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.
