Eco Retreats

A retreat where wellbeing meets sustainability

Now more than ever, protecting our planet matters. From cutting plastic and recycling to choosing sustainable travel, every choice we make counts. Our nature holidays partner with eco-conscious hotels and retreats that truly care for their surroundings. By using local materials, for example, reducing energy use, and growing their own produce. Choosing an eco stay means you can relax and recharge knowing you're also doing your bit to support a healthier planet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCES FOR ECO RETREATS

What actually makes a retreat "eco", beyond marketing language?

Genuine eco-credentials typically include measurable practices - renewable energy use, sustainable sourcing, waste reduction and conservation involvement - rather than just a general nature-adjacent aesthetic.

Are eco-retreats less comfortable than standard luxury retreats?

Not necessarily - many eco-retreats offer genuinely high standards of comfort and design, simply built with sustainability principles woven into how the property operates rather than sacrificing comfort.

What sustainability practices should I look for when choosing an eco-retreat?

Renewable energy use, water conservation, local and sustainable sourcing of food, and genuine environmental initiatives beyond surface-level messaging are all worth checking for.

Is the food at eco-retreats typically sourced locally?

Often, yes - locally-sourced, seasonal food is a common feature of genuine eco-retreats, both for sustainability reasons and because it tends to reflect the surrounding region more authentically.

Do eco-retreats involve any hands-on conservation activities?

Some do offer optional conservation activities, such as reef restoration or reforestation projects, though this varies significantly by property - worth checking if this is something you'd like to be part of.

How is energy and water typically managed at an eco-retreat?

This varies, but genuine eco-properties often use solar or other renewable energy sources, water recycling systems and general resource-conscious design throughout the property.

Are eco-retreats more expensive than conventional wellness retreats?

Not necessarily - pricing depends more on the overall property tier than its eco-credentials specifically, with genuinely eco-conscious options available across a range of price points.

Which destinations are leading the way for genuine eco-retreats?

Costa Rica is particularly well known for its strong national commitment to sustainability, and this filters through into a genuinely established eco-retreat scene there.

Can I trust that a retreat's eco-credentials are genuine?

It's worth looking for specific, verifiable practices rather than vague claims - genuine eco-retreats are usually happy to detail their specific sustainability measures if you ask.

Is an eco-retreat a good fit if sustainability matters to me personally?

Yes - if environmental impact is a genuine priority for you, choosing a retreat with verifiable eco-credentials allows your travel choices to align more closely with your values.
