Growing a Greener Stay: How Your Night at Avila Plants a Tree (Curaçao Edition)

Looking for a stay that does good while you unwind? Here’s exactly how your night at Avila plants a tree—and how your booking at Avila Beach Hotel in Curaçao turns a great vacation into real-world reforestation impact.

In this guide, you’ll learn how the program works, why Avila partners with Eden Reforestation Projects, what’s been achieved so far, and simple ways to amplify your positive impact during your stay.

Quick Answer: How does Avila plant a tree for my stay?

• Book directly via www.avilabeachhotel.com.
• For every room night you book, Avila funds the planting of one tree through Eden Reforestation Projects. Booking 7 nights = 7 trees.

The One-Tree-Per-Night Promise

In October 2019, Avila Beach Hotel launched a long-term cooperation with Eden Reforestation Projects. The commitment is clear and simple: one tree is planted for each room night booked directly via Avila’s website.

• Where trees are planted: Haiti, one of the most deforested countries in the world.
• Why Haiti: Trees are essential to ecosystems, and Haiti—regularly impacted by earthquakes and hurricanes—needs large-scale restoration. Planting where it’s needed most helps restore nature for current and future generations.
• Yearly ambition: On Avila’s website, the hotel set a goal to contribute 10,000 trees per year via direct bookings.

Milestone update (2019–2024): From October 2019 to October 2024, Avila Beach Hotel facilitated the planting of 58,864 trees. Together, we’re helping restore ecosystems and support communities.

Who Is Eden Reforestation Projects?

Eden Reforestation Projects is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that funds tree planting through on-the-ground partners across North America, South America, Asia, and Africa. Eden plants millions of additional trees each month and surpassed 250 million total trees planted in 2019.

What that means for your stay:

• Your direct booking triggers a tangible ecological action.
• Planting occurs in regions where reforestation yields outsized environmental and community benefits.
• The mechanism is straightforward, scalable, and aligned with widely accepted restoration approaches.

At-a-Glance: Your Booking’s Impact

• Action: Direct booking via avilabeachhotel.com
• Outcome: 1 tree planted per room night (7 nights = 7 trees)
• Location: Haiti (high-need reforestation)
• Ambition: 10,000 trees annually
• Progress: 58,864 trees planted (Oct 2019–Oct 2024)

Why Reforestation Matters (and Why This Model Works)

Reforestation is a proven, practical step toward healthier ecosystems. While forests take time to mature, planting today supports:

• Biodiversity: Trees provide habitat and support food webs.
• Soil and water health: Roots stabilize soil and improve watershed function.
• Climate benefits: Trees absorb carbon as they grow.
• Community resilience: Restoration work supports local livelihoods and long-term sustainability.

Avila’s approach is effective because it’s direct and repeatable: every qualifying booking equals a planted tree. That simple structure scales with occupancy—turning guest stays into steady restoration support.

How to Make Your Stay Count (and Count More)

1. Book direct. Only direct bookings via Avila’s website trigger the tree planting per room night.
2. Consider longer stays. If it fits your plans, more nights equal more trees.
3. Share the story. Tell friends or family traveling to Curaçao about Avila’s tree initiative.
4. Pair it with greener choices onsite:
   • Explore “5 tips to Travel with less plastic.”
   • Make use of the Water Refill Program Curaçao partnership.
   • Choose reef-safe sunscreen—Avila offers free reef-safe sunscreen for guests.
