Beyond Green, a global portfolio of some of planet Earth’s most sustainable accommodations, is pleased to announce the addition of ten new and returning member properties to its global portfolio between April 1 and June 30, 2025. This considered and strategic expansion demonstrates the brand’s continued growth, including its inaugural properties in Sweden and Mozambique.
Since its launch in 2021 by Preferred Travel Group, Beyond Green has continued to expand its footprint in different destinations around the globe. These new additions are each required to adhere to over 100 sustainability indicators aligned with global standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Harnessing the strength of its collective resources and community, Beyond Green creates a powerful opportunity for mutual impact. By combining their valuable perspectives as safeguards of the planet, the brand and its members can work together to scale meaningful, positive change.
Following thoughtful conversations and a renewed alignment around shared values during Beyond Green’s inaugural Leadership Summit, the brand is proud to welcome back three of its founding members to the portfolio: Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve, along with Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn of The Family Coppola Hideaways. Their return is a testament to the power of a united approach to sustainable tourism and the continued commitment to shaping a more responsible and regenerative future for travel.
