    The Cliffs Preserve, Chile

    Ancient forest covering 8,000 acres that stretches along the South Pacific coast of Northern Patagonia is the setting for this luxurious eco lodge, and also home to wildlife such as puma, deer, the mountain monkey and outstanding birdlife, as well as whales, penguins and sea lions. The resort endeavours to have the lowest impact possible with solar energy and organic gardens, as well as creating community and educational programs. The cosy villas and suites feature fireplaces and ocean views, while the resort incorporates a marina, stables and hiking trails, and dining that makes the most of the fresh local seafood and organic produce.

    Lapa Rios, Costa Rica

    Named after the stream of Scarlet Macaws that fly overhead, this sustainable eco-lodge is situated in 930 acres of protected rainforest reserve, lying alongside the Pacific coast and Osa Peninsula’s Corcovado National Park, which is renowned for its biodiversity and extraordinary abundance of wildlife. Wake up at dawn to the call of howler monkeys before setting out to explore the rainforest with one of the resident naturalists or for a spot of dolphin and whale watching. The lodge itself offers luxe living – with a salt-based swimming pool, massage and yoga – as well as striving to help the region socially, economically and environmentally.
