Hand in Hand with Nature (and Cork)
“Ombria Resort is committed to a mission of sustainability and protection of nature, moved by values such as economic, environmental and social responsibility, in order to implement an exceptional development which is in harmony with its natural surroundings and local communities of the Algarve Barrocal,” said the resort.
The resort’s construction is using Diathonite Thermactive, an insulating plaster created by Diasen, which is “recognised for the quality of its ecological, natural and 100% safe products created using elements such as Portuguese cork and hydraulic lime for maximum thermal comfort and safety.”

As the resort points out, Portugal is known for being the main cork producer in the world. The country accounts for 50% of the world’s production and 60% of exports.
