A hotel deeply rooted in nature and organic living

Rancho Los Lobos is a nature hideaway surrounded by the Natural Park Los Alcornocales in Andalusia and is run by Baraba and Karl, a dedicated team who take care of every detail of the hotel and their aim is to provide a holiday experience via mindfulness and connection with nature. 

Sustainability and organic living are rooted in the manifesto of the hotel, achieved mainly by growing their own vegetables and fertilising their crops with organic horse and chicken manure. The majority of their water originates from their own well and is cleansed using a Crystallus filter system. Additionally, plastic bottles are prohibited at  Rancho Los Lobos and they avoid using plastic foil in the kitchen as much as possible; instead, wrapping food in silicone or oilcloth. 

However, sustainability is not the only thing that the founders focus on. Barbara also co-founded The Kenyan NGUVU Edu Sport Program, which uses sport and a holistic learning approach to teach social skills and positive values to socially disadvantaged children and young adults. Each child is encouraged and strengthened individually for a better future as they gain respect, tolerance, and fairness.
