Eco-Friendly Naples Resort

Learn what makes our Naples resort eco- friendly.

LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort is certified as a Green Business by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and has been recognized with a THREE PALM Designation in the Florida Green Lodging Program. In addition, it has earned the EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification and achieved GreenLeader Bronze Level status with TripAdvisor. We push well beyond ENERGY STAR, Green Business Program or Green Key requirements with eco-friendly efforts to preserve and protect the indoor and outdoor environment.

Eco Facts

Check out why we’re a green resort in Naples, and what makes us that way. From LED light bulbs to sensor control panels in guest rooms and public spaces, stem battery power to low-flow water valves, environmentally responsible cleaning solutions to ongoing recycling efforts, we make sure that not only is our resort green, but we make sure it’s easy for you to be green too.

Preserve, Protect, Inspire

LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort is a certified Green Business, and we’re proud of it, but we’re also continually developing eco-friendly efforts to preserve and protect the environment, while still offering an indulgent (and healthier) resort experience.

Water Conservation

The hotel’s water-saving systems, water miser faucet control valves and toilets, account for a 21% reduction in annual water use.

Diversion From Landfill

No more tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Instead, our guests may treat themselves or someone special to the luxurious scent and body-drenching nourishment of our Lather bath & body essentials in large shower pump bottles. In addition to our self-imposed plastic straw ban, we also recycle our kitchen grease into bio fuel and compost, further helping us divert as much of the resort’s waste stream from landfill.

Breathing Through The Outdoors

According to the EPA, indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air. We raise indoor air quality by circulating large amounts of outdoor air into guest rooms (all our accommodations have sliding glass doors!). The resort also uses low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) flooring, sealants, paints and adhesives.

Further, the resort has six artificial mini-reefs installed at our marina which provides nursery habitat to help hundreds of native fish, crabs and shrimp grow up while filtering tens of thousands of gallons every day. Each unit installed filters 30,000 gallons per year allowing for growth of up to approximately 500 fish, shrimp and crabs per year. Our partnership with Ocean Habitats, Inc. allows us to visually monitor growth and development over time.

Reduction of Chemicals

We use Green Seal certified cleaning products, resulting in sustainability and simplicity by producing environmentally responsible cleaning solutions right here on property, automatically and available as needed. Our team reuses bottles and reduces hazards with non-irritating cleaners.

Transportation

Our guests have access to bicycles to explore Naples safely and comfortably without the hassle of gas, traffic and parking. And if you prefer transport by water, we have kayaks and paddle boards waiting just for you!

Local & Organic

Our Blue Zone recognized BALEENnaples Restaurant and elements bar feature a menu that brims with traditional selections accompanied by a classy twist, including fresh Florida seafood, terrific steaks and remarkable appetizers.

Our fresh seafood includes Grouper, Gulf Catch Ceviche, Red Snapper, Crab, Gulf Shrimp and more, providing a delicious palate of the senses. The restaurant also serves wonderful breakfasts and lunches as well as a sumptuous Sunday Champagne Brunch. Cuisine here is paired with a selection of wines from our Wine Spectator award-winning list, microbrew beer, and hand-crafted cocktails.

Energy & Carbon

Hotel is certified with LED light bulbs to sensor control panels in guestrooms and public spaces; EcoSmart thermostats in guestrooms allowing HVAC system to shut down eliminating wasteful cooling to reduce our energy footprint; Energy Star rating electrical mechanical equipment; VFD’s (variable frequency drives) to reduce Peal Load Demand on property’s power grid.

Community Efforts

Through its affiliation with Noble House Hotels & Resorts and being a recognized leader in the Naples hospitality community, LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort believes in prideful practices to aid and assist its community. The team’s passion in volunteering their services with local partners truly benefit a variety of needful and impactful non-profit organizations. With that said, the overall resort proactively seeks out and assists a multitude of local as well as national establishments by donating time, space and services as part of its philanthropic initiatives.

Conservancy of SW Florida

For more than 50 years, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida has been a leading environmental advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the water, land, wildlife and future of our local community. LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort partners with the conservancy in observing the nesting season for loggerhead sea turtles on the beaches of Southwest Florida with its annual Sea Turtle Conservancy package. In addition to luxurious accommodations and dining at the resort’s BALEENnaples restaurant, the two-night Sea Turtle Conservancy package provides guests the opportunity to adopt a sea turtle, as well as visit the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, where they can learn about the importance of the center’s resources and understand the role it plays in protecting the region. The eco-friendly package, its educational aspects making it perfectly suited for families, is available during the nesting season, which takes place annually between May and October.
