eco-lodge
Environmentally conscious accommodation
An eco-lodge is a tourist accommodation designed to minimize environmental impact, typically located in natural settings like rainforests, wildlife reserves, or coastal areas.
Eco-lodges emphasize sustainable practices—solar power, rainwater collection, locally sourced materials—and often support conservation efforts or local communities: We stayed at an eco-lodge in Costa Rica that funded reforestation projects.
