LOS ANGELES, California – Mr. and Mrs. Cothran’s dream became a reality when Little Arches Boutique Hotel opened its doors in 2002. Located at one of the best unspoiled Barbados beaches, this little gem has emerged as a top Caribbean destination and a tenacious leader in sustainable tourism and community service.
“At Little Arches we are committed to preserving our environment,” said Sandra Edwards, General Manager at Little Arches. “We believe that we should be responsible for ensuring that a legacy is left for our children, and collectively contribute to making the world a better place. We take pride in complying with the Green Globe standards in many ways. Being responsible means that our chef sources local fresh produce, all our staff members are local Bajans, eco-friendly practices, such as composting, reducing, reusing, and recycling are implemented throughout the property.”
The team at Little Arches does all within their power to conserve the natural eco systems and habitats, with special concerns for the near shore environment and coral reefs. Beach clean-ups and educational seminars, raising awareness for environmental concerns, are organized by the hotel on a regular basis.
“Giving Back” is part of the philosophy at Little Arches, and the hotel works closely with the Variety Club of Barbados, dedicated to supporting the sick, disadvantaged and disabled children of Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean. The charity provides sunshine coaches for the Children’s Development Center, The Chancellor School, The Ursaline Schools, and the Sunshine Early Stimulation Center in Barbados.
Little Arches is a proud member of the “Pack for a Purpose” initiative, which encourages travelers to utilize space in their luggage to provide supplies to the communities they visit. “Small Space, Little Effort, Big Impact” – travelers can check on the specific needs requested by community projects to choose exactly what to pack for a purpose, and to express gratitude to the local community with the supplies they bring.
“Through the ‘Pack for a Purpose’ program we support public schools situated in most of the 11 parishes of Barbados, serving 360 children between the ages of 3 and 13 years old. Our guests can make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children by bringing supplies for area schools in need. Philanthropy can be part of your vacation,” added Sandra Edwards.
