- The central villa at Kumbuk River Resort is in the shape of an elephant and there are only rooms for 10 guests at any one time. Waterfalls and beaches are a short trip away including one of the world’s best beaches for surfing, Arugam Bay and it sits on the edge of Yala, one of Sri Lanka’s premier wildlife sanctuaries.
As well as the on-site Marine Ecology Research Centre’s work protecting the endangered Giant Clams, there is a reef program at Gayana Eco Resort off the coast of Malaysian Borneo that regenerates coral and plants artificial structures. Take it all in from one of the 52 overwater villas designed to enhance the sounds of the surf below.
This hotel is 100 per cent powered by biofuel, enlists comprehensive recycling and is constructed mainly of sustainable construction materials, ticking all the eco boxes. In addition to this the resort is involved in turtle and bird rescue projects, but none of this comes at the expense of the experience. Guests rave about the 5-star services at this remote paradise.
You would be hard pressed to find a more remote or exotic eco resort than the Four Rivers Floating Lodge on a bend of the Tatai River in southern Cambodia. The resort is a series of floating pontoons, is only accessible by boat and its eco credentials include a largely local staff and solar power. Leave your phone at home though, this one is technology-free.
One of Laos’ original eco-lodges, the Boat Landing Guest House in Luang Namtha is close to a number of ethnic villages, as well as rafting, trekking and biking trips. Locals are heavily involved in the staffing and supply of food and materials to the lodge. A stay at the guesthouse also gives visitors access to the Nam Ha National Park, where it is involved in supporting a number of wildlife projects.
Bali Eco Stay promotes itself as the place where the rice paddies meet the jungle. The resort offers paddy and food forest treks, along with Balinese massages and fresh mountain-grown food.
