Eco Hotels
Hotels aren’t usually the most eco-friendly. With so many visitors throughout the year using valuable resources like electricity and water, it’s obvious that it would leave a major environmental impact. However, more and more hotels have started investing in sustainable resources/practices. Here are a few of the Hotels that do it best:
Mumbo Island, Malawi. The small rustic luxury eco-hotel sits on the banks of Lake Malawi National Park and is the ultimate digital detox destination. For your entire stay, you won’t have access to WiFi, cell phone service or electricity. Instead, your days will be filled with exceptional scuba diving and snorkelling conditions, delicious food, a sunset cocktail hour, hiking, kayaking and relaxing in your bungalow with a lake view.
1 Hotel Central Park, NYC. designed using reclaimed materials and is an urban retreat inspired by nature. The hotel uses wood from New York City water towers or barns, painted brick, steel and copper accents, organic cotton mattresses and sheets, and plenty of live plants.
Jack’s Camp, Botswana. The luxury camp is off the grid with no WiFi available and has done its best to minimise its impact on the environment. The project aims to minimise human-wildlife conflict and ensure the wildlife migration routes are not impacted by growing tourism to the region.
