Wave Of Change
The essence of Iberostar has always been the ocean, with our beginnings in the Mediterranean island of Palma de Mallorca and with over 80% of our resorts being oceanfront. As such, the conservation and protection of the ocean is essential to us. Wave of Change is a pioneering initiative to reduce the use of plastics, to promote responsible consumption of seafood and improve coastal health.
Aliveness
We happen to be huge proponents of health and wellness. For the mind and body, our Aliveness concept invites you to disconnect from your day-to-day and reconnect with yourself, your loved ones and the environment around you. Through activities and entertainment, such as sunrise and sunset beach walks, social hours and local cuisine cooking workshops, guests discover new aspects of themselves.
Honest Food
Encompassing our Honest Food philosophy, guests will experience all-inclusive culinary delights engineered by an Iberostar nutritionist that incorporate healthy, locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Responsible sourcing and sustainability are key in the preparation process to ensure the highest quality gastronomic experience. Whether eating seasonal lobster or a craft burger by the pool, dishes are prepared daily by our acclaimed chefs.

Star Camp
With our properties that meet our high Family Suitable criteria, Star Camp features an environment for kids to play and learn unlike any other kids club. Based on the approach of multiple intelligences, which advocates building intelligence through the interrelation and cooperation between people, Star Camp is divided into three different age groups, each with its own exclusive space: Monkeys (4-7 years old), Dolphins (8-12 years old), and Eagles (13-17 years old). Each group has unique educational and recreational activities, over 140 of them, all in the same educational orbit of Wave of Change.
- Our hotels are free of single-use plastics and they’ll be waste-free by 2025. We avoid using 692 metric tons of plastic and wasting more than 500,000 meals’ worth of food in one year.
- We have a research lab and 5 coral nurseries, 3 mangrove nurseries with 14,400 trees, and 3 coastal dune nurseries.
- At our hotels, 78% of the fish consumed comes from sustainable sources. This figure will be 100% by 2025.
- By 2030, we’ll be carbon neutral, 20 years before the target date for our sector. In 2022, we reduced our energy consumption by 5.7%, or the equivalent of what 6,000 homes consume annually in Spain.
