For the traveller who still wants a luxurious experience or a holiday to unwind, a regenerative mindset doesn’t have to compromise on comfort. Rather, if you use Regenerative Travel’s services, you can find excellent accommodation that inadvertently has a strong environmental and social commitment. One resort in St. Lucia, an island country in the Carribean, has an organic farm where it grows its own fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables. A luxury bush camp in Botswana is part of the African Bush Camps collective, working to conserve the land and empower the people of Africa through tourism. An ecolodge in Panama is positioned in the convergence of three ecosystems, bringing wildlife and nature to guest's doorstep. When it was built, eco-friendly renewable, reusable or recyclable materials (like wood, steel and concrete) were used to construct its buildings.

With such an expansive list of regenerative resorts and destinations on her radar, it’s hard for Amanda to single out a favourite. Instead, she offers a memorable trip to Fogo Island, the largest offshore island in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. “I visited Fogo Island a couple of years ago and stayed at Fogo Island Inn which has recently become a member with Regenerative Travel. 

“The Inn is essentially a 100 per cent community-owned asset so everything they do is driven by the community and striving to minimise the impact on the surrounding environment.” The opportunity to discover places like Fogo Island Inn is essentially what Regenerative Travel aim to offer, a platform where, as their tagline states, your vacation meets your values wherever you travel.
