Three places in my 'back yard' worth visiting:

Nihiwatu - one of the top 5 eco resorts of the world, and one of the world's best 100 hotels as voted by Tatler. Winner of numerous rewards and a personal favorite in terms of their astounding style, gorgeous location, and serious commitment towards improving regional quality of life. Wow. A true inspiration and a gorgeous website.

Bali Eco Lodge - also one of Indonesia's premier eco resorts, this place is much more affordable, and truly is committed to sustainability, conservation, and living in harmony with nature. Up in the mountainous regions of Bali, this is simply an incredible destination worth spending a few days or weeks at.

Tiger Islands Village & Eco Resort - this is my humble little resort, a seedling of the trees above and my own vision on how to make the world a better place. It was recently voted by Travel and Leisure as one of 12 best affordable private island resorts in the world - which is hard for me to imagine. Nonetheless, it's super laid back, features gorgeous coral reefs, has a range of eco technologies for sustainable living, and is in the process of a regional community development initiative focused on education and conservation.

Please, if you know of any amazing eco retreats or other eco villages that you feel are worth visiting, please share :~)

One of the most profound eco-adventure-inspirational villages is at Findhorn in Scotland, and has been running for the past 44 years...

It would be a great place to go to learn more about eco villages and a version of an 'advanced' community and way of life....

check it out at www.findhorn.org

Here's one in australia - called Crystal Waters

Here's one in new zealand - called Shambala

These would be great places to visit to learn more about this concept. The one in new zealand is founded by a guy who shares my vision of spreading this concept around the world... and has affiliations with neale donald walsch, the guy who wrote conversations with god.
