Eco-Friendly Hotels in Costa Rica — 2026 Guide

Costa Rica is the planet's eco-tourism laboratory. With 5% of global biodiversity crammed into a country the size of West Virginia, 26% of its land protected as national parks or reserves, and an electricity grid running on 99%+ renewable energy, Costa Rica invented what "sustainable travel" actually looks like in practice. From the cloud forests of Monteverde to the Pacific rainforest of Corcovado, the volcanic shores of Arenal to the sea-turtle nesting beaches of Tortuguero — every booking through IMPT removes 1 tonne of CO₂ at the same price as Booking.com. New members get €5 free credit on their first booking.

Why Costa Rica Is the World's Eco-Tourism Capital

No country has done more to prove that environmental protection and economic development aren't mutually exclusive. In the 1980s, Costa Rica was losing forest cover at an alarming rate. By the 1990s, it had reversed course entirely — becoming the first tropical country to halt and reverse deforestation. Today, 57% of the country's land mass is forested, up from 21% in 1987. The national parks system protects everything from Caribbean coral reefs to Andean-altitude cloud forest.

The electricity grid is the envy of the developing world: hydroelectric dams, geothermal plants tapping the country's volcanic activity, and wind farms on the Guanacaste plains combine to keep Costa Rica at 99%+ renewable electricity for most of the year. The government has a target of carbon-neutrality for the entire economy by 2050 — and is one of the few countries on track to hit it.

For travellers, this translates directly to experience. Guanacaste's beaches are nesting grounds for five sea turtle species. The Osa Peninsula protects the largest remaining tract of Pacific coastal rainforest in Central America. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve shelters over 400 bird species including the resplendent quetzal. And the Arenal Volcano — still geothermally active — heats natural hot springs that lodge guests soak in nightly while toucans roost in the canopy above.

How IMPT Works in Costa Rica

Every hotel booking through IMPT removes 1 tonne of UN-verified CO₂ from the atmosphere — funded from IMPT's booking commission, not your wallet. The average hotel night produces roughly 35 kg of CO₂. IMPT retires 1,000 kg per booking: 28 times your stay's footprint. The credits are tokenised on Ethereum, retired against a named project, with a public retire code anyone can verify.

You pay the same rate as Booking.com. New members receive €5 free credit on their first booking. Every stay earns 5% back — 3% funds more carbon projects, 2% as travel credit. For business travel, IMPT's B2B Corporate Travel platform includes automatic CSRD-ready ESG reporting.
