82. our commitment to luxury & sustainability
At Maca Bana, we are striving to set an example that eco
tourism and responsible development are attainable for
small family run businesses. We firmly believe that every
little step will make a difference and help preserve the
paradise we live in.
Starting with the construction, we have provided an oasis
of peacefulness, luxury and beauty in tune with our lush
environment.
Our environmental guidelines encompass a list ranging
from solar energy, a saline infinity-edge pool and energy
efficient appliances to the daily energy saving and waste
reducing practices which are carried out by owners, staff
and management… the little steps we can all take every
day to do our share in the face of this huge challenge of
reducing global warming.

83. renewable energy
In June 2007, we have taken the first step away from fossil fuels towards renewable
energy, setting the pace for green tourism in Grenada. A solar system with 48 panels was
installed in addition to the pre-existing standard solar water heaters.
Our photo-voltaic system was extended in April 2009 to a total of 111 solar panels
covering the electrical needs of our boutique hotel. Maca Bana guests can now enjoy 5
star luxury and a holiday home with every imaginable convenience in jungle-like
surroundings, knowing that the high quality appliances they use are powered by the
very sun that they have come to soak up.

84. ‘green luxury’
Saline (chemical-free) swimming-pool
Composting from The Aquarium Restaurant’s and the hotel

Magazine Beach and surroundings on 18th Sept. 2009.
Staff is kept employed full time during low season, also during current world
wide recession.

85. St. David’s project ~ restoration of a slice of rainforest & organic farming

86. organic farming & rainforest preservation
The owners Uli Kuhn and Rebecca Thompson embarked on their
agricultural project in August 2008 and purchased a 15 acre plot of land
situated high up in the mountains of the parish of St. David’s.
The land was previously part of a larger nutmeg plantation and had
been neglected since Hurricane Ivan. After the 2004 hurricane, all trees
in the area were stripped of their leaves and badly affected by the salt
water the storm had carried into the mountains. The first plants that
started to come back were vines which soon took over, covering all the
bare tree trunks and the ground, leaving no space to breathe and grow
for saplings and strangling the rain forest trees.
Our organic farming & rainforest preservation project provides much
needed permanent employment for locals from the area in their natural
work field, and at the same time helps preserve a part of rainforest from
building development, saving and keeping the big rainforest trees (i.e.
nutmeg, breadfruit, cocoa etc.).
Organic farming of short crops between the existing trees complements
the existing supply for our Aquarium Restaurant. The farmers are
growing short crops including lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, herbs,
sweet peppers and local seasoning peppers which are thriving in the
rain forest climate between sugarcane, banana trees and the rainforest
trees. We are also harvesting from the pre-existing but cleared nutmeg
and avocado trees. Naturally growing bamboo was harvested for
construction and for an interior decorating project.

88. Grenada from a different angle.
To give our guests the opportunity to see the island from a totally different perspective,
we have put together programs that intend to tangibly link tourism, nature and
agriculture through the spirit of Maca Bana:
Through our special private tours, we introduce our interested guests to rural life in
Grenada and to the island’s natural and agricultural diversity. The guests can meet
farmers who are proud to share their culture.
The “slow food” tour is food-focused and guests can hand-pick their ingredients for
dinner. On the “nature & art appreciation” tour, guests experience the Spice Isle through
the eyes of an artist with the lush environment as an inspiration for landscape painting.
The trips aim to provide the guests with a better understanding of their holiday
destination.

89. Celebrate life.
