New Members and Award Upgrades (March 2026)
It’s been a busy month for new memberships and award achievements across the Green Tourism community. We’ve welcomed new members from Indonesia, Jersey, England and Scotland, and a number of existing members have either stepped up to a new award level or had their current award confirmed at reassessment. A special mention goes to Copper Beech Glamping, who achieved a Gold award at their very first assessment!
Desa Hay is a boutique luxury resort in Bali, Indonesia, offering six beautifully designed villas set within private jungle gardens, each with its own pool. With an on-site restaurant serving locally inspired tapas-style dishes and a strong sense of place and tranquility, it offers an intimate alternative to larger resort properties on the island.
The Pines Hotel is an independently run 3-star cliff-top hotel in Swanage, Dorset, located directly on the Jurassic Coast. It offers panoramic Swanage Bay views, 43 comfortable en-suite rooms (many with balconies), a restaurant with local produce, a cliff-top garden, and private beach access.
The Tea with Naughty Sheep experience is a unique, award-winning Scottish tourism experience near Loch Lomond where guests enjoy afternoon tea in a meadow with, or surrounded by, Herdwick sheep.
