Because luxury should feel good—and do good too.
Sustainability isn’t a trend. It’s the new benchmark for meaningful luxury—and these new hotel openings are leading the way.
At COZY, we believe in travel that leaves a mark on your soul, not the planet. And as more hotels step up with purpose-driven design and environmental integrity, the choice to travel consciously is no longer a compromise—it’s a privilege.
From carbon-positive city stays to mountain sanctuaries built for renewal, these seven properties are redefining what it means to stay in style.
Populus — Denver, USA
Urban sustainability with architectural flair.
Located in the heart of downtown Denver, Populus is the first carbon-positive hotel in the United States. Designed by Studio Gang, the aspen tree-inspired façade isn’t just visually iconic—it improves energy efficiency and natural lighting. The hotel runs entirely on renewable energy and offsets more carbon than it emits by planting over 70,000 trees. A city escape that leads by example.
COZY Tip:
Ask for a west-facing room to soak in the Rocky Mountain sunsets and make time for a drink at the rooftop bar.
Forestis Dolomites — South Tyrol, Italy
Wellness, elevated—literally and spiritually.
Perched 1,800 meters above sea level in the UNESCO-protected Dolomites, Forestis is designed around the philosophy of harmony with nature. This adults-only alpine retreat uses spring water, mountain air, and locally sourced wood to shape its experience. Sustainability is woven into every detail—from the minimalist architecture to its slow food concept and holistic spa rituals. It’s a place to reset, reconnect, and realign with the rhythms of nature.
COZY Tip:
Book a Forest Spa Suite for your own panoramic sauna and deep-soaking tub with Dolomite views. Start your day with a silent sunrise meditation on the terrace—trust us, it’s a reset you didn’t know you needed.
Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve — Saudi Arabia
Remote luxury rooted in preservation.
Floating above the untouched waters of the Red Sea, Nujuma is Ritz-Carlton Reserve’s Middle East debut—and it’s a masterpiece of quiet sustainability. Part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Red Sea Project, the property is fully powered by renewables and carefully integrated into its surroundings to support marine life and coastal preservation. With overwater villas, curated experiences, and minimal impact, this is remote done responsibly.
COZY Tip:
Let your COZY advisor arrange a stargazing night on a private sandbank. The Red Sea skies are crystal clear—and best paired with mint tea and the sound of absolute stillness.
Post Hotel by Elie Saab — Andermatt, Switzerland
Where haute couture meets heritage.
This reimagined 18th-century post office in the Swiss Alps is a stunning blend of heritage and high fashion. Designer Elie Saab has infused the interiors with refined glamour, while the hotel remains committed to sustainability through energy-efficient systems and conscious renovations. It’s a quiet nod to the past with a clear vision for a greener future.
COZY Tip:
Visit in shoulder season to enjoy Andermatt’s charm without the crowds. Take the Glacier Express scenic train before or after your stay for a dose of Swiss magic, COZY-style.
Shebara Resort — Sheybarah Island, Saudi Arabia
A desert-island dream, reengineered for the future.
One of the most visually arresting properties in the Red Sea Project, Shebara features floating villas with mirrored façades that blend into sea and sky. The resort is powered entirely by solar energy and constructed with minimal impact to the fragile marine ecosystem. Preservation and cutting-edge design come together to create an experience that’s both immersive and intentional.
COZY Tip:
Request a villa on the outer ring for uninterrupted sea views and a sense of total seclusion. Early morning swims followed by in-villa breakfast? That’s the move.
Villa Petriolo — Tuscany, Italy
From Renaissance roots to regenerative hospitality.
This 15th-century farmhouse has been transformed into a sustainable sanctuary in the heart of Tuscany. Powered by the sun and producing nearly everything it serves—wine, olive oil, vegetables, honey—Villa Petriolo embodies the essence of farm-to-table hospitality. Here, slow living isn’t a concept—it’s a lifestyle you can taste.
COZY Tip:
Join the seasonal harvest if you’re visiting in spring or fall—truffle hunting, olive oil pressing, or grape picking. You’ll never look at your plate the same way again.
Soneva Fushi & Soneva Jani — Maldives
Pioneers of paradise with purpose.
Soneva has been defining sustainable barefoot luxury for over two decades. From zero-waste kitchens and solar-powered villas to an on-site recycling facility and carbon-neutral guest experiences (yes, even your flight), Soneva continues to raise the bar. These resorts are proof that you don’t have to choose between indulgence and integrity—you can have both.
COZY Tip:
Ask your butler to arrange the “Cinema Paradiso” experience: an open-air movie night under the stars with handcrafted snacks and your feet in the sand. It’s barefoot luxury at its best.
Travel That Leaves a Lighter Footprint
These hotels are more than just places to sleep—they’re beacons of what the future of travel can look like: responsible, immersive, and deeply fulfilling.
