Ewald Biemans Receives Prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for Sustainability Leadership
The unwavering commitment of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort to sustainability has once again earned global acclaim. Founder and CEO Ewald Biemans has been honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from Connoisseur Circle, recognizing his visionary leadership in sustainable hospitality.
A Pioneer in Sustainable Tourism
Long before sustainability became a global movement, Biemans championed responsible travel. Under his guidance, Bucuti & Tara became the Caribbean’s first and only certified carbon-neutral hotel, and it is now on track to achieve full Net Zero status.
From winning Tripadvisor’s Best Hotels in the World to the UN Global Climate Action Award, Bucuti & Tara consistently proves that luxury and sustainability can not only coexist—they enhance one another.
Global Recognition for a Global Vision

Thanks to Biemans’ trailblazing efforts, Bucuti & Tara has garnered accolades from prestigious names like Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler, and is recognized as the most eco-certified resort in the Caribbean. It is also the only hotel to have ever won the United Nations Global Climate Action Award—a testament to the resort’s unique approach to regenerative, responsible travel.
A Legacy That Inspires the Future
As a new generation steps into leadership with Crescenzia Biemans, the future of Bucuti & Tara is set to become even more impactful. Together, Ewald and Crescenzia emphasize that choosing Bucuti & Tara is more than a vacation—it’s an investment in a better tomorrow.
