Lowering energy usage and saving water are foundational to the resort’s sustainability mission. In-room energy management systems are employed to control lighting and air conditioning alongside low-flow showers and sinks in all guest and public baths. Behind the scenes, dryers use lower temperatures and thus less energy to dry resort towels and linens, which also benefit from a reuse program. Recycling is also in-place throughout the resort in addition to a commitment to being a 100% single-use plastic-free destination.

To avoid unnecessary chemicals – including cosmetics ingredients and agricultural pesticides – the resort offers guests all-natural nourishment both inside and out. Locally sourced ingredients and organic juices are the stars of the resort’s restaurant, while eco-friendly AVEDA products are liberally applied during treatments at the spa. Guest rooms feature natural bath amenities from BeeKind, compostable coffee pods, aluminum water bottles, and environmentally friendly accoutrement such as wooden drink stirrers and agave straws.

Surrounded by spectacular beaches and some of the country’s clearest waters, the resort understands that a portion of its appeal rests on its amazing oceanfront location and thus devotes itself to hosting events and implementing preventative measures to ensure Miami Beach’s sandy seashore and teeming reefs are restored and preserved for the future. Regular beach cleanups, and activities with the Coral Restoration Foundation are just a few of the ways The Palms Hotel & Spa helps to preserve our ocean.
