At Soko Hotels Pont du Gard, sustainable tourism isn’t just a nice idea — it’s at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be candidates for the Green Key label, the leading international eco-label that recognizes hotels for their eco-friendly and socially responsible practices.
Nestled in the heart of the Gard region, our boutique hotel follows a strict sustainability charter, meeting over a hundred demanding criteria designed to protect nature, support local resources, and promote well-being for all.
Why this commitment?
Because we’re lucky enough to be located at the very core of nature itself — in the charming Occitan village of Remoulins, right within the Gorges du Gardon, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. But this privileged setting is also fragile, facing the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss.
Preserving this exceptional environment while offering our guests the best possible experience is simply common sense. The hospitality industry is among the most polluting sectors in the world — and we choose not to be part of that problem.
Instead of guilt-tripping our guests, we gently invite them to join us in small but meaningful eco-friendly gestures — gestures that make their stay even more memorable. From insect hotels in our garden to inspire children about biodiversity, to homemade jams prepared right here instead of industrial products, every detail reflects our values.
Our charter is a genuine expression of what we stand for: combining hospitality, ecological awareness, and sincere engagement for a more sustainable kind of tourism.
We take concrete steps to reduce waste and preserve natural resources, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our hotel.
During the renovation of our historic building, we implemented key eco-friendly upgrades:
Roof insulation and double-glazed windows
Water-saving taps and high-efficiency toilet systems
LED lighting with automatic sensors
We also apply eco-conscious waste management practices:
Recycling bins in every room
Organic waste composted and reused in our kitchen garden
Collection and recycling of used cooking oils
To promote green mobility, we provide an electric vehicle charging station and proudly hold the Accueil Vélo label, guaranteeing a warm welcome for cyclists.
Our philosophy is simple: proving that comfort and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Our hotel is set within a beautifully restored early 20th-century manor house — a choice made deliberately to respect local heritage and avoid unnecessary land development.
Just a short walk from the iconic Pont du Gard, we actively encourage our guests to explore and appreciate this cultural treasure.
Surrounded by stunning landscapes, we offer a range of eco-friendly experiences:
Nature walks with our passionate local guide Chemins Magiques
Bike tours, canoeing, and kayaking with Pura Vida, delivered directly to the hotel
Access to the local cycling map via QR code, thanks to LiO Plan, for easy route planning
By sharing these natural and cultural riches with our guests, we hope to foster curiosity, respect, and collective action toward preservation.
Proud of the rich terroir of the Gard, we work exclusively with local farmers and winemakers, ensuring that our restaurant showcases dishes made from the freshest regional ingredients.
Our menu evolves with the seasons, in harmony with nature, guaranteeing both authenticity and quality.
Our very own kitchen garden supplies us with ultra-fresh produce — grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers — reducing our carbon footprint and supporting responsible agriculture.
In our boutique, you’ll find carefully selected local products, including:
Wines from Domaine Mas de Jallon in Fournès and Domaine de la Tour in Beaucaire
Honey from Le Rucher des Escaunes in Sernhac
Natural skincare from Un Mas en Provence in Bellegarde
For us, buying local and making eco-conscious choices isn’t just a strategy — it’s a heartfelt conviction.
We believe in the power of small everyday actions. That’s why we display friendly reminders in each room to encourage:
Turning off lights when leaving
Using water mindfully
Sorting and recycling waste
It’s simple, easy, and makes a real difference. Together, we can shape a more sustainable future.
While we prioritize local sourcing wherever possible, we’re equally careful when looking beyond our region. We only collaborate with brands whose values align with ours — truly ethical, eco-friendly, and socially responsible.
Forget greenwashing — that’s not our style.
That’s why we’ve selected Nuxe, pioneers in clean, cruelty-free, vegan skincare, for our in-room amenities. For your coffee and tea, we partner with La Maison du Bon Café, known for their artisanal know-how and commitment to sustainable sourcing.
Choosing responsible partners is not just a decision for us — it’s a promise.
At Soko Hotels, we operate like one big family. Every team member’s voice matters. We regularly hold team meetings, fostering a culture of listening, sharing, and continuous improvement.
Work-life balance is a priority here. Even during the high season, our staff enjoys two consecutive days off per week and no overtime.
We believe that team cohesion makes all the difference, so we organize shared meals and team-building activities to nurture that spirit of togetherness.
Equality and inclusivity are also at the core of our philosophy. We strictly respect gender balance within our team and embrace diversity — everyone is welcome, regardless of background or orientation.
Because sustainable tourism is not only about the planet — it’s also about people.
Our sustainability charter is just the beginning. We know that true eco-responsibility means constantly learning, questioning, and evolving. That’s why we stay tuned to the feedback from our guests, our team, and our local community — so we can keep moving forward, together.
It only takes a few small steps to turn your holiday into a breath of fresh air — and we’re here to guide you every step of the way (or pedal stroke!).
🌿 Leave your car behind and explore with LiO Occitanie, the region’s easy, eco-friendly public transport network. Prefer to drive? No problem — we offer electric vehicle charging stations on-site, plus fast-charging points at the Right Bank of the Pont du Gard (with postcard-worthy views!).
🚴♀️ Hop on a bike and explore the area with our partner Pura Vida, who delivers bikes straight to the hotel. They also offer canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding for a gentle glide on the local waters.
🌳 Love nature? Join Loïc from Chemins Magiques for a magical 3-hour guided walk through the local flora and fauna — pure immersion just minutes from your room. Prefer a self-guided hike? Check out our favorite walking trails here!
