An eco hotel lets you enjoy the islands knowing your stay runs on clean energy and local sourcing rather than quietly draining the place you came to see.
These are the eco hotels we rate most in the Caribbean, spread across British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Saint Lucia and Jamaica.
Each one has been independently checked for how it actually runs, its energy, water, food and who owns it, so you can book a place that genuinely lives up to what it promises.
If these eco hotels are your kind of place, you will also like our eco lodges or beachfront stays.

My top picks:
Cooper Island Beach Club runs an independent island microgrid powered almost entirely by commercial solar, with on site desalination and wastewater recycling. A Caribbean fusion kitchen and total seclusion make this BVI hotel genuinely off the beaten path.
Jungle Bay is a cliffside eco resort folded into the Dominica rainforest, its eco cottages and wellness facility carried on solar energy. A Caribbean farm to table kitchen keeps the footprint low while you sit high above the sea in deep seclusion.
Balenbouche is a working heritage farm and guesthouse on Saint Lucia, run by the Lawaetz family with organic practices and preserved native woodland. Self catering rooms, solar lighting and centuries of estate history sit in deep rural seclusion.
Geejam is a rainforest hotel above Port Antonio in Jamaica, powered by green electricity and designed around the natural mountain topography to minimise erosion. A handful of studios and luxury villas sit under deep forest cover in Portland.
Travel is a wonderful opportunity to connect with Mother Earth.
However, it is also frequently undermined by reckless development and disrespectful tourism practices.
