Become one with nature without the sleeping bag and cold showers at these top ecolodges
From a few early outposts sporting canvas walls and raised wooden walkways, ecolodges now span the globe and all manner of styles. Remote off-the-grid mountain bungalow offer the adventurer a true back-to-the-land encounter, while oceanfront villas of recycled wood make use of organic cotton sheets and the latest green technologies for the sybarite.
