Located in East Africa’s first community owned conservancy, Angama Amboseli gives the indigenous Maasai community lease payments together with investments towards healthcare and educational infrastructure. In exchange, visitors can experience a slice of Kenya that feels untouched – all from the comfort of one of ten luxury tents. angama.com

Oasy is a new hospitality concept: destinations built around sustainability and conservation, where guests can benefit from – and give back to – nature. Its Tuscan outpost is a sanctuary for rare fauna and flora, and its 16 lodges are immersed in the wilderness, with two haute-cuisine restaurants, a cinema, and wellness centres on hand. oasyhotel.com

Melote House, Limpopo, South Africa

Nestled within the Lapalala Wilderness Reserve in South Africa is the much-anticipated, exclusive-use Melote House from Lepogo Lodges. All profits are returned to the reserve for its many conservation projects, which include rewilding former farm land, a cheetah breeding programme, and supporting pangolin and rhinos. lepogolodges.com

SCP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge, Costa Rica

Set in pristine rainforest, and surrounded by 250,000 acres of national park, a stay at this off-grid lodge – only accessible by boat – promises a truly unforgettable nature-filled experience. SCP (Soul Community Planet) has various partnerships in place with local forest and marine conservation organisations. scphotel.com/corcovado

Louma, Lyme Regis, Dorset

Launching soon, Louma is a 100-acre farm and retreat overlooking the Charnmouth Valley. Owners Louis and Emma Steyn have a regenerative approach, working to improve soil health and biodiversity.

Son Blanc Farmhouse, Menorca

The entire island of Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere, and the Son Blanc Farmhouse is a love letter to that. The abandoned 19th-century building was restored with local materials and now it’s the kind of eco-retreat that attracts the fashion set as frequently as the conscious crowd. All that plus a sea view – dreamy. sonblancmenorca.com

Tigh na Coille, Wildland, Scotland

Secluded on a hillside high above Loch Ness is this repurposed manse house that sleeps eight. It’s part of the Wildland conservation programme, which has taken custodianship of three Scottish estates, and is in the process of ecological rehabilitation through careful land management, nature restoration, and community outreach. tighnacoille.scot

With only 14 overwater and island villas, Soneva Secret takes Maldivian luxury and seclusion to a new level. The retreat is part of the Soneva Foundation, which works to conserve the local fragile marine ecosystem, and includes coral restoration, funding reforestation programmes in Thailand, and helping to reduce plastic waste across the Maldives. elegantresorts.co.uk

Boca de Agua, Mexico

Architect Frida Escobedo designed Boca de Agua – and its 22 treehouses suspended in air – with regeneration in mind. The guest spaces use as much local materials as possible, provide jobs for those in the area, and then, beyond them, lies an untouched, protected space. Of its 82 acres, 90 percent of the land is untouched as part of a conservation programme. bocadeagua.com

The Ark, Sweden

Arken – found in one of Northern Europe’s largest game reserves – is a stay with front row seats to nature. Each of the 23 rooms enjoys a vast south-facing terrace looking out to the savannah, in which bison graze, red deer play and eagles tumble. The hotel has a maintenance-free façade and a sedum roof, so it invites little natural interruption to its surrounds. eriksberg.se

Cap Karoso, Indonesia

Cap Karoso is a beach resort and farm in Sumba that’s been cultivating natural knowledge since it opened in 2023. Yes, that does mean you can enjoy the fruits of its soil on the menu here. But you’ll also feast on a rich ecosystem made up of farmland, forest, seaside and coral reefs – before returning to one of its 44 rooms or 20 villas each night of your stay.

Homestead Lodge, South Africa

Soon-to-open Homestead Lodge will tour you through the Nambiti Private Game reserve – on an electric 4×4. During construction, animals found on-site were gently caught and released into the reserve, wood was ethically sourced from nearby regions, and plant species disrupted by building will be replanted on the lodge’s roof. homesteadlodge.com
