Nestled in the heart of untouched wilderness, our boutique hotel is where sustainability meets luxury.

Energy and Water Conservation

Our rooms feature smart thermostats to optimize energy use. The electricity powering your stay is sourced partly from renewable energy, including solar panels that harness the abundant sunlight of our long summer days. In addition, geothermal energy systems provide heating during the cold months, using the Earth’s natural warmth to keep the hotel comfortable while reducing our carbon footprint. We believe in harnessing the power of nature in the most sustainable way. We’ve installed water-efficient fixtures like low-flow showerheads and offer a linen reuse program, all designed to conserve vital resources without compromising your comfort.

Respecting Human and Animal Rights

We are dedicated to respecting human rights and ensuring fair treatment across all our operations. Our partners are held to these same standards, with strict prohibitions on forced labor, child labor, and discrimination. We also prioritize the well-being of animals involved in tourism activities, ensuring they are treated with care and respect, allowing for natural behavior and proper health.

Waste Reduction and Sustainable Sourcing

Waste reduction is a key priority at Cahkal. We compost organic waste, recycle materials throughout the hotel, and have eliminated single-use plastics. We also source locally, ensuring that our food and supplies support the local economy and reduce our carbon footprint. Hazardous waste, such as oil that is used in cooking is handled responsibly, adhering to local regulations to ensure minimal environmental impact. We encourage our guests to contact Cahkal personnel in case they have electronic waste such as broken devices or batteries during their stay.
