why choose sustainable hotels
why choose eco friendly accommodation

One of the easiest ways to reduce your environmental impact while travelling is to stay in sustainable accommodation.

Maybe you’ve thought about booking an eco-friendly hotel before, but the extra research seemed too much of a hassle?

Finding eco-friendly hotels, hostels or cabins isn’t as hard as you might think. There are so many reasons why going “green” with your accommodation will benefit your health, the environment, natural wildlife and local communities.

6 reasons to choose sustainable accommodation

Reduce your carbon footprint

Eco-certified hotels are committed to reducing their environmental impact. They do this by running on renewable energy, using energy-efficient appliances and promoting eco-friendly transport.

You can breathe a little easier (literally) knowing you’re drastically reducing your carbon footprint compared to staying in mainstream accommodation.

Connect with nature and wildlife

Travelling to new places is a great way to bring yourself closer to nature.

While not all eco-friendly hotels are nestled in a jungle or perched on a snowy mountain top, they do aim to bring guests closer to Mother Earth. This could be through their strategic location, design, the activities they offer, and products that come along with the experiences.

Eco-friendly hotels are always conscious about the welfare of local wildlife. Many hotels have become sanctuaries for local animals who can roam freely and safely interact with humans. What a unique experience!

contribute to local communities

Another reason to stay at a sustainable hotel is to support the local community. Not only do eco-friendly source locally-made products and food, they also employ the services of local people. What a perfect way to give back!

it’s good for your health

It’s well-known that getting lots of fresh air and surrounding yourself with nature is good for your health. But sustainable hotels also committed to using eco-friendly cleaning products that are free from pesticides and toxic chemicals.

You’ll find activities that don’t harm the environment, such as hiking, bike rides, book exchanges, yoga and guided cultural tours. Many sustainable hotels also serve organic vegetarian or vegan food.

unplug from technology

Hands up who’s gone on a “holiday” only to sit on their phone answering emails and messages, refreshing the news or watching endless amounts of YouTube? Guilty!

Staying at an eco-friendly hotel will inspire you to slow down, enjoy your surroundings, and experience technology-free activities. You know, like a real vacation! You’ll realise there is a lot more to life than smartphones and Netflix.

Reasons to stay in a sustainable hotel: One-of-a-kind experience

Sure, staying in the local chain hotel might be conveniently close to the airport or local attractions, but was staying there memorable? Why not make your accommodation part of the whole experience? After staying in an eco-friendly hotel you’ll have more interesting stories to tell, photos to share and memories that will last a lifetime.


As you can see, there are many reasons to stay in a sustainable hotel on your next trip. It’s a win-win for the environment, your health and local communities.

Hi there, I'm Emily

Since going vegan over 5 years ago, I've been passionate about showing others how easy (and necessary!) it is to make kinder choices; from what we put on our plate, to the clothes we wear and companies we support. On this blog I share tips for going vegan, along with my own journey towards a more sustainable, zero-waste life at home and abroad! x
