Smart Energy Management Guest rooms and suites are enhanced with smart thermostats that, when unoccupied or with open balcony doors, automatically regulate the air conditioning.

Energy Conservation To promote a sustainable lifestyle, there are special offers and discounted rates for local residents, encouraging them to enjoy "staycations" and reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance travel. Eco-conscious Transportation In support of eco-conscious transportation, there are six electric vehicle charging stations available, including Tesla charging points. Among these, five are versatile universal chargers, while one is exclusively designated for Tesla vehicles, equipped with adapters to accommodate various electric vehicles.

Eco-conscious transportation options are also available, including bike sharing and electric vehicle car rentals, to enable guests to minimize their carbon footprint during their stay. Jogging maps are also avilable for those guests looking to take in the scenery by foot rather than vehicle.

WATER

Water Conservation Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has gone the extra mile by installing water- efficient fixtures and pressure-reducing valves in its facilities, a proactive measure aimed at curbing water consumption and fostering a culture of water conservation. The water features a state-of-the-art closed-loop chilled water system equipped with a self-regulating cooling tower, designed to minimize water loss and optimize energy consumption. Water Quality To ensure the highest water quality standards, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has invested in water softeners and filtration systems throughout the premises. These devices effectively eliminate impurities, guaranteeing top-tier water quality for guests. Water Management Throughout Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, the property is equipped with pressure-assisted toilets, specifically designed to reduce water waste and enhance overall water efficiency.

Towel and Linen Reuse Program Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has instituted a towel and linen reuse program as part of their dedication to preserving natural resources. Fresh linens are provided every third day to minimize waste. Guests are encouraged to join the program, allowing them to choose whether to reuse towels during their stay or opt for a refresh.

In every guest room, guests are given a message regarding the program:

Our Ocean is important to us. With a name like Eau, and the Atlantic on our doorstep, we know the ocean is a big part of our magic. As part of our dedication to preserve and protect our natural resources, a fresh set of linens will be provided every third day.

Your conversation efforts will help save thousands of gallons of water - and greatly reduce the amount of detergent we use - thank you!

Partnerships: Loggerhead Marine Center

Sea turtles hold a special place in Eau Palm Beach’s hearts. From March to October, the beach becomes a haven for many sea turtle nests, offering a chance for guests or staff to witness the amazing sight of hatchlings making their way to the sea! During this important turtle season, the protection of these incredible creatures is taken seriously.

The security team ensures that all indoor and outdoor lights visible from the beach comply with the Manalapan town ordinance, shielding, repositioning, or turning them off after dark to ensure the nesting sea turtles are undisturbed.

Annually, Eau Palm Beach proudly contributes donations to the sea turtle hospital at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, recognizing its vital role in ocean conservation and sea turtle protection. Alongside vigilantly monitoring the beach for sea turtle nests, the resort actively engages guests by hosting informative discussions and sessions focused on educating visitors about the essential role of turtles in preserving the ecosystem. At Eau Palm Beach, the team cherishes these incredible creatures and is committed to their well-being and conservation.

DID YOU KN-EAU? The History of State Road A1A from Boynton Beach to Palm Beach State Road A1A, originally stretching from the northern U.S. to Miami, once ran between the ocean and the original La Coquille Club, now the site of Eau Palm Beach. Due to hurricane damage between 1939 and 1964, sections of A1A were abandoned and relocated inland, leaving the old road submerged near the resort’s beach. Today, this sunken section, about 100 feet from the seawall, has become a protected artificial reef, providing habitat for diverse marine life and serving as a unique snorkeling spot for guests. By preserving this reef, our resort supports biodiversity, protects coastlines, and contributes to broader sustainability and conservation efforts. For safety, complimentary water shoes and snorkel gear are provided.

WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON? Eau Spa Exciting changes are on the horizon at Eau Spa! Guests can anticipate the introduction of eco-friendly bamboo cups and sleeves in Eau Zone areas. Media In the commitment to illustrating its journey towards sustainability, Eau Palm Beach plans to emphasize sharing a range of eco-friendly practices on social media, with a focus on promoting social responsibility and highlighting the sustainable initiatives the resort is implementing.
