Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa Announces Membership of The Florida Green Lodging Program

At One Palm Level from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection

Sanibel Harbour, Fla. – April 24, 2008 – Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, a relaxed yet sophisticated resort tucked among 85-acres of exquisite coastal scenery, is now an official member of the Florida Green Lodging Program at the One Palm level given by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

As a promise to conserve and protect Florida’s natural resources, the property has implemented "green" practices such as water conservation, energy efficiency, recycling programs, waste reduction, eco-friendly products and clean air practices. As part of the clean air practices, all guest rooms and suites are cleaned with all natural green products that are non-toxic and biodegradable yet clean the rooms without hurting the environment.

"Our team of associates are very pleased to earn this level of achievement within the green effort and are already working toward the next level," says, Cory Clark, general manager of Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa. "Our property is a natural fit with the green certification as we are settled within a nature preserve and have maintained the integrity of the area while continuing to offer four-diamond service and experience to our customers."

Presenting more than 380 rooms and suites, the classic Southwest Florida escape presents exhilarating views of its natural surroundings. The seven dining options include everything from casual pool fare to decadent steak restaurant. The Sanibel Harbour Princess, the resorts’ own 100-foot luxury yacht offers nightly sunset dinner and Sunday brunch cruises. The 40,000 square-foot Spa at Sanibel Harbour has been named among the "Top 10 Spa Resorts in the U.S." by Condé Nast Traveler and offers 29 treatment rooms with one of only 16 in the world, BETAR (Bio Energetic Transduction Aided Resonance) sound beds, which creates energy wave impulses with aromatherapy providing a totally holistic experience.

The 85-acre resort is located on a private peninsula overlooking Sanibel and Captiva islands. Only 25 minutes from the Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, the resort is a recipient of the AAA Four-Diamond Award since 1992, as well as a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
