Sustainability is at the core of operations at Inchydoney hotel. For over 15 years, the hotel has been a Calor LPG customer and recently decided to make the sustainably conscious switch to Calor BioLPG, our 100% renewable energy. The hotel has also switched their electricity usage to renewable energy with the electricity sourced from water power.

The commitment to sustainability runs throughout the hotel with significant investment in environmentally conscious choices. The hotel is home to one of Ireland’s largest solar arrays which has been generating electricity since 2006.

Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa takes its position as caretaker and guardian of its immediate environment very seriously, and is undergoing an extensive project to enhance and protect the natural beauty of the headland of Inchydoney Island.

Speaking about their sustainability initiatives, Des O’Dowd said: “I am so proud of how far the hotel has come on our sustainability journey. We are constantly looking at ways we can make better choices for the hotel and for the environment here at Inchydoney. This informed our thinking and is one of the main reasons we made the switch to Calor BioLPG. One of the great things about choosing this cleaner fuel option and working with Calor, is that our gas is automatically topped up when we are running low. It’s one less thing we have to worry about. I look forward to see what else we can implement on our sustainability journey here at Inchydoney”.
