Planet Earth, forever our Muse

“Nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished.” —Lao Tzu

Close your eyes and cast your mind back to a transformative moment during your travels; finally arriving at a natural place, encountering a wild creature, gazing across a stunning landscape that rendered you speechless … and relive the sensation that reinforced the awestruck wonder. Recognising these unique moments are the cornerstone of our humanity, for the more passionate and interdependent we feel towards our planet, the more driven we are to nurture and protect it from harm. By harnessing the power of good people, conscious action, honest travel and positive change, the sum of these values strengthens our human evolution. We simply cannot whittle down our respect for the Earth to one day – she must be celebrated and nourished daily.

Here, we shine a spotlight on inspiring luxury hotel brands who go above and beyond to tread lightly and demonstrate a sustainable impact, sharing a focus on one of many key initiatives.

Soneva

Read through the A-Z’s of Soneva’s Sustainability list, and it’s clear they put their money where their mouth is. With their uniquely Biophilic design – “meaning a deep love and craving for nature, [while] reaping the rewards of being immersed in the wilderness.” – and ongoing restoration projects, this is one brand to watch.

Soneva Jani has perfected ‘castaway chic’ in the Maldives, and with access to some of the most pristine waters in the Noonu Atoll, their Marine Biologists play an active role in marine conservation efforts. Join the Marine Conservation Expedition to work alongside them, where guests take part in a beach cleanup to help gather vital data through conducting micro-plastic and coral bleaching surveys.

Six Senses

Since its inception in 1995, Six Senses has built a brand reputation that is synonymous with barefoot luxury, a zero waste philosophy, digital detoxing and always plucking from its own organic gardens. Earth Lab displays their consumption data as well as communicating work around marine conservation, forestry or farming initiatives, and harnessing renewable energy from solar or biomass.

Six Senses Ibiza fights plastic pollution by supporting Pachamama Beach through micro-plastic beach cleanups on land, and iBi Foundation, who runs a solar-powered catamaran dedicated to the same cause at sea. Using an integrated collecting net to retrieve plastics floating on the surface of the ocean, in 2022, 1.552 kilograms of plastic was removed from the coast!

1 Hotels

With all properties LEED Certified, advocating huge carbon offsets, and donations that have exceeded half a million dollars towards their charitable partners, 1 Hotels harmonises with the natural environment while tracking their progress through energy-tracking smart technology. On track to reach their goal towards 90% waste diversion from landfills by 2026, this ensures a future vision “where ‘away’ does not exist – where materials are repurposed, products are reimagined and food renourishes the earth.”

At 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay on biodiverse Kaua’i, spot 144.6 tons of salvaged materials around their island oasis which has been transformed into unlikely art pieces and furniture inspired by the surroundings. Touches of reclaimed Teak Joists and Puka lava stone can be found, and the mindful design of this sanctuary celebrates the natural world through its green roof, native plant species, rainwater harvesting system, and regional cuisine.

Shinta Mani

Inspired to give back to the Khmer people of Cambodia, Shinta Mani Foundation which ‘Opens Doors, Opens Hearts,’ has shared a large percentage of their revenue to important wildlife and community initiatives. While some hotels pay lip service to community and environmental support, they go the extra mile by digging water wells, building school infrastructure, donating study materials and supplying food parcels.

With the Wildlife Alliance on their side, the figures speak for themselves. To share just a few of their successes, they have removed 14777 snares and 1999 bird nets, confiscated 10786 M2 of illegal wood and 685 chainsaws, and released 97 turtles and 1 sun bear. There is a commitment towards permanently ending poaching and logging in the Cardamom rainforest, as well as reintroducing wild tigers into the ecosystem.

Our Habitas

The Habitas ethos is built upon ‘immersive spaces that deepen our awareness,’ to ‘educate and inspire, while holding transparency in high regard,’ and fulfilling the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals for 2030. They construct with minimal environmental impact, have eliminated single-use plastics, and have an impressive portfolio of global initiatives funded by Our Habitas RISE which addresses social and environmental issues.

For the Escapists and seekers of exotic destinations looking for something unusual, landing in Our Habitas Atacama, Chile is the closest alien landscape resembling Space on Earth. Here, silence and desolation reign supreme across its deserts and mountains – a place to fully switch off, bury yourself in ‘the stillness and clarity that arises from life’s simplicity,’ and connect deeply with Nature through the Habitas spirit.

