Kangaroo Island

Why It's Good:

Encompassing 1,737 miles of a terrain similar to West Africa, Kangaroo Island offers expansive dry plains of brush, indigenous wildlife and dramatic ocean vistas. Book a suite at the new Southern Ocean Lodge, the first luxury resort on the island: The contemporary white and blue-grey décor is flanked by floor-to-ceiling panoramic ocean views. When it's time to dine in the chic restaurant, be sure to try the locally sourced marron (a crawfish meets lobster) and whiting fish; the islands local vintners, Two Wheeler Creek and The Islander, are featured on the superb wine list.

Why It's Green:

More than one-third of Kangaroo island has been declared a Conservation or National Park, and five significant Wilderness Protection Areas have been retained, including more than half of the native vegetation. Unlike many of its overdeveloped counterparts, this resort's lodges were constructed in a way to blend into their natural surroundings. Plus, there is a sustainable management policy in place for waste, water and energy.
