Tiamo
Bahamas

This solar-powered 11-bungalow hideaway, set alongside a stretch of perfect alabaster sand on the largely undeveloped South Andros Island, uses less electricity per month than one average American household. It manages this feat with a host of ingenious touches, like wraparound porches that shield the cottages' colorful interiors from the sun, and a bank of small refrigerators instead of an energy-hungry walk-in. Other eco efforts include a ban on unsustainably harvested seafood (even local catches like conch) and a program to host visiting biologists.
South Andros Island; 954/889-7076; tiamoresorts.com; doubles from $830, including meals.
