Luxury travel is seeing a meaningful shift toward immersion and consciousness. A Booking.com study reveals that 96% of travellers across 34 countries and territories who adopted sustainable behaviours found their journeys enhanced by authentic, local, and cultural activities. There is a noticeable shift in priorities toward slow travel, environmental awareness, and meaningful exploration.

As World Environment Day 2025 spotlights Ending Plastic Pollution, travellers are increasingly drawn to stays that adopt such values. Here are five luxury stays across the globe that blend luxury, nature, and culture—destinations where you can travel consciously and reconnect with the earth.
