Selina:

What has attracted attention since 2017, when Selina’s first opened its doors in Antigua – aside from the hotel’s impressive architecture, innovative outlook and cosy work/life co-working spaces – was the company’s enormous commitment to the local community.

Selina offers highly attractive facilities such as a spacious swimming pool, an incredible cinema room and an attractive library, surrounded by Spanish Baroque architecture and its ruins as well as the infamous Acatenango volcano. Spending a few days in Antigua can be a trip that evokes the seventeenth century.

Local Community:

And there is still something more for those who seek all of that. Guests arriving are focused on the environment and want to share their skills and talents with the local community. They often include enthusiastic Millennials and Digital Nomads. These eco-pioneer guests have joined the Antigua unit team in their dedication to improve art, education and the local environment. This has created an additional benefit, an increase in local ecotourism.

Ecological projects:

From the offset in Antigua, Selina has thought out and established partners for its sustainable business initiatives, with the aim of contenting, collaborating and creating viable ecological and community based projects. Among them is ‘Selina Gives Back’, a program empowering the local community with the ethos of ‘actions that make a difference’.

Positive impacts:

The variety of the positive impacts includes supporting the local culture, replanting the forest, as well as cleaning up the assets of the community. Local families continue to be empowered through training programs. Selina residents also teach English, guitar, and healthy eating habits and cooking skills for kids with the Chef Kids Program.

With the support of Selina, ecological tourism has been developed with gastronomic tours, and promotion of sales of local crafts. All proceeds from these initiatives are reinvested in the local education fund.

Selina Antigua is a remarkable recommendation of sustainable tourism with all the pleasures of a beautiful stay.
