Best Certified Sustainable Hotels and Eco Friendly Stays in Curacao

What earns a place on this list is how these Curacao certified stays prove their sustainability with independent, audited certification, like Morena Eco Resort, the island’s pioneering eco resort in Jan Thiel near Willemstad, which holds triple verification from Green Globe, Green Key and Travelife. Because a sign at reception costs nothing, but Morena Eco Resort submitting to three separate outside auditors is the kind of proof that tells you the eco promise on a dry, water-stressed island is real.

Morena Eco Resort earns that Green Globe, Green Key and Travelife verification by being checked on its water, energy and waste rather than rewarded for a logo, so the scarce fresh water and fragile dry landscape around Jan Thiel in Curacao stay protected for the reefs and wildlife next door and for the guests who come after you.

We look for that same instinct in how a place is built and run, like Best West Eco Lodge & Leisure, the small oceanfront lodge at Sabana Westpunt on the west coast built primarily from certified sustainable TLC hardwood, and LionsDive Beach Resort, the Green Key certified dive resort on Mambo Beach fronted by its own house reef. Because for the families and dive communities who depend on that west coast and that reef for generations, protecting the water and the wildlife is protecting their own future, and yours.
