This secluded beach resort on Andros Island, large on luxury and low on eco impact, is the perfect Caribbean getaway for those travelers who’d rather not leave a footprint behind. Powered completely by solar energy (yes, even to heat the water), Tiamo’s bungalows were built around preexisting surroundings for the ultimate in minimum site impact. To keep lodging cool, each building is elevated, offers a wraparound porch and white reflective roofs, and utilizes high-pitched ceilings and open design for maximum air flow. No air conditioning. No TV or internet either.
Instead, guests can hike, snorkel, fly fish, sail or kayak.

Nice! Now if I can just get some of the resorts in the Dominican Republic and the rest of the Caribbean to follow suit…Do you know if this resort has sought Green Globe certification?

Hey Keith –
I checked out the site and couldn’t find anything on Green Globe, but Tiamo has won plenty of eco-friendly awards like:
- 2004 International Hotel & Restaurant Assoc. Environmental Award
- 2004 Islands Magazine Sustainable Tourism Award
- 2002 British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow Highly Commended Award
