Our Certified Sustainable Hotels collection gives you the option to choose five-star accommodation that meets an official global standard for sustainability as part of your Indulgent Escape with us. These hotels have been assessed by an independent organisation against strict criteria to become certified as sustainable, including things like reducing energy, water and waste to using local and reusable products.
We have plenty of properties in this category across Madeira, Croatia and Montenegro too, but Turkey, Spain and Greece fly the flag. Here are some of the top Certified Sustainable Hotels to book...

Cullinan, Belek, Antalya Area
Cullinan is something of a dreamworld. It tallies up a long list of fantastic facilities, from 11 outdoor pools to 15 mouth-watering restaurants. Mealtimes are savoured on All Inclusive Plus as standard, which means culinary connoisseurs will be in their element. Thanks to sensory play areas, dedicated children’s clubs and a giant aqua park, families will be too. Seek out the spa and you shall find it, plus, there’s an on-site golf course. Its consciousness extends to its 574 endemic plant species, as well as its bike amenities and rental.

NG Phaselis Bay LifeStyle Resort, Kemer, Antalya Area
We imagine you’ll get quite used to the two sweeping bays and three outdoor pools just ahead of you at NG Phaselis Bay LifeStyle Resort. Wrap-around mountains further frame the view, and each of the modern rooms and suites retain a natural, wood-clad look – very much in keeping with the landscaped aesthetic. Delight in the aqua park, 11 restaurants, 12 bars and soothing spa, all while knowing the hotel has its Sustainable Tourism Certificate for environmental friendliness and its principles.

Lujo Hotel Bodrum, Guvercinlik, Bodrum Area
The beguiling emerald-hued hills and creamy, turquoise waters create a postcard setting you won’t tire of here in Turkey. Lujo Hotel Bodrum has a Green Key for 2024, due to its incorporation of recycled materials and on-site treatment of wastewater. So you can rest easy knowing it’s sustainably minded. Meanwhile, four outdoor pools, sophisticated good looks throughout and eight à la carte dining options are among the first flushes of facilities and benefits to be excited about. Swim-up rooms available? Absolutely.

Hotel Bahia del Duque, Costa Adeje, Tenerife
Various policies, certificates and reports underpin the sustainability accolades at Hotel Bahia del Duque, where there’s a focus on the local community. When staying here, prepare to experience the bliss of being right on the beachfront, with five outdoor pools and a thalassotherapy circuit also in the rays. Traditional-décor rooms, a supreme spa for adults and age-appropriate children’s clubs all intermingle, though it’s perfect for dining thanks to its nine restaurants – one even has a Michelin star.

Atrium Platinum Luxury Resort & Spa, Ixia, Rhodes
What sets Atrium Platinum Luxury Resort & Spa apart is its lagoon-style pool amid a stunning environment, range of board bases and facilities tailored to families. From nourishing massages for parents to a fun children’s club and playground, all ages will be catered for – plus, you can expect children’s menus in a selection of the six restaurants. Sustainability-wise, the hotel has a proactive approach to reducing energy consumption through using efficient solutions and renewable sources where possible.

Atrium Prestige, Lachania, Rhodes
As with the ethos at Atrium Platinum Luxury Resort & Spa, you’ll find the same focus on energy consumption reduction at Atrium Prestige. The expansive complex gazes out across the Blue Flag Lachania Beach, offering three outdoor and two indoor pools for when a swim on-site takes your fancy instead. On All Inclusive Plus as standard, you can relish a please-yourself buffet breakfast, gourmet dishes and even selected cocktails each day. A spa, medley of sports activities and children’s amenities are also in store for you.

Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort, Moraitika, Corfu
A beachfront oasis exhibiting classic Corfiot style? That’s Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort. Begin your days lazing beside the pools and palm trees, or perhaps down on the shimmering sands on the doorstep. You’ll be in awe of your surroundings, along with the trio of Greek and international restaurants, spa and Turkish bath, sports classes and even the Haute Living concept. Protecting the environment, preserving local culture and enhancing economies are at the core of Domes Resorts’ sustainability policy.

Ikos Aria, Kefalos, Kos
Here at Ikos Aria, the Ikos Green programme – which spans local collaborations and eco-adventures to complimentary Tesla hire and waste reduction – is in full swing. It’s a hotel that stirs the senses in so many ways too, whether you’re on the beach or by a pool. The whitewashed rooms, suites and bungalows epitomise Greek allure, while the flavour becomes more international in the eight excellent restaurants. Spa treatments for grown-ups, a splash park for little ones... no wonder it’s a property perfect for families.
