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 :~)
