Top Eco Resort Holidays 2012
Ouch. You, too? Everyone back from the Christmas holidays is already in need for a detox vacation.
Swap the spinning class for a tour of Tuscany with a bicycle – you’ll find pasta and vino is an excellent incentive for peddling up hills. Here are two links that can help you organize your trip to the country that makes people dream.. Italy that is!
Casina di Rosa - a vacation rental in Tuscany and a wonderful opportunity for the independent traveller seeking privacy and a pleasant atmosphere. Use the house as a base for sightseeing trips or relax and experience daily life in a traditional Tuscan village.
Eco Guide - three guides with the goal to bring you to discover the treasures of Tuscany and the wise and ancient relationship between human community and this extraordinary land.
If instead of biking in Italy you are looking for something more exotic, Spa pavilions and reflecting pools provide the backdrop for a wellness program at the Farm at San Benito in an emerald green jungle hideaway in the Philippines. The Farm is a centre for holistic healing and wellness where people balance their mind, body and spirit with nourishing live foods in an eco- friendly place.
Otherwise if SPA are not your cup of tea, and you are looking for something more active and adventurous, the National Geographic Adventure Magazine has rated the best green adventures on Earth.
Our preference goes to one of the Eco Success of the last years, a country where Eco Tourism is actually making a difference, one trip at a time. This is Belize!
Here are some links to plan your ultimate eco-vacation destination for this year:
Southern Environmental Association (SEA Belize) is a Belizean-based non-governmental organization dedicated to conservation and preservation of the natural treasures with which Belize is blessed.
Toadal Adventureis a Belizean company specializing in adventure tours, Belize excursions, kayak trips and jungle river journeys. They cater to travelers who want an active role in Belize excursions, kayak adventures and jungle journeys. They guarantee that their Belize excursions, kayak adventures and jungle journeys will take you to some of the most beautiful rain forests, rivers and reefs in the country.
Belize Scuba and Seahorse Dive Shop is a fully equipped dive shop located in the heart of Placencia Village. The shop is owned and operated by PADI dive instructor Brian Young. Brian has many years of training experience and many, many years of diving experience. He was one of Placencia first dive masters and instructors. Prior to opening his dive shop, Brian was a native fisherman and skin diver. He knows the reef as only someone who has made a living from the sea can.
Seaspray Hotel is located in beautiful Placencia, Belize, a one time sleepy fishing community that has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Belize. Placencia is renowned for its beaches, offshore cayes, and being a stone’s throw away from Belize’s lush tropical rainforest interior and mystical Mayan archeological sites.
Blancaneaux Lodge is a 20-room luxury resort where waterfalls tumble into turquoise pools above the jungle canopy. Its remote mountain setting makes it a perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. The story of this place make it quite special. In the early 1980s, Francis Ford Coppola visited Belize, immediately fell in love with the location, and purchased the abandoned Blancaneaux Lodge. For more than a decade the resort was used as a family retreat before Francis opened his tropical paradise to the public in 1993.
