Who says travel can’t be sustainable or purposeful? In barefoot luxury, it can.

What is barefoot luxury?
Here we go…

Travel, without conspicuous consumption, making unique memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Not by harming the planet with fast tourism, but by a new way of traveling in style. Embracing a barefoot, slower pace of life”

My name is Jo, I am the founder of Barefoot Luxury Travelers (BLT) and your personal Barefoot Luxury specialist. After working for 10 years in the regular travel industry I got the feeling that something was missing…

Barefoot luxury is the new way of luxury travel

Barefoot luxury is the new way of traveling the world. No longer in a race car but an electric car. It’s about embracing the slower pace of traveling instead of rushing from the one destination to the other. Staying in ecolodges who care about the environment and collaborate with the locals. To create a unique experience, you will never forget. Without harming the planet but give back to it.

New ways of luxury:

  • Move enriched in a slower pace

  • Zero plastic policy

  • Enjoying unique views in nature

  • Support local communities

  • Fresh and local products

Barefoot luxury is the new way of traveling the world.

How do you combine luxury, barefoot & exclusivity with sustainability playing a lead role?

Everyone knows that traveling & discovering our beautiful planet often don't go hand in hand and a 100% - footprint only - is difficult to achieve within the travel industry. So, let's focus on what CAN be done!

Each resort is handpicked by our team and offers a unique story in sustainability. Sustainability in the broadest sense of the word: involving the local community when designing & building resorts, a zero waste and food management policy, usage of solar panel systems and water pumps, educative tours for resort customers, educating the local community and so on. 

And no this is not a dream. It’s reality. Every resort is handpicked by me and is part of this barefoot luxury experience. We will continu to travel but you can make a statement. Travel barefoot but in style.
