. And finally, we recycle; both in the guest area and in the employee area, there are selective waste bins for separately depositing paper and cardboard, packaging and plastics, and glass.
Help us make the world a cleaner and more sustainable place!
