Sustainability At The Heart Of Nautilus Maldives

Wednesday 11th of August 2021

With its growing popularity, environmental and social issues in the Maldives are coming to the limelight with urgent action needed to overcome them for the sustainable future of the island nation. It is crucial to play our part by reducing waste and managing essential waste in an eco-friendly way. The Nautilus Maldives believes that sustainability is paramount in creating a consciously luxurious environment. Wherever feasible, they take a holistic approach to this, considering all aspects such as social, environmental, and economic concerns.

Having the largest concentration of locals in upper managerial positions, the resort pays utmost importance to engage with the local community. They believe that empowering locals to perform, prosper, and flourish in these jobs is critical to fostering a pleasant and long-term working environment. On special occasions, the team strives to include Maldivian customs and culture into as many activities as possible, whether it's visiting a nearby island, seeing a local museum, taking a fun-filled Dhivehi language lesson, or learning some Boduberu.

The resort is home to largest green wall in the Indian ocean, with over 20,000 cleodendron inermes planted. It runs around the centre of the island, dividing the visitor sections from the team member hamlet. It is three to six meters tall, covering a total area of 1,700 square meters. It's an environmentally friendly method to add shade, seclusion, and a refreshing green backdrop to the landscape. Other plants, such as ferns, will be planted when the surrounding trees develop and create a gloomy canopy over portions of the wall.

The undersea world, which surrounds The Nautilus, is equally as essential as what is seen on the island. Therefore, guests are offered the option of adopting a coral frame. These coral frames, which are positioned in the island's lagoon, help to maintain the beauty of our reef while also promoting future growth. Guests may track the progress of their chosen coral frame online using pictures supplied by their resident marine biologist on a regular basis.

This high-end resort won't just be a vacation of a lifetime, but a conscious effort to travel in a more eco-friendly, sustainable way.
