Local Discount
Kow Gwe is an initiative of The Torarica Group to support local residents with discounts on hotel rooms, food & beverages, wellness, and massages. This program focuses on improving quality of life amid economic challenges. The discount applies to all three hotels and emphasizes Torarica's commitment to community connection and inclusivity. A valid Surinamese ID or residence permit is required to take advantage of the offer. Discounts cannot be combined with other specials or promotions.
Torarica Community Fund
The Torarica Community Fund (formerly the Henk Vos Foundation) has been supporting social and tourism projects in Suriname since 1992. With donations from guests, the fund contributes to education, renovations, and wellness initiatives, among other things. Guests can easily donate via “Round Up” options or donation boxes within the Torarica Group hotels. Only non-profit organizations can submit projects, provided they contribute to tourism and fit within the fund's objectives. Donations to individuals, religious, or political projects are excluded. Every contribution helps build a better future in Suriname.
