Dive into an undisturbed world
The deepest and the largest atoll in the Maldives, Gaafu Alifu is home to a world under the water that has remained intact for generations.

Divers and snorkellers alike can find various hard and soft corals, sponges, sea fans as well as trigger fishes, parrot fishes, fusiliers, tunas, turtles, barracudas, rays (eagle rays, sting rays, manta rays) and sharks (grey reef sharks, white and black tip reef sharks, nurse sharks, leopard sharks).
Home-grown herbs for the Spa
A cultivated garden grows its own herbs for the health-focused beverages offered at the spa in addition to producing home-made virgin coconut oil used in various treatments. This is as organic as uplifting becomes.
Earth Basket Programme
The Residence Maldives launched the Earth Basket Program as an initiative to involve guests young and younger who visit the island with the eco-conscious practices on the island. The wide variety of native produce in the island farm can be hand-picked by guests and handed over to chefs who then get first-hand experience in making mouth-watering Maldivian dishes out of the fresh ingredients.
Sustainability at Heart
The Residence Maldives remains committed to its pledge to protect the environment and the ecosystem to their best potential at all times. The delicate marine seagrass in the home lagoons of both the islands are carefully monitored and protected as part of the ‘Protect Maldives Seagrass’ initiative. The resort has also installed solar panels to produce its own electricity and to reduce its diesel consumption; introduced a rain water harvesting system; removed plastic water bottles and replaced them with glass with the introduction of the water recycling plant; recycled food waste into compost for the Earth Basket kitchen garden and started producing their own herbs, fruits and vegetables which the chefs incorporate into restaurant meals.
