Environment
Playa Viva operates on a regenerative development model, which means that instead of minimizing impact to the local environment (sustainability), they focus on making the environment better that it initially was. Permaculture is one of the methods they use in their mission to be a regenerative resort. Permaculture is a way of life that supports itself, the way natural ecosystems do. It relies on sustainable agriculture, and living each day without relying on the industrial systems of production and distribution. Their techniques aspire to build an increasingly self-sufficient human settlement. Playa Viva also ensures that they take smart water conservation measures that minimizes water consumption, in addition to replenishing the local aquifer with even cleaner water. They have a well on site that provides all water, except drinking water. Water used in the kitchen to prepare food is UV-filtered. All grey water from sinks and showers flows to irrigate nearby gardens and all black water from toilets is processed with mini-living systems. Lastly, Playa Viva runs on a 100% off-grid solar system. LEDs or CFLs are used for all lighting in the lodge and is generally limited to amber colors to limit the effect the light has on nesting turtles.
