Sunday 13th of August 2023
Luxury meets sustainability as Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fushi, an exclusive private island resort nestled in the tranquil Shaviyani Atoll, deepens its dedication to environmental harmony. Teaming up with Global Green Journeys, the resort is embarking on a journey that marries opulence with eco-consciousness, taking its sustainability initiatives to a higher level.
Empowering Sustainable Solutions
Global Green Journeys, a visionary project, is raising awareness about effective global solutions while championing scalable and sustainable approaches for widespread adoption. This collaboration perfectly resonates with Fairmont Maldives' core principles, enriching its ongoing innovative endeavors. The partnership empowers the resort to design, promote, and implement impactful sustainability programs, fostering a greener future.
Addressing the Plastic Menace
The inaugural project under this partnership is targeted at tackling the global plastic pollution crisis. Utilizing technology developed by Precious Plastic, the initiative focuses on plastic recycling, benefiting local communities while addressing environmental concerns. The project offers a unique glimpse into the resort's on-site Sustainability Lab, the Maldives' pioneer resort-based recycling facility. This endeavor contributes significantly to the worldwide discourse on sustainability.
Celebrity Involvement and Community Empowerment
As part of this venture, two celebrities recently visited the island to collaborate on crafting bespoke products from recycled plastic. These eco-inspired activities also include interactions with local schools as part of the resort's CSR School Education program. This engagement diverts plastic waste to the Sustainability Lab, fostering community involvement and inspiring the next generation to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
Leading the Green Movement
Fairmont Maldives holds the distinction of being the first Fairmont property globally to attain the esteemed Green Globe certification, underscoring its commitment to sustainable practices. Amidst the pristine beauty of the island hideaway lies the Maldives' longest infinity pool, leading guests to the Coralarium. Created by acclaimed eco-artist Jason deCaires Taylor, this underwater art installation doubles as the country's inaugural coral regeneration gallery.
A Luxurious Melange
The resort's 120 luxurious villas, nestled on the ivory beaches, amidst lush island foliage, or perched above the sparkling Indian Ocean, epitomize a blend of chic sophistication and Maldivian rustic allure. Fairmont Maldives offers a holistic experience where luxury and environmental consciousness seamlessly intertwine.

Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fushi, marches forward with purpose, embracing the nexus of luxury and sustainability. Through its collaboration with Global Green Journeys, the resort strides towards a future where environmental preservation and indulgence stand united, proving that opulence and eco-consciousness can coexist harmoniously.
