Hotel ratings by criteria:
The popular British magazine TRAVEL' Sunday Times in the June issue placed a list of the 5 best eco-friendly hotels and resorts.

It also included a hotel from Sri Lanka already presented in the reviews - Jetwing Lighthouse near Galle Fort.
The advantages of the hotel, according to the British, are the location on a picturesque beach and successful inclusion in the landscape (we support! ), the skillful use of natural factors - light, breeze - to create style (they put the wind at the service of design : -), the presence of an Ayurveda center and spa, whose treatments reflect nature's approach to solving health problems...
It is especially noted that the hotel's menu uses organically grown products. In addition, the hotel has equipment that allows you to dispose of waste without harm to the environment.

The price for such pleasures is relatively low - 73 pounds per room, but meals in the hotel's gastronomic restaurant are paid separately (we liked the food! ).
Other hotels on this list:


Nihiwatu in Indonesia (221 pounds per bungalow),
Feynan EcoLodge in Jordan (from £.31 for a double room),
Apex City of London Hotel in the UK (from £.99),
Il Ngwesi in Kenya (from £.121 per guest).

PS Our commentary on the rating of the British travel app for The Sunday Times.

Of course, British tourists have "their own" criteria, but the topic of "healthy" rest is not alien to our travelers.

After environmental problems in megacities, natural materials used in the construction of the Lighthouse Hotel, fresh eco-friendly products used in the restaurant, natural cosmetics based on Ayurveda recipes (they are equipped with bathrooms) set us in an optimistic mood ...I confess, leaving the hotel, we were in good health and good spirits.

We took photos of the eco-friendly hotel from our fellow travelers:
Pavel Kokarev (Nikolaev) and Tatyana Gribova (Kharkov).
