The host's philosophy
At Tinos Eco Lodge, the goal is to offer a stay for the conscious traveller in harmony with the island's natural resources, autonomously managing energy, water and waste. Each lodge was built from stone sourced on-site by Tinian stonemasons, following a design that integrates natural light and passive solar thermal heating. The hosts believe in decentralised solutions: growing their own food, treating their wastewater and composting their organic waste represents for them a cleaner and more resilient alternative to conventional living.
How to get here without a car
When to visit?
Spring (April-May) is the ideal time: the island is lush and green, covered in wild flowers, perfect for hiking along marked trails and gathering aromatic herbs. Summer remains appealing thanks to the water self-sufficiency provided by the cisterns and the beaches just a short distance away.
Local producers involved
The lodge produces and delivers weekly baskets of organic vegetables to local restaurants and neighbouring residences. Olive oil, jams and homemade raki are crafted from the estate's harvests (olive trees, mulberry trees, vines, orchard). Certified Permaculture Design Courses (PDC) have been organised annually since 2019.
