Sustainability is no longer a travel trend. Travellers, today, are travelling with a opting for sustainability in every step of their itinerary.

As climate consciousness shapes the way we explore the world, today’s travellers are seeking more than just scenic views and five-star stays – they’re prioritising purpose. Sustainability is no longer a travel trend but a growing expectation, and across India, a new wave of destinations is rising to meet it. From solar-powered sanctuaries tucked into the hills to off-grid escapes that balance luxury with responsibility, these getaways show that going green doesn’t mean giving up comfort. Here are five Indian resorts where your travel choices can tread lightly, without compromising on experience.

Evolve Back, Kabini & Hampi

Evolve Back continues to set the benchmark for sustainable luxury with a strong focus on clean energy. The brand has installed medium-scale captive solar power plants at two of its flagship resorts, Kabini and Hampi, with a combined capacity of 250 kWp. These systems, along with an existing windmill, now meet nearly 50% of their energy needs, resulting in a carbon dioxide offset of approximately 800 tons. The best part is that none of it compromises the guest experience.

Tamara Leisure Experiences

At Tamara properties, sustainability is not just a statement; it is a system. Each resort is built with minimal disturbance to natural habitats, guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their approach to clean energy includes the use of LED lighting, energy-efficient heat pumps, and solar and wood-fired water heating systems across locations. Energy conservation is rooted in every layer of hospitality, proving that conscious travel can still feel luxurious.

Courtyard by Marriott Aravali Resort & Spa, Gurgaon

This peaceful getaway in Gurgaon is not just about comfort and style; it is also a hub of smart energy practices. The property features a 368 kWp rooftop solar power plant that generates 1,272 kWh daily, powering everything from lighting to kitchens and water heating. With solar energy seamlessly integrated into its infrastructure, the resort significantly lowers its carbon footprint while ensuring guests enjoy a modern and mindful stay.

Spice Village by CGH Earth, Thekkady

Located in the misty hills of Thekkady in Kerala, Spice Village lives its commitment to sustainability through solar power. Around 75% of the property’s energy needs are met via a solar unit called Surya Kanthi, with the resort operating mostly off-grid. Installed in 2012, the solar system generates up to 400 units of electricity at peak capacity. Guest rooms are designed without air conditioning or televisions, relying instead on natural ventilation and solar-powered geysers, blending comfort with environmentally conscious living.

Aahana – The Corbett Wilderness, Uttarakhand

At Aahana, clean energy is in their soul, every part of the guest experience. The resort makes conscious use of solar-heated water, energy-efficient air conditioning systems, and architectural choices that maximise natural light to reduce overall energy use. Beyond electricity, a Gobar Gas Plant converts organic kitchen waste into clean fuel for preparing staff meals.
