Forte Village spans over a 50-hectare park and boasts an extensive array of plant species. The resort takes great pride in its dedication to conservation and safeguarding the environment. A diligent team of gardeners collaborates with local authorities throughout the year to protect the natural surroundings, benefiting the entire community.

The resort employs an integrated and biologically-based system to control pests and diseases in the green areas.

Animal welfare is of utmost importance at Forte Village. The resort collaborates with a veterinarian to certify the well-being of its non-native fauna residing within the park.

The Kids Club at Forte Village offers dedicated programs aimed at educating the younger generation about the significance of adopting a sustainable environmental approach.

We are dedicated to continuously decreasing the amount of waste we produce and have implemented the following measures:

• 100% waste separation:
We ensure that all waste is properly separated and recycled across our food and operational departments. Additionally, we have placed dedicated recycling containers throughout the Resort for plastic and paper recycling.
• Correct disposal of special waste:
We adhere to proper disposal methods for handling special waste.
• Use of recycled and biocompatible materials:
Whenever possible, we utilize materials that are either recycled or biocompatible. This includes glass bottles, biodegradable straws, and FSC certified paper, which guarantees the responsible sourcing of paper products from environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable forests.
• Organic waste composting:
Currently, our organic waste is sent to an external composting plant where it is recycled into compost and soil improver for enriching and protecting the soil. However, we are actively working on implementing a food waste collection system that will convert it into compost for our 50-hectare garden in the near future.

The 800sqm congress center and Hotel Castello are fully powered by a photovoltaic system. The actual energy production varies throughout the year, and since its activation in October 2022, we have generated 23 Mw/h. Approximately 230 rooms in our Borgo, Palme, and Bougainville hotels utilize solar panels to generate hot water.

To promote energy efficiency, lighting in the gardens, grounds, and internal public areas is controlled by timing mechanisms and features LED lighting.

To minimize environmental impact, cars are prohibited within the resort. Instead, guests are transported by battery-powered golf carts, and bicycles are provided for both guests and staff. Moreover, the guest parking area is equipped with two electric car charging stations.

To conserve water and detergents, we only change sheets and towels in guest bedrooms on a daily basis upon specific request by the guest, aiming to minimize unnecessary washes.

At Forte Village, we prioritize water conservation. 800 cubic meters of “grey water” produced daily is purified and used to irrigate our 50 hectares of gardens. In just three days, the water saved could fill an Olympic-size pool. We also have a rainwater harvesting system with a 54 sq.m dam, storing 353,242 cubic meters of water for irrigation—equivalent to 141 Olympic-size pools. Our commitment to water conservation creates an environmentally responsible guest experience.

In order to compensate the amount of CO2 produced with transfers from and to Cagliari airport in 2022 (estimated to 47.540 kg), Forte Village partnered with the local DMC FA Travel to plant 1000 trees. The first stage saw the plating of 200 trees on the 23 April 2023: it involved several employed from both companies who actively planted a selection of Carob, wild olive, wild pear, almond in the local area.

The majority of our produce is sourced from local farms and fisheries, ensuring freshness and high quality. Additionally, we maintain an on-site vegetable garden to provide guests with a constant supply of fresh produce.

Forte Village features eight 4 and 5-star hotels, over 40 suites, and 13 villas. These accommodations were constructed or restored by local architects, emphasizing the use of natural materials that reflect Sardinian tradition. For example, Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa underwent a recent renovation, with a focus on minimizing human impact by utilizing natural materials like wood, granite, travertine, and “Biancone di Orosei,” a light beige marble sourced from a local Sardinian quarry.

Forte Village champions sustainable education and culture with its 5-star Hotel Management Business School. It raises awareness of Sardinian culture, local festivals, and heritage on a global scale. The resort sponsors an annual triathlon that helps shed light on local towns and their rich history. In collaboration with Palazzo Doglio, they successfully fundraised for a state-of-the-art mammogram machine, benefiting the city’s Oncological Hospital and supporting its crucial role in cancer care for the entire island.

Our 21 restaurants and staff canteen prioritize local food sourcing. Around 90% of our staff reside within a 50 km radius. We invest in staff selection, professional growth, and foster trust through training, evaluations, and incentives. Forte Village supports aspiring students with scholarships and a high-end hotel industry Master’s program. We partner with the Itennis Foundation, offering underprivileged children top-level tennis training.

Forte Village in partnership with Ogyre and the direct involvement of the fishermen of the near village of Teulada has just achieved a very special goal: the collection of 1000 kg of waste from the sea, to help preserve its extraordinary beauty which is renowned all around the world.
