The interest in ecotourism and sustainable travel is rising. My personal decision to reduce my air miles and become a more sustainable traveller has posed a rather exciting challenge. Where can I visit by land or sea from here in the UK? and where can I find sustainable eco-friendly holiday rentals? Here are a few of the fabulous eco-friendly places I found on Holidu…
Eco-Friendly Holiday Rentals
“Everyone can do something to leave a smaller carbon footprint when travelling: the form of arrival and departure, the choice of accommodation, the activities at the holiday destination – all of this can be decided responsibly”
Holidu Co-founder and CEO, Johannes Siebers.
Eco-Lodge In France
This fabulous eco-lodge is positioned on the top of a mountain with a sweeping view of the bay of Ajaccio, France. The electricity is provided by photovoltaics and the water is heated by solar panels. The pool is divided into three parts and has a natural style. The pump also runs on solar energy and there’s an outdoor kitchen! Situated in the middle of nature this eco-lodge offer peace and tranquility. To make your eco-friendly holiday whole and avoid flying, travel to Marseille via train and catch an overnight ferry to the island.

Eco-Friendly Villa In Mallorca
With all the appeal of a luxurious holiday rental, this hidden villa is luxurious whilst also being an eco-friendly choice! Solar panels provide the house with electricity, not that you’d be spending much time inside with that pool! The house is furnished with little clutter and is open and light. This relaxing rental is located just outside of Manacor and has breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains. In the garden there are sun loungers where you can spend the day enjoying the tranquillity. To make your trip here even more sustainable, take the train to Barcelona, from here you can take a ferry to Mallorca. You can stay here with four people from £163 per night.

Sustainable Dutch Cabin
This super stylish cabin is located in the Dutch province of Zeeland, near the North Sea. This cabin is the perfect example of an environmentally conscious choice as it is made of recycled cardboard! You won’t find a TV here, and that’s a deliberate decision, so make sure to pack a good book or simply go out and explore nature! The holiday park is CO2 neutral due to its own set of solar panels that provides electricity. The village of Ouddorp can be reached by taking a metro and bus from Spijkenisse or Rotterdam. Getting to the Netherlands from the UK is also easy, take one of the ferry options that operate across the country or hop on a direct coach service from London. You can stay here with four people and renting this eco-cabin will cost from £84 per night. More information: www.holidu.co.uk/d/36365581
