Milaidhoo Maldives, nestled in the heart of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Baa Atoll, isn’t just a luxurious escape—it’s a sanctuary committed to preserving the stunning natural wonders that make the Maldives a coveted destination.
Milaidhoo takes an active role in coral planting and reef cleaning. Guests along with the resident marine biologist collaborate, to nurture loose coral fragments and restore damaged areas. The resort’s team meticulously plants them onto new coral frames, ensuring the long-term health and vitality of its magnificent house reef. It’s a hands-on approach to protect this underwater world.
Water is a precious resource in the Maldives. Milaidhoo recognises this and treats wastewater to a high standard, making it safe for repurposing. By using treated water for irrigation, the resort champions sustainable landscaping practices, reducing freshwater consumption and caring for its surroundings.
Milaidhoo is deeply rooted in its local community. Wherever possible, it sources supplies from local businesses, supporting the regional economy while also reducing carbon emissions tied to international transportation. The island isn’t just about in-house efforts—it collaborates with esteemed organisations in the Maldives to create a positive impact on the environment and marine life. Milaidhoo also dedicates itself to corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, contributing to local development projects.
Reducing energy consumption without compromising comfort is a top priority at Milaidhoo. During low occupancy periods, the island optimises lighting systems and employs energy-efficient technologies, effectively reducing energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainability shines through even the smallest details. Milaidhoo also encourages guests to embrace the concept of spacious outdoor living, as the villas can open up 180 degrees to invite the surrounding nature to blend in with your own private villa.
Sustainable dining is a true art at Milaidhoo, showcased by the introduction of the chef’s garden. Here, organic farming techniques produce fresh greens on the island. By reducing reliance on imported produce, the resort not only elevates the culinary experience but also lessens the environmental impact tied to long-distance food transportation. It’s a farm-to-table approach that nurtures both the body and the planet.
At Milaidhoo Maldives, sustainable luxury isn’t a concept; it’s a commitment. Exceptional guest experiences and environmental preservation go hand in hand. Through these initiatives and collaborations, Milaidhoo aims to inspire guests and industry peers alike to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to the conservation of the Maldives’ breathtaking natural treasures.
