Our Commitment to Protecting the Planet

Because True Hospitality Respects Its Setting

Since opening in 2008, Coquillade Provence has made one thing clear: protecting our environment is not an afterthought—it’s integral to how we operate. Set within the rich natural tapestry of the Luberon, the resort was designed from the start with a commitment to architectural integrity, ecological responsibility, and the kind of stewardship that keeps this place as pristine as our guests find it.

Our sustainability approach is hands-on, embedded in daily practice, and driven by common sense:

Food waste is minimal by design. We prep based on real-time reservations, and any surplus goes to our staff dining hall.
Our bakery uses only organic flour for house-made bread and pastries. Breakfast honey? That comes from our own beehives.
Cleaning is chemical-conscious. All products used are eco-certified, and water-saving fixtures reduce usage without compromise—our average flow rate is under 8.5L/min.
Our gardens are rooted in place. You’ll find native flora—olive trees, rosemary, lavender—plus a 4,000m² organic vegetable patch supplying our restaurants.
Staff are part of the solution. Annual sustainability training, green guides, and waste-sorting tools keep everyone engaged.
Our forested land is protected. We manage undergrowth to reduce fire risk, and encourage low-impact discovery through guided hikes and cycling in the Parc Naturel Régional du Luberon.

Because if luxury isn’t also responsible, then what’s it really worth?

Culture, Community & Carbon

Rooted in Place. Responsible by Nature.

At Coquillade Provence, sustainability isn’t a silo—it’s embedded in how we care for the land, engage with our community, and run our operations. From preserving Provençal heritage to cutting carbon, our efforts are driven by integrity and transparency.

Culture

We believe travel should deepen connection—to people, place, and history. That’s why we guide guests to experience the Luberon through its natural wonders and cultural landmarks: the ochre hills, the Sénanque Abbey, and the patchwork of villages and vineyards that make this region unforgettable. Our estate’s own vineyard is certified organic—and yes, we invite guests to taste it for themselves.

Community

We aim to create shared value. That means investing in local livelihoods, supporting environmental education, and contributing to regional resilience through responsible tourism and ethical business practices.

Carbon

Aware of the climate cost of overconsumption, we’ve implemented concrete measures to reduce our emissions and energy use:

Our electricity is 100% green, sourced from wind and solar.
Geothermal heating powers the property without emitting CO₂.
Energy and water use is digitally monitored, with anomalies flagged and tracked.
Over 99% of lighting is high-efficiency (Class A).
Bathroom amenities are refillable, with extras available only on request to cut single-use waste.
Guestroom reminders encourage thoughtful behavior around energy and water use.
Employee bikes and carpooling help reduce emissions beyond the resort gates.

This isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing what matters, consistently and transparently.
