Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is headed by a celebrated environmentalist, who ensures the resort walks the walk of best sustainability practices. It’s LEED Gold certified and the first and only Carbon Neutral resort in the Caribbean that enforces sustainable best practices and also engages in community environmental and socially conscious initiatives, including protecting sea turtle nests on the beach, animal rights on the island, spaying and neutering stray dogs and cats, and supports a local donkey sanctuary and a move to eliminate plastics from Aruba.
 
Its owner’s latest initiative, in celebration of the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort’s 35th anniversary, creates a legacy for visitors and residents of Aruba, in the form of the partnering with other locals to donate 30 acres of the last remaining, undeveloped green space of private land in one of the busiest parts of the island as a nature preserve for permanent public enjoyment.
