At ClubHouse27, our aspiration and drive are to promote the conservation of our planet and all that lives and thrives within it.
We promote a sustainable and responsible model of tourism that is designed to attain the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Villas Sitges & Events and ClubHouse27 is committed to achieving these goals and working to help build a better future.
We set great expectations and standards for ourselves towards which we work on everyday as a company. We are conscious of the pressing matters and negative impact the tourism industry can have on our environment. We have a dense network of local collaborators and suppliers that support our goal to generate less waste by avoiding plastic materials, recycling, offering refillable water bottles, only washing linens and towels when requested, etc.
In order to best achieve our goals and values, we need our guests’ teamwork too!
How can you, as a guest, contribute when travelling to our destination and villa?
Here are some examples of small things that you can easily introduce into your daily routine. If all of us apply these, we can make a big difference:
- Turn off the lights, air-conditioning or heating if you are not using them
- Do not leave doors or windows open whilst using air-conditioning or central heating
- Water is a precious and valuable resource, do not waste it
- Enjoy and respect nature, historic heritage, culture, traditions, language and local cuisine
- Remember always the 3 R’s: reduce, re-use and recycle
- Do not forget to share your good actions with others and hopefully inspire others too by using one of the hashtags below on your social media posts:

What we have already implemented at our company:
- Implementation of LED electrical systems for the villas, which minimize the cost of consumption and environmental impact.
- All table products: linen, paper, napkins, etc. are made of recycled material.
- We use an electric vehicle so that the displacements of our employees to the farmhouses or other destinations, minimize the environmental impact.
- We do not buy plastic water bottles.
- We use cleaning products free of phosphates and other contaminants, we only use refills to not generate plastic waste.
- We have established agreements with local shops for bulk purchases and thus avoid big Super Markets where much plastic packaging is used.
Giving back:
The decisions we take regarding our work ethics reflect our philosophy of life and how we hope to see others act as well. We hope to inspire others to take more care of our planet by raising awareness and starting with small changes in our lifestyles.
How do we at Villas Sitges & ClubHouse27 contribute with these 17 goals?

We do not use chemical detergent and water pollutants. We usually use refillable containers and we support the purchase in bulk. The use of only paper napkins and organic tablecloths limits waste too. One single-use plastic bottled water is not used in our Restaurant or any of the Villas.

BIODIVERSITY, FORESTS, DESERTIFICATION
We respect and support Biodiversity conservation, encouraging good environmental practices among employees, guests and other interest groups by training our staff and informing our guests on how our work does not have a negative impact on the planet.
