Best Beachfront Sustainable Hotels, Resorts, Eco Lodges and Eco Friendly Accommodation in Jamaica

What earns a place on this list is how these Jamaica beachfront stays protect the coast they sit on, like Charela INN on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach, a family-run inn that has guarded its stretch of sand and reef for decades. Because Seven Mile Beach is exactly the kind of soft, low-lying shoreline that erodes fast when a property treats the sand as scenery rather than something living to be cared for.

Charela INN keeps its frontage planted and natural rather than walled and concreted, grows much of its own food on site and runs a low-rise, low-impact footprint right at the water’s edge, so the beach at Charela INN in Jamaica stays healthy for the marine life just offshore and for the guests who come after you.

We look for that same instinct further round the island, like Jakes Hotel on the wild shoreline at Treasure Beach, where Jakes works hand in hand with the small fishing community it sits beside, and like Jamaica Inn on its own quiet cove in Ocho Rios, where Jamaica Inn keeps its private bay calm, clean and undeveloped. Because for the families of Treasure Beach and the staff of Ocho Rios, protecting the coast is protecting their own future, and yours.
