Australian eco retreat

Eco Beach Wilderness Retreat, one hour south of Broome, Western Australia, has a strong focus on ecologically sustainable tourism and was designed with minimal impact to the resort's breathtaking natural surrounds. Arrive by 4WD, sailing boat, helicopter or light aircraft and expect lazy days on the beach spotting whales (July to October), dolphins and turtles (October to December). At night, you'll sleep in a solar-powered Eco Villa or luxurious safari-style Eco Tent, carefully designed to ensure both privacy and ventilation. Rates start from A$225 per night. www.ecobeach.com.au
