Eco-Conscious Can Still Be First-Class
Gone are the days when sustainable travel meant roughing it with cold showers and composting toilets. At Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited, we believe that luxury and sustainability can absolutely coexist — and when done right, one enhances the other.
Whether you’re craving a barefoot island escape, a low-impact safari, or a carbon-conscious culinary getaway, we’re here to prove that you don’t have to compromise comfort to tread lightly.
What Is Sustainable Luxury Travel?
It’s travel that elevates your experience while preserving the beauty of the destination. That might look like:
- Eco-lodges that blend seamlessly into nature
- Locally sourced cuisine that supports regional farmers
- Low-emission transportation and electric safari vehicles
- Cultural experiences rooted in community-led tourism
And yes — it can still include infinity pools, champagne toasts, and plush beds with a view.
Favorite Destinations Doing Sustainability Right
1. Botswana
- Some of Africa’s best luxury camps are also the most sustainable, using solar power, greywater systems, and supporting wildlife corridors.
2. Bhutan
- With its low-volume, high-value tourism model and Gross National Happiness philosophy, Bhutan is basically the blueprint.
3. Costa Rica
- A global leader in eco-tourism. Think luxury jungle lodges, wildlife preservation, and energy-efficient properties.
