Frangipani Beach Resort

In Anguilla, this luxury boutique resort generates 80 percent of its power via on-site solar panels, but that’s not the only place you’ll spot the family-owned property’s sustainability efforts. Keep your eyes peeled for thoughtful and impactful touches such as LED lighting, lighting timers, reusable cups and water-filling stations.

Hotel Belmar

Costa Rica is known as an eco-friendly travel hub and Hotel Belmar is no exception to this. The property is the first carbon-neutral hotel in Monteverde and, in 2022, achieved climate positive status. Make sure to ask about the hotel’s Offset Your Footprint program, which allows you to help offset environmental impact on the region caused by tourism and other factors.

Ocean Club Resorts, Providenciales

In Turks & Caicos, Ocean Club Resorts is doing something similar to Hotel Belmar, offering guests a carbon footprint calculator that allows them to offset the eco-impact from their stays. The resort makes its own environmental efforts as well, with LED lighting and paper drink and food packaging. The property is one of the first in the Turks & Caicos to be Green Globe Certified.
