Best Sustainable Resorts, Eco Lodges and Eco Friendly Stays in Haiti
The 2 best places to stay in Haiti are built on ecotourism, lean on solar and recycled materials, and are run by people rooted in their corner of the country. From Cap Haitien in the north to the mountains of Furcy and the surf coast at Cayes de Jacmel, these eco resorts and guesthouses are top rated for low impact comfort in a country most lists skip. Haiti rewards the traveller who comes with respect, and these stays put your money into local hands.
How we decide the best place to stay in Haiti
Haiti is not a place you assess with a generic checklist, so we start with what each of these stays actually does on its own patch of the country. The clearest example is how a property is built, like Rustik in the cool hills of Furcy, raised by the local community from recycled glass bottles in the wake of the 2010 earthquake. That is real waste management and heritage preservation woven into the walls, not a policy pinned to a notice board.
From there we look at how a stay actually powers and waters itself off a fragile grid, like Ekolojik Resort near Cap Haitien running on rooftop solar power with low flow fittings, then harvesting its own rainwater to irrigate the grounds rather than leaning on an overstretched mains supply.
We trace where the food on the plate comes from too, like Haiti Surf Guesthouse on the bluff above Cayes de Jacmel feeding guests from domestically grown produce, the kind of local sourcing that keeps money and farming knowledge inside Haitian communities.
The eco resorts and guesthouses on this list of best places to stay in Haiti have proven they are making a real effort to protect the land while taking care of their guests. If Haiti has stirred your taste for the wider region, our guide to the best sustainable hotels across the Caribbean gathers it all in one place, or look east across Hispaniola to the eco stays of the Dominican Republic, north to Cuba and on to Jamaica.
