The Maldives faces unique environmental challenges, and sustainable tourism practices are crucial for protecting this island paradise.

Eco-Friendly Resorts

Many resorts now implement solar power, desalination plants, and waste management systems. Look for properties with Green Globe or EarthCheck certifications.

Marine Conservation

Join coral restoration projects, participate in beach cleanups, and support resorts that protect marine life. Always use reef-safe sunscreen when swimming.

Supporting Local Communities

Choose locally-owned guesthouses, buy handicrafts from local artisans, and dine at restaurants serving traditional Maldivian cuisine to support the local economy.
