Every traveller has a number of ultimate experiences and destinations to tick off on their bucket list, but sustainability is a growing concern for many. For those who want to explore the world and travel green, Green Pearls® has the answer: trips to Asia, Africa, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Middle East, South America and Europe, which also contribute to sustainable tourism.

There’s a hotel for every type of traveller: intrepid types can discover the iconic mountains on the doorstep of The Pavilions Himalayas resort in Nepal; history buffs can explore the historical tracks of the Incas in Peru with Inkaterra; and nature-lovers can unwind amid the quintessential Alpine scenery at Hubertus Alpin Lodge & Spa in Balderschwang in southern Germany.

While actively participating in local projects and learning about eco-initiatives and practices — think everything from making green tea on an organic plantation in Peru to cleaning corals during a dive in Thai waters — visitors also take away unforgettable memories.

Green Pearls® handpicks the best sustainable destinations across the globe and offers a wide range of accommodation: relaxing wellness hotels, family-friendly resorts, holiday rentals, ethical restaurants, destination resorts and more. With 90 partners making authentic green experiences available across 30 countries, Green Pearls’ diverse offerings show that mindful travel is as unique as the individual. Guests are guaranteed to find a hotel with a strong focus not only on local employment and traditions, but also on organic, regional and seasonal cuisine.

What’s more, Green Pearls® is committed to the idea that conscious travel is possible without having to compromise on luxury or quality.

To become part of Green Pearls, a resort must meet a range of environmentally friendly criteria, including its architecture, social commitment and water/waste management. This means the traveller who chooses one of Green Pearls’ eco-friendly hotels is making a conscious decision to support the local community and help protect the global environment.
