Responsibility

OUR COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

conscious

As a true gem far away from anything that weighs us down and binds us, Weissenhaus is aware of its responsibility for our environment. The world we live in, the sea we bathe in and the air we breathe are not only an important asset, but our livelihood.

For this reason, we conserve resources, live a mindful approach to them and start with ourselves: in the offices, the restaurants, the lovingly furnished suites & rooms, in the minds of our staff and everywhere on the spacious grounds, which, with its vast meadows and dense forests, also provides a home for native animals. See, understand and act - this is our contribution to the protection of the earth and our guidance for ecological sustainability.
