This Commitment Charter embodies the vision of WOOD Hotel & Spa, an eco-friendly hotel in Reunion Island where every gesture matters.
Designed to guide our actions and inspire those of our partners, this charter reflects our desire to offer a form of hospitality that is sustainable, genuine, and deeply human.

We imagined a place that respects nature as much as it inspires those who stay here — a wooden hotel facing the ocean, where silence, light, and materials invite you to slow down… and reconnect with what truly matters.

WOOD Hotel & Spa is committed to becoming a reference in ethical and responsible hospitality, placing comfort, respect for life, and sustainability at the heart of every experience.

Saving energy

The architecture of WOOD Hotel & Spa is built on a bioclimatic design, carefully conceived to naturally reduce the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting.
Spaces are open to natural daylight, solar water heaters supply the entire property, and low-consumption LED lighting is used throughout.
Every detail — from design to technology — contributes to a thoughtful and balanced management of our energy footprint, a central commitment within our commitment charter.

Preserving water

On an island like Reunion, water is precious.
Our taps are fitted with low-consumption systems, our gardens are watered through drip irrigation, and linens are washed on request, or every three days, to reduce the impact of laundry on the environment.
These simple gestures are an integral part of our Commitment Charter for sustainable tourism.

Buying and collaborating differently

Our suppliers and partners share our values.
We prioritise short supply chains, local artisans, and eco-certified products.
Cleaning products are limited to what is strictly necessary, in order to protect the health of our teams and our guests.
And because hospitality should be inclusive, we are committed to continuous improvements to ensure accessibility for everyone.

Local and cultural roots

To be sustainable also means honouring the culture and craftsmanship of our island.
As an eco-responsible hotel in Reunion Island, we value and promote local producers, artists, and artisans through our partnerships, events, and cuisine.
Each experience at WOOD Hotel & Spa is anchored in a living and authentic territory, reflecting the vibrant soul of Reunion.

Facilitating access and mobility for all

Our vision of sustainable tourism extends to the way guests travel to us, move around once here, and fully experience the WOOD spirit.
We encourage low-impact modes of transportation — bus, carpooling, cycling, or walking — and provide practical information to make soft mobility easy and accessible.

La Réunion pour tousBecause a responsible stay is also one that is accessible to everyone, the WOOD Hotel & Spa is committed to welcoming each guest in the best possible conditions.
In collaboration with the association La Réunion Pour Tous, we have initiated a process of evaluation and continuous improvement of our accessibility standards to ensure optimal comfort for guests with disabilities.
Several members of our team have been trained in specific accessibility practices, and we continue to adapt our facilities and services to make this hospitality truly universal.

Mobility — whether environmental or human — is an essential part of our vision of sustainable and inclusive tourism.

Reducing waste and encouraging recycling

Zero plastic is our goal.
Plastic water bottles have been replaced with filtered water carafes, guest amenities are offered in refillable dispensers, and our teams sort and compost up to 50 kg of organic waste every day.
A daily commitment that is gradually transforming our practices — and our habits.

Preserving biodiversity

Our gardens are made up of more than 70% endemic plant species, grown without the use of chemicals.
Outdoor lighting has been carefully designed to limit light pollution and protect the coexistence with surrounding seabirds.
Here, nature is not a backdrop — it is our ally.

Training, raising awareness and involving everyone

The commitments of WOOD Hotel & Spa come to life through the women and men who bring them to life every day.
Each team member is trained in sustainable development principles and actively contributes to ongoing improvement initiatives.
Through articles, displays, and gentle reminders, we also raise awareness among our guests, inviting them — at their own pace — to take part in this collective journey.

Towards a sustainable and inspiring hospitality

Notre ambition : faire du WOOD Hotel & Spa une référence de l’hôtellerie écoresponsable à La Réunion et obtenir la certification Ecolabel Européen d’ici 2026.
Une reconnaissance officielle de nos actions, mais surtout une étape vers un tourisme plus respectueux, plus humain, plus conscient.

Une destination engagée

Staying at WOOD Hotel & Spa means choosing an eco-friendly hotel in Reunion Island that combines comfort, authenticity, and respect for nature.
Our approach is part of a global movement towards more conscious tourism, where every action — from the choice of materials to water management — reflects our commitment to sustainability.
We believe it is possible to offer a high-end experience while preserving the wild beauty of La Pointe des Diamants.

At WOOD Hotel & Spa, our Commitment Charter is not a static document — it is a living promise, guided by passion, materials, and nature.
A place to dream… and to act differently.
