We’re thrilled to announce a major expansion of our partnership with andBeyond, a global leader in sustainable travel. This collaboration will bring 23 new andBeyond properties into the esteemed Beyond Green portfolio, strengthening our commitment to promoting sustainability worldwide.

These unique journeys are ready for booking, offering travelers the chance to explore responsibly and sustainably.
Our partnership highlights the shared values of both companies, focusing on the pillars of Nature, Culture, and Community. Together, we’re dedicated to driving positive change within the travel industry and beyond.
Since its launch in 2021, Beyond Green has experienced significant growth, welcoming diverse accommodations that adhere to rigorous sustainability standards. From environmentally friendly practices to support for local communities, each property in our portfolio is committed to sustainable tourism management.
Similarly, andBeyond has a longstanding commitment to sustainability, leading initiatives in conservation and environmental stewardship since 1991. Together, we’re proud to amplify the impactful work of our member hotels and promote travel as a force for good.

“Through this forward-looking approach with andBeyond, we are uniquely positioned to effect meaningful change in the tourism sector, inspiring travelers to embark on journeys that prioritize sustainability and the protection of our planet,” said Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Beyond Green. “There is no better or more critical time than now for us to unite and build a better, brighter future for all.”
“As part of our 2030 vision to scale our impact through strategic partnerships and coalitions of change, we are incredibly pleased to announce an expanded collaboration with Beyond Green,” said Joss Kent, Executive Chairman and CEO, andBeyond. “Their dedication to sustainability exemplifies our own ethos as a bespoke luxury travel company committed to responsible travel across our operational footprint. As global focus continually shifts toward the urgent preservation of Earth’s wild places, we believe our expanded partnership will be a powerful continued influence shifting travelers to more sustainable travel practices.”
In 2021, the initial collaboration between the two brands was launched, marking the entry of four andBeyond properties – andBeyond Vira Vira (Pucón, Chile), andBeyond Bateleur Camp (Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya), andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge (Sossusvlei Private Desert Reserve), and the currently under renovation andBeyond Mnemba Island, set to reopen in October 2024 (Zanzibar, Tanzania) – as the founding members of the Beyond Green portfolio. These original four properties will soon be joined by 23 others, including recent additions like andBeyond Punakha River Lodge in Bhutan, the newly refurbished andBeyond Phinda Forest Lodge in South Africa, and the reopening of andBeyond Ngala Tented Camp in South Africa in September. Following a rigorous Beyond Green on-site inspection conducted by a third-party sustainable tourism expert, the 23 lodges and camps listed below will be available for booking on Beyond Green’s ‘Hotels’ page on StayBeyondGreen.com. These inspections are already underway and will continue on a rolling basis over the next 12 months.
