Environmentally friendly holidays are now available around the world, so whether you want to drive to Devon or fly to Finland, there’s a more sustainable option available for you. The question is - why go green?
Eco-friendly holidays are a great way to reduce your carbon footprint when seeking a trip away. We’re all aware of the current environmental crisis going on, so swapping a luxury hotel for something just that little bit more sustainable every now and again is a great way to help protect our natural environment.
From cabins in the woods, to tents and yurts, there’s many options available with various features. Often built from sustainable materials, connecting with nature creates a balance of environmental and personal wellness. There’s something for everyone, and you have the ability to be as secluded as you want.
Spas, mediation classes and fishing trips are some of the various options are that are on offer, depending on where you stay. Consider how active you want to be whilst choosing your location, as some have a focus on hiking and fitness, whereas others are more relaxing with health in mind. More often than not, you can expect a combination of the two, being able to enjoy the great outdoors whilst caring for both physical and mental health.
Although they’re often located amongst nature, most still have perks such as wifi or a television if you aren’t seeking a technology-free holiday. You can get lost in the beauty of nature during the day, enjoying the peace and quiet before heading back to your room for a chilled night in.
If you aren’t up for bringing your own food or cooking at home, look at options that offer local, organic produce as part of their service. Of course, you can still enjoy local cuisine when going abroad; you truly have the best of both worlds with an eco-friendly holiday, with the ability to see the sights whilst keeping the earth in mind.
