South-east Asia might not be the first
area that springs to mind when thinking
about sustainable travelling, but that
would be missing the point. If you are
going long haul, pick the places that
are trying to do their bit for the planet.
Salinda Resort on Phu Quoc Island is one
such example. It dedicates 70 per cent of
its land to plants, trees and greenery, and
has used the sustainable wood, accoya,
throughout the property. The resort has
eschewed plastic shampoo bottles in
favour of ceramic ones in its bathrooms,
which are also filled with bamboo
toothbrushes, combs and razors.
Another smart substitution can be
seen poolside, employing special
salt-filtration technology in the water
instead of traditional industrial chlorine.
The resort is also an official partner of
WWF-Vietnam for Plastic Reducing
Management on the island.

DAYLESFORD COTTAGES,
GLOUCESTERSHIRE
With an organic ethos at its heart, Daylesford's
numerous cottages encapsulate what it is to
be a sustainable traveller. With the ability to
get there by train (nearest station: Kingham),
the farm also has Tesla car charging points in
the main car park. Electricity for the farm is bolstered by its 1,800 solar panels, which help power
the low-energy lighting in the cottages as well as the electric AGAs. The Zero Waste Pantry in its
on-site farm shops also help to create a positive difference. Shopping for kitchen staples are
made easier as refillable containers replace single-use packaging, which goes as much for food
as it does for filtered water and cleaning products. All good to know as you head back to the
cosiest of cottages to flop in front of the fire with loved ones. daylesford.com
