Things to keep in mind

We care for the environment solar energy

Our energy is 100% solar and we are disconnected from the public grid. We have a backup generator if necessary. It is not possible to use equipment that has electrical resistance such as: a hair dryer, flat iron, iron, etc.

Biodegradable products

Water treatment is done locally with natural systems. Because of this, it is only allowed to use hygiene products (soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc.) that are 100% biodegradable. Our guests already receive a basic kit. If you want more options, we have them available at the Plante! store, the local community laboratory that produces these products.

Waste

All generated waste ("garbage") is separated and sent to the appropriate places:

Organic: they are composted and become fertilizer for our soil.

Dry: they are cleaned, separated, and sent for recycling Non-Recyclable: they turn ecological bricks from a pet bottle to build walls in an ecological way.

Dry toilets

The dry toilet technology makes it possible to transform urine and feces into a rich fertilizer for the soil, and even more: without contaminating a single drop of water!

Because of this, all public toilets (outside the rooms) at Unah Piracanga is dry, and some huts, located closer to the mangrove, also use this ecological technology.

At Unah Piracanga restaurant, we believe that our relationship with food can revolutionize the world. We cook 100% plant-based meals, healthy and with a fine touch of sophistication. We prioritize organic and local ingredients, prepared with a balance of flavor, texture, and aromas. Our dishes are plentiful and ensure that our audience leaves satisfied.
