At Redondo de Guayedra, we promote sustainable and regenerative tourism, encouraging environmental conservation, the creation of quality jobs, and visitor education. This has a positive impact on the region and its culture.
Our tourism leaves no trace on the land, but leaves a mark on the hearts of our visitors, improving the quality of life for the people living in this corner of paradise and for future generations.
Restoration of existing ponds and water collection: We have restored the traditional ponds in the valley to capture and store rainwater flowing from the Tamadaba Massif.
Efficient water management: Collecting and storing water from Tamadaba ensures our self-sufficiency in terms of irrigation and consumption. Additionally, we use controlled and efficient irrigation systems to minimise water usage for crops, protecting this scarce island resource.
Renewable energy: Solar panels cover a large proportion of the farm's energy requirements, reducing our dependence on non-renewable sources. Redondo de Guayedra promotes responsible energy use across all its facilities, striving to set an example for energy self-sufficiency in the region.
Soil protection and biodiversity: Thanks to an agreement signed with the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, we have reforested 60 hectares and reintroduced endemic species, thus promoting a healthy and resilient ecosystem.
Traditional organic farming: Our crops are certified organic and grown outdoors using traditional methods. This type of farming contributes to soil health and allows crops and wildlife to coexist in sustainable harmony.
Low light pollution: All our outdoor lighting is designed to minimise light pollution in the valley, earning us the Starlight Accommodation designation.

We collect and reuse invasive plants: We give them a second life. We collect them and use them as fuel.
