PASHA

As a proud member of the Cayuga Collection, Pasha aims to positively impact the surrounding community and ecosystems. Many of Cayuga’s hotels occupy remote Rainforest locations. That’s why Pasha Beachfront Estate makes it a priority to preserve the natural surroundings, protecting thousands of acres of endangered tropical rainforest. Constructing as low-impact as possible. When Pasha was built, they utilized as many renewable materials as possible to ensure sustainable and low-impact construction. Pasha supports local NGOs. Pasha’s proceeds support local NGOs like the Cirenas Foundation. They help protect Sea Turtle nesting on the beaches nearby. At Pasha beach cleanups are conducted frequently in order to keep the local beaches clean, beautiful and plastic-free.

Cayuga Collection believes that the concept of “local” is essential to sustainable tourism. That’s why they hire locals, buy local, and invest in the well-being of the community and natural surroundings. Making a conscious effort to source as many products as close to home as possible. Therefore, all Cayuga’s Collection mini bars are stocked with only local drinks and snacks. Their Spa products and bathroom amenities are 100% national. The gift shops offer a variety of products handmade by local artisans. To support the local economy even more, much of the furniture and art is also locally produced. Creating an authentic sense of place for the guests. Pasha eats locally. Supporting local farmers and producers, sourcing only grass-fed beef, hormone-free chicken, responsibly caught seafood, and as many locally produced and organic fruits and vegetables as possible. Pasha has regenerative farms. Pasha is involved in developing a 40-hectare farm in Costa Rica that produces organic turmeric, bacopa, moringa, holy basil, ginger, ashwanganda.

Cayuga collection thrives to offer the ultimate eco-luxury experience, teaching guests to be more conscious and responsible, so it’s fully recommended for guests to turn off & unplug everything in their rooms while they are out for the day.

A smart solution to irrigating their lush hotel grounds For many months of the year, the grounds of Cayuga’s rainforest properties become bone dry and need to be watered. To ease the demand for freshwater, Cayuga’s hotels and lodges put their wastewater to good use by purifying it onsite through a special biological system, making it completely safe and suitable for irrigating their gardens. Their drip irrigation systems then make sure that not a single drop is wasted. Pasha has a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant. Thanks to this, treated water is used to irrigate the plants on the property.

Cayuga Collection banished all single-use plastics from all their hotels. These products take a vast quantity of fossil fuels to produce and are non-biodegradable, and can’t be recycled either. Instead, Cayuga replaced all single-use plastic straws with locally-made bamboo, and other biodegradable products that are compostable, which helps reduce the amount of non-recyclable waste. Pasha goes beyond recycling. Why? Because they prefer to try better options first — following the refuse, reduce, and reuse rule. Simultaneously, maintaining the highest standard in waste recycling programs, and programs to avoid waste. Pasha’s housekeeping team exclusively uses biodegradable cleaning products, and all guest bath amenities are biodegradable too.
