Curtain Bluff Becomes First in Antigua and Barbuda to Earn Green Globe Platinum Certification
Curtain Bluff has become the first property in Antigua and Barbuda to achieve Platinum Green Globe Certification, marking a decade of excellence in environmental sustainability, community outreach, and responsible tourism.
The milestone was celebrated this week during the Caribbean Travel Marketplace, where Toya Turner, Reservations and Revenue Manager at Curtain Bluff, received the official Platinum Certification Plaque from Wendy Walker-Drakes, Managing Director of Green Globe Caribbean.
Tourism Minister Charles “Max” Fernandez joined the celebration, commending the resort’s commitment to sustainable hospitality. “Curtain Bluff has set a national benchmark. This achievement highlights the vital link between tourism and responsible environmental stewardship,” he said.
The Platinum Certification is awarded to properties that maintain Green Globe standards for 10 consecutive years.
Curtain Bluff has been recognised for its leadership in water conservation, producing its own potable water via reverse osmosis and using grey water for irrigation—entirely independent of municipal supply. The resort has also cut plastic use by 40% and invests heavily in local community programmes.
Green Globe CEO Birte Pelayo praised the resort’s long-term commitment. “Curtain Bluff has consistently demonstrated that luxury and sustainability can coexist.
This recognition places them at the forefront of eco-tourism in the region,” she stated.
Anique Goodwin, Human Resource Manager and one of the resort’s Green Globe leaders, expressed pride in the collaborative effort behind the award. “This isn’t just about Curtain Bluff—it’s about empowering our staff and our community to embrace practices that protect future generations,” she said.
Karim King, who oversees security, landscaping, and leisure at the resort, highlighted the resort’s close ties with Old Road village. “Curtain Bluff’s sustainability efforts are deeply personal. They benefit not just our guests, but the community where I was born and raised,” he shared.
This landmark achievement underscores Antigua and Barbuda’s growing reputation as a destination where responsible tourism is not only encouraged but celebrated.

Big up Curtain Bluff! Proud to see local businesses going green.
Platinum certification? Dat nah easy to get—respect to them!
Dis show we can protect our island and still attract visitors.
Curtain Bluff setting the standard for the whole region.
Congratulations to all the staff working hard behind the scenes.
Who gives a crap!!!!! The island still smells like a DIRTY LOCKER ROOM….
This is the BLUFF I knew of, positive vibes, professionalism and excellence all the time. That low down that made the news few months back should’ve never been on the news, since the BLUFF for years had a plan in place for employee who gets to a certain age.
I commend them on their existing efforts. However, why not truly go green via cleaner power, Greener transport options, growing your own fruits and vegetables, etc.. and sponsor such projects in the community. Utilizing RO for water supply is many times a necessity for these resorts and not sure how it is an act of environmental stewardship.
