Best Sustainable Eco Lodges and Eco Friendly Stays in Montserrat
Best Sustainable Eco Lodges and Eco Friendly Stays in Montserrat
The 2 best places to stay in Montserrat are sustainable and all run on solar power, hand built from recycled and indigenous materials and rooted in the island’s own community. From the Centre Hills above St. Peter’s to the seafront at Little Bay these eco lodges are top rated for low-impact eco friendly comfort that keeps guests coming back to the unspoiled green half of the Emerald Isle.
How we decide the best place to stay in Montserrat
Each top rated stay in Montserrat is hand picked and checked for sustainability features.
Montserrat is a tiny volcanic island where the south still sits under an exclusion zone, so the stays worth listing are the ones that learned to run light and self sufficient in the green north. That is what we weigh first. Gingerbread Hill sets the bar, with its hand built villas solar powered across three secluded acres above St. Peter’s, proof a property here can keep guests comfortable without leaning on the island’s small grid.
Water on the Emerald Isle is precious, so we look hard at where it comes from. The Clubhouse stands out for living fully off grid on collected rainwater by the sea at Little Bay, the kind of closed loop water conservation that matters far more on a small island than any glossy eco label.
We also reward stays that root themselves in Montserrat itself rather than importing a generic resort feel. We favour local sourcing and the quiet kind of solitude these secluded acres above St. Peter’s and the lonely beach at Little Bay both offer, a slow green calm that suits an island still finding its feet after the volcano.
The guest house and eco lodge on this list of best places to stay in Montserrat have proven they are making a real effort to protect the island while taking care of its guests.
If the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean has stirred your taste for volcanic peaks and easy green calm, our guide to the best sustainable hotels across the Caribbean gathers the whole region in one place, or hop a short way north to the eco stays of St Kitts and Nevis, look northeast to nearby Antigua and drift north up the chain to Guadeloupe.
Top Picks, Where To Stay in Montserrat
- Gingerbread Hill: Solar powered hill top guest house
- The Clubhouse (Veta Wade): Female and locally owned, conservation led
Gingerbread Hill is a family owned, solar powered guest house set on three secluded acres above St.
Peter’s, with the Centre Hills rainforest behind it and the Caribbean stretching out to the west. David and Clover Lea built the villas by hand from recycled and indigenous materials, and the grounds carry hydroponic gardens, fruit trees and the family’s own chickens, making it the most self sufficient lodging on the island.
The Clubhouse is a female and locally owned eco lodge by the sea at Little Bay, hand built by Montserratian entrepreneur Veta Wade from repurposed materials and run off grid on solar power and collected rainwater.
It doubles as the home of her Fish ‘N Fins marine conservation non profit, which has taught hundreds of island children to swim and snorkel and supports the Montserrat Turtle Action Plan.
