WORLDWIDE: Beyond Green, the worldwide portfolio of sustainable accommodation, has increased its B Corp score on recertification as it expands with new members.

Beyond Green also confirmed ten new and returning member properties between April and the end of June this year including its inaugural properties in Sweden and Mozambique.
These new additions are each required to adhere to more than 100 sustainability indicators aligned with global standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
During Beyond Green’s inaugural Leadership Summit, the brand welcomed back three of its founding members: Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve, along with Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn of The Family Coppola Hideaways (pictured above).
“Rejoining Beyond Green feels like coming home to a shared purpose,” said Jade McBride, president of Ted Turner Reserves. “We’re excited to learn from fellow members who are pushing boundaries in regenerative travel and to share what we’ve learned over decades of private land conservation. Being part of this community elevates us all.”
“We are thrilled to be part of the Beyond Green community once again. Being surrounded by like-minded hospitality leaders who share our values helps us grow and evolve,” said Martin Krediet, general manager of Turtle Inn. “We look forward to learning from fellow members and exchanging ideas we can adapt within our own organisation.”
The most recent new member properties include:
Villa Dahlia (Stockholm, Sweden)
Opened in September 2024, new member Villa Dahlia offers 103 guestrooms and suites and was awarded a BREEAM In‑Use rating of Excellent. The hotel’s architecture and operations are designed for energy efficiency – from water‑saving fixtures and refillable amenities to a linen‑reuse program. Villa Dahlia also partners with the Gustaf III Kommitté and champions local causes like the Childhood Foundation and Stockholm LGBT.
Blancaneaux Lodge (Blancaneaux, Belize)
Tucked deep within the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve, Blancaneaux Lodge is a 20-room retreat originally restored by Francis Ford Coppola as a private family hideaway. Built with locally sourced materials, natural ventilation in place of air-conditioning, and native landscaping that minimises water use, a hydroelectric plant supplies most of the lodge’s energy needs. Blancaneaux also supports a range of impactful community initiatives, including full academic scholarships for local students, clean-up campaigns in the reserve, and donations to food security programmes. On-site eco-tours and plastic-free operations further reflect the property’s dedication to responsible tourism and conservation in the heart of Belize’s highland jungle.This property will be live on the Beyond Green website in the coming weeks.
Turtle Inn (Placencia, Belize)
Situated at the tip of a narrow 26-mile-long sandy peninsula, Turtle Inn (also owned by The Coppola Family Hideaways) is a 25-rooms seafront resort. The resort supports local initiatives, including the annual End of the World Marathon, which funds scholarships for Belizean youth, helping to expand access to education and opportunity. Turtle Inn also contributes to vital conservation programs that safeguard the Belize Barrier Reef UNESCO World Heritage site, and is committed to protecting the surrounding marine ecosystems, and the long-term survival of endemic species. This property will be live on the Beyond Green website in the coming weeks.
Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve (Raton, New Mexico)
Set within more than 550,000 acres of private, protected wilderness in northern New Mexico, Vermejo, a Ted Turner Reserve, is surrounded by lakes, forests, and snowcapped peaks. Vermejo’s sustainability mission centres on large-scale wildlife restoration and ecosystem regeneration. Landmark achievements include the successful repopulation of American bison and the reintroduction of the Rio Grande cutthroat trout—both species once nearing extinction. Guests are invited to engage with these conservation efforts through hands-on experiences like riverbank restoration or bison tracking expeditions.
