Best Eco Stays in the Dominican Republic

The best eco friendly stays in Dominican Republic, hand picked from certified retreats to off grid hideaways.

How we choose the best sustainable stays in Dominican Republic

The sustainable stays that give you the real Dominican Republic, 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.

These are the sustainable stays we rate most in the Dominican Republic. 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 the real thing.

Personally, I will always stay at Serafina Organic Farm because they have just three spacious 2br villas on a large organic farm where you can harvest your own food.

If these sustainable stays in Dominican Republic are your kind of place, you will also like our off the grid Caribbean stays or most secluded eco stays across the islands.

Use the map and quick facts on each card to find your fit, then book direct. Price range, sustainability features and the nearest airport are listed for every stay.

Sustainable Travel Destinations, Eco-Stays and Eco-Tour Guides

Is oil paint toxic? Yes, and the most honest person I have heard say so is an artist who paints with it daily. Angie, a black Dominican painter, on the solvents and heavy metal pigments that actually harm you, the non toxic art supplies coming next, and the guilt of painting the countryside she also wants to protect. I spent two days at her easel, and this is her in her own words.
Sexual self portraits, painted by the woman in them, mean the opposite of what you would assume. Angie, a black Dominican artist, on why she paints herself naked, sexual and in control, and why it is self love and her own good company, not vanity. I was at her easel for two days, and this is her on the female gaze, Joan Semmel, and a healthy relationship with yourself.
Angie paints men as fried eggs because she does not like how the Dominican male is made, so she keeps him as a symbol and a woman at the centre. It goes deeper than a joke. I stood in her kitchen while she worked and asked the black Dominican painter to explain it, and here she is, on the female gaze, dissociation, the moulding of women, and the cheeky tribute where she plays the man.
How to define your style as an artist when everything in your training quietly taught you to copy someone else’s eye. Angie, a black Dominican painter, sends a cow to kick Napoleon off his horse and explains the white lens, the damage of internalised bias, the artists who broke it, and how she found her own. I was there in her apartment when she pulled the piece out to show me.
Why is shame so heavy in Catholic countries? Shame is a currency, Angie says, and one image proves it. The black Dominican artist reads Tokischa posing before La Virgen de la Altagracia as the perfect translation of a Catholic country that sells purity while living sexually. I sat with her over two days, and this is her own words on religion, Dominican culture and the faith she keeps anyway.
Are hair relaxers dangerous? There is nothing relaxing about lye that burns the scalp, says Angie, the black Dominican artist whose one video made girls put the box down. Hanging out with the Dominican painter over two days, she walked me through the chemical, the cancer study, the lawsuits and the policing of soft hair, and this is her in her own words.

Vogue’s 28 best sustainable clothing brands list is right about ethics and wrong about fibre. Of 28 brands, 26 fail a plant-fibre-only test because they lean on TENCEL, viscose, wool, silk and recycled polyester. Here is the proof, composition by composition.

Latest Data Reports

Nudie Jeans passes the fibre test, and that is rare for denim. Hold The Throne scanned all 527 live styles for plastic and synthetics, and 99.2% came back natural, mostly 100% organic cotton. The catch is in the ethics: a living wage gap Nudie admit is not closed, and cotton from India.
Pact markets itself as Earth’s Favorite organic cotton, but it is not a clean pass for sustainable clothing. Hold The Throne scanned all 205 of their live styles, and while 122 are 100% organic cotton, just over a third are blended with elastane, which is plastic.
