Constance Belle Mare Plage Hotel: Celebrating Cultural Heritage, Creativity, and Eco-consciousness in Mauritius
Constance Belle Mare Plage Hotel in Mauritius has earned its Platinum Green Globe certification, a prestigious recognition of the hotel’s long-term commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and community engagement. This certification marks a significant milestone in the hotel’s journey toward achieving excellence in sustainable tourism, solidifying its position as a leader in responsible hospitality.
Constance Belle Mare Plage Hotel has demonstrated a deep commitment to protecting the environment and creating a positive social impact by implementing range of sustainability initiatives that benefit both the local environment and the local community. Among its recent efforts, Constance Belle Mare Plage organized a lunch event at its esteemed Deer Hunter restaurant for residents of a nearby old age home. This initiative provided the elderly with a unique fine-dining experience, many for the first time, while promoting inclusivity and connection. Staff members and department heads personally served meals, fostering a sense of belonging and warmth. The event continued beyond the meal, with music, singing, and dancing, leaving a lasting impact on all who attended.
Sustainability extends into the hotel’s innovative approach to reducing food waste through the “From Scrap to Sip” initiative. By repurposing fruit peels that would typically be composted, the hotel has developed handcrafted syrups that replace commercial alternatives in its cocktail creations. This simple yet effective practice has resulted in an annual reduction of 98 kg of food waste while enhancing the guest experience with environmentally conscious beverages. Guests have responded positively to this creative and sustainable approach, appreciating the thoughtful integration of eco-friendly practices into their stay.
The hotel’s dedication to sustainability also encompasses support for the local economy through the “Anou Celebre Nou Pays” initiative. This initiative provides a valuable platform for small businesses and artisans to showcase their products directly to the hotel’s staff, promoting economic resilience within the community. Local vendors offered a diverse range of goods, including handmade jewelry, locally grown plants, traditional crafts, and unique bags, ensuring that purchases directly benefit the regional economy. By celebrating cultural heritage and creativity, the initiative aligns with the hotel’s broader sustainability goals, encouraging local sourcing and reducing the environmental impact of long supply chains.
Green Globe certification acknowledges the hotel’s continuous efforts to implement responsible business practices that align with global sustainability standards. From reducing waste and fostering community engagement to supporting local businesses and pioneering innovative eco-friendly programs, Constance Belle Mare Plage continues to set new benchmarks for sustainable hospitality.
