At Breezes, the environment and the local community are integrated in the hotel’s operations.
All villas have photovoltaic systems and the hotel has a well-functioning waste sorting and recycling system. You have your own herb garden, where a large part of the restaurants’ need for vegetables comes from.
The hotel has its own desalination plant to produce drinking water. Fresh water is a scarce commodity in Zanzibar, and in this way it does not burden the local community’s water resources.
Goods and services are ordered and purchased locally.
When the sister hotel The Palms was opened, it was also decided to support the local hotel school. This has ultimately meant that over 90% of employees come from Zanzibar. That means stable income for many families.
When the hotel was built, local craftsmen were hired for the task.
