“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.

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 Janihas 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.

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!

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.

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.
