About

An independent eye
on responsible travel.

Who we are

We started Positive Escapes because we love to travel and wanted a list we'd trust ourselves. Somewhere the research is done, the claims are checked, and every recommendation means something. We only feature places that are both beautiful and responsible.

How we select

We review each stay through nine criteria: wildlife, community, energy, water, food, waste, transport, materials, and transparency. They map to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We focus on what's publicly documented, and when something doesn't add up, we don't include it.

Get listed

Our selection is small on purpose. If you run a place with a real commitment to responsible travel, get in touch.

Partnerships

We're a small project with a clear point of view, and we're open to working with people who share it: brands, operators, organisations. If you think there's something we could build together, reach out.

Why we exist

Responsible travel
should be easy.

We do the research so you don't have to. Each stay is selected on what it publicly documents: certifications, audits, specific commitments. Only places worth going to.
