Best Eco Friendly Hotels, Resorts and Eco Lodges in Jamaica
How we choose the best eco friendly stays in Jamaica
The eco friendly stays that give you the real Jamaica, run by people rooted in it, with renewable power, careful water and food grown close by, the kind of place that puts genuine effort into the planet, with the wholesome, thoughtful touches you respect and a comfort you come back for. Here is where to stay, from Charela Inn to GeeJam.
These are the eco friendly stays we rate most in Jamaica. Each one is hand picked and checked for how it actually runs, its energy, water, food and who owns it, so every stay on this list is making a sustainable effort.
I recommend staying at Charela Inn in Negril. I had a fantastic stay as a solo female traveler and I am not a hotel type of person since I usually choose secluded stays. But Charela Inn, with it’s 59 rooms felt like a cosy home with alot of thoughtful details. It’s not a typical Jamaican resort which is the best thing about it, but you’re still on the beach in a cosy inn with French-Jamaican decor. Book a room with the beach view and a bath tub, you’ll thank me later for the comfort!
If these eco friendly stays in Jamaica are your kind of place, you will also like our off the grid Caribbean stays or most secluded eco stays across the islands.

Top Picks, Where To Stay in Jamaica
- Charela Inn: Farm to table food, coconut tree beach umbrellas and solar powered
- GeeJam: Supports local environmental conservation
- Jamaica Inn: Its own organic farm
A Black and family co owned beachfront hotel on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach, backed by a 174 acre working farm. Solar panels run the roofs and a farm to table French Jamaican kitchen cuts the food miles to almost nothing.
A rainforest hotel above Port Antonio that procures green electricity for its studios and villas and is designed around the natural mountain topography to minimise erosion. A handful of rooms under deep forest cover, with a recording studio that has drawn the Rolling Stones and Drake.
A low impact, family run eco resort deep in the Jamaican interior of Westmoreland. Solar power runs the lodge, a Jamaican farm to table menu feeds you, and the camp actively manages the river habitats it sits beside.
An off grid cliffside eco lodge above Boston Bay with composting toilets, solar water heaters and huts built gently into the natural rock to spare the trees and shoreline. Rasta inspired and genuinely low impact.
Green Globe certified, Jamaican family owned and woven into the Treasure Beach community on the quiet south coast. Solar heated water, greywater recycling and a farm to table kitchen supplied by the local Ital Farmers Association, with the BREDS foundation funding conservation.
Green Globe certified since 2012 on an eight acre oceanfront estate east of Ocho Rios. Runs partly on solar, tends its own gardens and orchid greenhouse, and funds a five year coral restoration through the White River Fish Sanctuary.
