At Vaya Adventures, we believe your choice of accommodations plays a vital role in shaping a meaningful travel experience. That’s why we carefully select small-scale hotels, eco-lodges, and boutique properties that reflect the character of their surroundings and contribute positively to their communities. These stays offer a deeper connection to local culture, landscapes, and traditions.
Many of the properties we feature incorporate sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact and support local livelihoods. From sourcing ingredients from nearby farms and fishermen to designing buildings with native materials and traditional techniques, these hotels reduce waste and preserve natural resources. Energy- and water-saving technologies, low-impact construction, and partnerships with community organizations are just a few of the ways these accommodations are making a difference.
Whether you’re waking up in a solar-powered cabin in the Andes, a forest lodge in Uganda, or a restored farmhouse in the hills of Portugal, these places invite you to travel with care. Below is a sampling of our sustainable accommodation partners across Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America, each offering a unique sense of place and a thoughtful approach to responsible travel.
