Beyond Green has announced the addition of seven new members. These properties, spanning Africa, Europe and Latin America, are committed to adhering to more than 50 sustainability indicators aligned with global standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The newest additions to the Beyond Green portfolio include:
Swinton Park Hotel (Ripon, North Yorkshire, U.K.) – Located in Yorkshire Dales, this hotel is housed in a Grade II-listed castle and spans over 200 acres of parkland and gardens. Guests can enjoy dishes crafted by Michelin-trained chefs using estate-grown produce, along with activities such as wild swimming, forest walks and falconry. Eco-friendly initiatives include a biomass boiler for energy and a chemical-free pool. Pretty cool: Swinton plants a tree for every guest stay, contributing to conservation efforts across its 20,000-acre estate and the growth of its woodland project, which partners with local conservation organizations.
SCP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge (Bahia Drake, Costa Rica) – Situated in Corcovado National Park, the lodge offers a secluded retreat amid 250,000 acres of parks and reserves. Facilities include a spa, pool and dive center. Outdoor activities include hiking, kayaking and fishing. The lodge sources 70 percent of its energy from renewables, eliminates single-use plastics, and follows a “zero waste” dining model. It also supports global conservation efforts, including the One Trillion Trees Program. Committed to the local community, the property aids clean water access in Drake Bay and provides therapeutic experiences for individuals with disabilities through the Osa Sensorial project.
Stanglwirt (Tirol, Austria) – This bio- and wellness resort is set in the foothills of Austria’s Kitzbühel Alps. Welcoming guests for over 400 years, the resort's on-property activities include a spa and wellness experience with multiple saunas and steam baths, horseback riding, a ski and snowboard school and 14 tennis courts. Sustainability initiatives include a biomass power plant providing eco-friendly heat since the 1980s and a hydroelectric power station generating carbon-free electricity. Water from the Kaiserquelle spring supplies the resort’s drinking water, pools and saunas. An on-site organic farm supports farm-to-table dining, while chemical-free cleaning agents contribute to a safer environment throughout the property.
andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp (Okavango Delta, Botswana) – Spread across a 61,775-acre wildlife concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, the camp offers nine tented suites elevated on platforms beneath ebony trees. In 2018, the camp implemented a photovoltaic (PV) plant and Tesla Powerpack Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), meeting 80 percent of its energy needs through green technology and significantly reducing reliance on generators.
andBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge (Okavango Delta, Botswana) – With 70 percent of its energy supplied by a solar power plant, this lodge reduced its carbon footprint while offering guests the opportunity for behind-the-scenes tours of the solar facilities. Its suites provide landscape views and seclusion, while local craftsmanship and natural materials are featured throughout.
andBeyond Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp (Okavango Delta, Botswana) – Tucked away on a private island, the camp has nine safari tents, each equipped with a private plunge pool, outdoor sala and al fresco shower. The lodge meets 80 percent of its energy needs with an advanced solar PV hybrid system, including a Tesla Powerpack BESS.
andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp (Masai Mara, Kenya) – Set along the Saparingo River at the edge of the Masai Mara, the camp’s 40 tents provide vistas of the Mara’s plains and abundant wildlife while prioritizing sustainability. Hot water is generated using a solar-powered system, and by bottling water on-site, the camp eliminates the use of 56,000 plastic bottles annually. Guests can savor fresh, organic ingredients from the camp’s garden, unwind by the rim-flow pool with views, and enjoy holistic treatments at the massage tent. Good to know: Kichwa Tembo also invests in education and healthcare initiatives to support local Maasai communities.
The newly added andBeyond properties are part of an expanded partnership with the luxury experiential travel company, which will see 23 new properties joining the Beyond Green portfolio. Each of these seven properties are also now part of the I Prefer Hotel Rewards loyalty program.
