Majahuitas Eco-Resort - Secluded & Sustainable
Steve’s recent mention of his winter woes reminded me of the fact that not everyone is a huge fan of the white stuff and the cold temperatures that come with it. For that matter, if it weren’t for my winter composting experiment I might not be quite so enthusiastic myself!
For those of you sun-lovers hoping to hit the tropics this year, but looking for something a little more low-impact than a typical resort, you might want to check out Majahuitas Eco-Resort, on Mexico’s Pacific coast. I just read about them in the Nov/Dec issue of Natural Home magazine.
Here is a blurb:
The wind- and solar-powered resort is situated on land owned by the indigenous Chacala community, which prefers low-impact development. A special septic system helps preserve the fragile beach environment; recycling and composting help control waste.
Obviously one could argue that the air travel required to reach the resort would totally negate the ’sustainability’ aspect, but the fact is most people (even serious environmentalists) still like to go on vacation! Not everyone is willing to completely wean themselves from air travel and that’s all there is to it.
All debates aside, the resort definitely looks like a very beautiful, relaxing locale. Be sure to check out the website (link above), where you’ll find quite a few pics and much more information.
