Our pillars
Three commitments, measured
Sustainability at Diamante is not a marketing line. It is written into how the park is built, staffed and run — and it is audited by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute.
Supporting our community
Local hiring — 98% of the team lives in Guanacaste — plus local suppliers, school workshops, community clean-ups, cultural activities, senior programmes and environmental education.
Operating responsibly
Solar panels, energy-saving practices, recycling, eco-marchamos vehicle certification, efficient lighting, water-saving systems and continuous improvement.
In action
Sun, technology and the wild
One of the biggest steps in recent years was installing solar panels, which now supply a significant share of the park’s electricity. It is an investment in renewable energy and a direct cut to our ecological footprint.
The education team takes conservation into local classrooms. Diamante Talks introduces children to wildlife protection and gives them practical ways to help. The Let’s Protect the Ocean workshop covers marine wildlife, plastic pollution, sustainable fishing and the role of technology in conservation.
The sanctuary itself is part of the work: every rescued animal that cannot return to the wild becomes an ambassador, and the breeding programmes support species that need help across Central America.
Standards
Certifications and recognition
Independent certification is how guests can check a sustainability claim rather than take it on trust.

SICCS certification

5 Star Blue Flag beach
