With a deep understanding of its responsibility to lessen the impact of the travel experience, Bucuti & Tara is a testament to how luxury travel and sustainability can find balance and harmony through regenerative practices.

As undeveloped green spaces become harder to find on the island of Aruba, Bucuti & Tara worked with local stakeholders to create a nature preserve for the public to enjoy. Under its foundation for nature preservation, 30 acres of undeveloped land will serve as a sanctuary in the heart of the busy tourism district for visitors and locals alike.

On the front line of the climate crisis, Bucuti & Tara aims to surpass its Carbon Neutral status to become carbon negative by reforesting its nature preserve. The reforestation of the preserve will serve as a natural carbon sink where the carbon sequestration process can occur.

Bucuti & Tara understands its impact on the lives of people of Aruba and commits to staying involved in the community through programs such as spay and neuter clinics to address the abandoned pet population and supply collection for children through Pack for a Purpose.

A champion in sustainability, the resort offers tours of its sustainability program for schools and companies, showcasing the initiatives and accomplishments that have won them assorted awards and accolades for their pioneering work. Aside from presentations offered regionally on best practices, Bucuti & Tara strives to inspire guests during their stay with a green channel on the in-room TV featuring the resort’s green practices.