Mexico Cheat Sheet: Debunking Myths and Discovering Gems

Mexico – a country brimming with vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and mouthwatering cuisine. Yet, despite its allure, some potential travelers have been hesitant, wary of the specter of rowdy American spring breakers. But fear not, for The Camel Collection embarked on a journey to uncover the true essence of Mexico, dispelling myths and uncovering hidden treasures along the way.

Tulum: Where Bohemian Vibes Meet Turquoise Waters

Our adventure began in Quintana Roo, where the sun-drenched shores of Tulum beckoned with promises of bohemian bliss. Nestled against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea, Tulum offers a perfect blend of relaxation, wellness, and subtle revelry. For accommodation, we recommend the seductive and chic sanctuaries of Nomade and Be Tulum. While Nomade exudes a family-friendly charm, BE Tulum beckons with its exclusive ambiance for adults. The infamous ‘nests’ at Be might tempt you, but we found them too compact and much preferred the spacious on-land suites and villas. Both properties boast an array of activities, from rejuvenating Temazcal rituals to unforgettable beach parties. And for the adventurous souls, a Cenote tour is an absolute must, offering a glimpse into the region’s mystical underground caves and pools.

Riviera Maya: Serenity Amidst Coastal Splendor

Venturing further along the Riviera Maya, we discovered hidden havens far from the bustling all-inclusive resorts.

Maroma Belmond, with its exquisite interiors by renowned designer Tara Bernard, offers a haven of tranquility. Handcrafted details adorn every corner, inviting guests to immerse themselves in Mexican artistry. And for families seeking an idyllic retreat, the expansive suites and holistic kids’ club provide an unparalleled experience.

Rosewood Mayakoba beckons with its exclusive villas and unparalleled service. Arriving via private boat through the mangroves sets the tone for a truly indulgent stay. From “Local Tuesdays” at Zapote Bar to international culinary collaborations, every moment at Rosewood is infused with sophistication and warmth. Families will delight in spacious suites and a wealth of activities, while larger groups can opt for the expansive six-bedroom villa.

Grand Velas Riviera Maya redefines the all-inclusive experience, with a focus on culinary excellence and family-friendly amenities. Choose from three distinct sections (we would recommend the Grand Class section of the resort), each catering to different preferences, and indulge in world-class spa treatments at their the Forbes five-star spa or lively poolside relaxation. With exceptional kids and teens clubs, this resort truly caters to every member of the family.

Oaxaca City: A Culinary and Cultural Delight

Leaving the coast behind, we ventured inland to Oaxaca City, a vibrant hub of culture and culinary delights. Vibrant markets, infused with the scent of spices and the sound of laughter, offer a sensory journey like no other. And for the ultimate immersion into Oaxacan traditions, Casa Silencio awaits. Venture beyond the city limits to Mezcal land, where Casa Silencio offers a unique blend of architectural splendour and mezcal experiences. This boutique retreat offers a sanctuary for the discerning traveler, with six meticulously curated suites designed to elevate your experience to unparalleled heights.

But Casa Silencio is more than just a place to rest your head; it’s an immersive experience that celebrates the rich heritage of Oaxacan culture. Embark on a journey of discovery with their Mezcal tour, where you’ll explore the art of mezcal production and indulge in tastings of this revered spirit.

As the sun sets over the rugged terrain, gather around Casa Silencio’s magnificent basalt stone table for a six-course fire feast, where flavours come alive amidst the flickering flames. Here, amidst the silence of the desert, you’ll forge unforgettable memories that will linger long after your journey has ended.

Puerto Escondido: A Rustic Paradise Beckons

For those seeking a more rustic escape, Puerto Escondido awaits with its rugged coastline and bohemian charm. This barefoot paradise, reminiscent of Tulum’s early days, is a haven for surfers and free spirits. Whether basking in breathtaking sunsets or exploring hidden coves, every moment in Puerto Escondido is a testament to nature’s splendour.

Nestled along the shores of Puerto Escondido, Casa To stands as a testament to contemporary design and architectural innovation.
