COMMITTED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

In 2008, Set Hotels received certification to international Environmental Standard (ISO 14.001). Due to that, we continue with our environmental commitment year by year, and we have created the GREENSETH brand, “Stay in Green / Alójate en verde”.

For Set Hotels, that environmental certification is the fruit of many years of work and guarantee our commitment to manage and promote the sustainability of our destination.

We make tourism compatible with respecting the surroundings and the environment, by implementing energy and water saving measures, correctly separating waste (both urban and hazardous) and constantly training our workers.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Minorca (Reserve of the Biosphere) while we encourage you to collaborate with us in conservation of our Island through the different initiatives we have implemented at our establishments. You can see these in the brochures in your room
