Coastal initiatives in the Caribbean

Caring for mangroves

Travel to the best beach resorts in the Caribbean with a guilt-free conscience, knowing that, by staying at Iberostar beach resorts, you are directly contributing to improving the health of the oceans and coasts, through activities as important as cleaning up beaches or planting mangroves.  Did you know that these trees are some of the most beneficial on Earth for the planet? That is because they are able to absorb more CO2 than other species. They also have the added benefit of helping conserve the coasts, as they protect them from hurricanes. The waters around them host a wide range of species and regenerate a large amount of oxygen. At Iberostar’s beach resorts in the Caribbean you will learn this and much more.  

At Iberostar, we are protecting and planting mangroves in front of our hotels in the Riviera Maya and Punta Cana. If you want to learn more about this important tree and stroll through its forests, we recommend booking your vacation at Iberostar Selection Paraíso Lindo or Iberostar Selection Paraíso Maya in Mexico.

Iberostar’s Coral nurseries

In front of Iberostar Rose Hall in Montego Bay, there is a coral nursery where we care for over 1000 elkhorn coral fragments, in order to outplant them back onto the reef. Not visiting Jamaica? If you’re interested in a sustainable vacation and learning more about how we care for the environment, we also have coral nurseries in Riviera Maya and Cozumel. 

Do you have a scuba diving certification? If so, choose Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus, Dominican Republic, and visit an impressive underwater coral nursery where you will have the rare chance to observe samples from different endangered species.

Single-use plastic free

Moreover, all of our luxury beach resorts in the Caribbean are free of single plastics and you can consume guilt free seafood with the guarantee that it is responsibly sourced, therefore protecting not only the health of the oceans but also the communities that depend on them.

Top activities by the beach in the Caribbean

The Caribbean beaches might be the ideal spot to relax and do nothing. But we are here to tell you that there is much more you can do at the beach, if you want to.

Discover the Caribbean diving

Sail away

If being underwater is not for you, just take a cruise and enjoy the crystal clear waters from inside a comfortable and luxurious boat. On the other hand, if you want to add some adrenaline to your vacation, we recommend incredible water sports such as water skiing, parachute skiing or even fishing excursions.

Finally, you can simply enjoy the views from our facilities facing the ocean.
