Where to stay for female owned eco friendly stays in the Caribbean
The 4 best female owned stays in the Caribbean are genuinely owned and run by the women behind them, and they back that with solar power, their own rainwater and food grown in their own gardens and forests.
From Negril in Jamaica to Two Foot Bay in Barbuda to Rosalie in Dominica these family hotels, self catering apartments and eco lodges are top rated for women who built and run them with sustainability at the core, with Frangipani Eco Lodge raised entirely from upcycled ocean materials by the Frank sisters.
How we decide the best female owned stays in the Caribbean
Choose the island and accommodation first, then compare the actual systems each property describes. An off grid supply, solar panels connected to the grid and solar hot water provide different services.
The test here is simple. We want women genuinely owning or co owning the place and making the daily decisions, not just fronting it, like Lamblion Apartments, a Black and female owned family stay in Antigua run by Lionel and Lorylin, where eleven self catering apartments sit on a tropical fruit forest you can harvest from.
It counts for even more when the founders built the place themselves, like Frangipani Eco Lodge, where the Frank sisters raised a Barbudan and female owned eco lodge from upcycled ocean materials on a raw oceanfront you have entirely to yourself.
Rosalie Bay’s own amenities page describes micro hydro electricity from the Rosalie River and solar panels. Its beach is a turtle nesting area with strong rip currents; use the resort pool for swimming.
And the best of them lift the wider family and community around them, like Charela INN, a Black and family co owned beachfront hotel on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach in Jamaica, backed by a 174 acre working farm that feeds its farm to table French Jamaican kitchen.
