A Guide to Sustainable Hospitality: Our Commitment to a Greener Frigiliana

Introduction: Our Love for This Place

Sustainability at AMARA isn't just a policy; it's a heartfelt expression of our love and respect for the unique natural beauty, cultural heritage, and community of Frigiliana. It’s about ensuring the magic of this place—the glow of whitewashed walls in the Andalusian sun, the scent of jasmine in the alleys, the breathtaking views of the Sierra de Almijara and the azure Mediterranean—endures for generations to come.

Our commitment is to offer more than just accommodation; we aim to provide a space that exists in harmony with its surroundings. A stay with us isn't about sacrifice; it's about a deeper, more authentic connection to Andalusia. We invite you to be not just a tourist, but a temporary guardian of this beautiful corner of the world.
