La Cala Resort, located just 30 minutes from Malaga airport and celebrating its 35th anniversary, has recently been awarded the prestigious GEO certification. This recognition highlights the resort's long-standing commitment to sustainability, driven by continuous investment from its owners, FBD Hotels & Resorts, as part of their broader ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy.
The resort's sustainability journey began in 1991 with the introduction of a water recycling system, which conserves freshwater by using regenerated water for its golf courses. More recently, La Cala has implemented a variety of eco-friendly initiatives, including transitioning to water-efficient Bermuda grass on its golf courses, installing extensive solar panels, and shifting from petrol to electric equipment.
These efforts reflect La Cala’s dedication to environmental and social responsibility, positioning the resort as a leader in sustainable golf tourism.
