Green

Deemed a bronze-level resort, Hamanasi was the first resort in Belize to receive Green Globe Certification. This certification is bestowed on eco-friendly destinations by the Belize Tourism Board.

To reduce erosion and preserve the romanticism of the setting, Hamanasi uses a six-foot-wide designated strip of vegetation near the beach.

Hamanasi has a ten-acre reserve dedicated to the conservation of a number of animals, including fish, birds, turtles, and more.

Trees are an essential part of the eco-system. To that end, Hamanasi built the resort among the trees and cleared as few of them as possible. The result is a stunning atmosphere that is also kinder to the environment.
