Guludo Beach Lodge

Why It's Good:

Squeezed between the dazzling Indian Ocean and wild African bush, Guludo Beach Lodge—the accommodations include nine tented oceanfront suites—overlooks one of the best beaches in Mozambique. Explore the islands and the vast African bush, dive in the pristine coral reefs, and soak up the rich local culture.

Why It's Green:

The lodge was founded with guidance from the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and was built using exclusively local materials, guaranteeing minimal environmental impacts. The company, Bespoke Experience, supports SERF (Social and Environmental Regeneration Fund), which works works with rural communities to help relieve poverty and protect local environments. They're also working to establish ecotourism standards and have plans to build eco-resorts in developing countries.
