Amazing Luxurious Eco-Friendly Hotels For Your Next Trip

There are a lot of ways that the travel industry is negatively impacting the environment, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing you can do to try to help. One of the best ways to help is by heading to an eco-friendly hotel, as often many accommodations are not environmentally friendly at all. As time progresses and the negative impact of non-eco practices become clearer, a lot of hotels have started to incorporate more sustainable practices. It is definitely possible to continue running a high-end hotel but also help conserve resources. Here are some incredible eco-friendly hotels that are still quite luxurious.

Mumbo Island, Malawi

Mumbo Island is located in Malawi and is a rustic eco-hotel that’s located right on the Lake Malawi National Park. It’s an amazing destination for anyone that’s looking to disconnect and rediscover their connection to nature.

Here you won’t find any Wifi, electricity, or cell phone service, so it’s the perfect place for a digital detox. That way you can instead use your time to focus on snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, kayaking, incredible food, and of course, a cocktail by the stunning sunset.

1 Hotel Central Park, NYC
