At Surya Villa, sustainability is not a marketing trend — it's a core value. We believe that hospitality and respect for nature can coexist, offering our guests a peaceful stay while minimizing environmental impact.
Located inside Auroville, a unique international community dedicated to human unity and ecological responsibility, Surya Villa applies simple but effective eco-friendly practices every day.
Our rooftop solar panels generate clean electricity to power much of the guest house — including lighting, appliances, and part of the air-conditioning system, reducing our dependency on the grid and lowering our carbon footprint.
Our double-glazed PVC windows ensure excellent thermal insulation, reducing the need for excessive air-conditioning, while offering acoustic comfort for a quiet stay.
We minimize water waste through low-flow faucets, water-saving toilets, and awareness among guests. All water is filtered and treated to ensure safety and quality.
We sort and recycle as much as possible, avoiding single-use plastics and promoting composting of organic waste in collaboration with Auroville waste management units.
We use biodegradable and non-toxic cleaning products for all housekeeping and laundry to protect your health and the environment.
Whenever possible, we purchase local and organic products from Auroville farms, bakeries and artisans, reducing transportation emissions and supporting the community.
An electric charging station (1.1kW) is available on-site for guests traveling with electric or hybrid vehicles, at an affordable rate of 2000 ₹ for a night charge.
By staying at Surya Villa, you actively support responsible tourism in Auroville. Every small action counts, and together we contribute to preserving this beautiful environment for future generations.
