First of it’s kind coral propagation project

Patina Maldives is the Maldives' first and only resort in the Maldives to conduct coral conservation by molding ceramic structures to aid coral growth. The resort has adopted a holistic approach to marine conservation by providing guests with knowledge and opportunities to experience the conservation efforts first-hand. Our marine biologist, along with the guests, teammates and local students have completed over 60 coral frames, 70 ceramic structures, and planted over 3000 coral fragments into the reef.

All food waste is turned into organic fertiliser through bio-digesters. Plant-based Roots, one of the resort’s signature restaurants, operates on the root-to -leaf principle to encourage guests to adopt a more conscious and conscientious lifestyle

Expanding Solar Energy Use to 50% in Next Five Years

Patina Maldives plans to expand renewable panels by the end of 2023, with more rooftop panels being installed on all beach villas, with the ultimate goal of outfitting solar panels on all of the villas at the resort. With this addition, the solar contribution will increase from 15% to 20.8%, with the objective of providing 50% of the resort’s energy needs within the next five years.

Resort Build and Design Reduced Carbon Emissions by over 6,000 Tons

From its inception, the Fari Islands’ development has been guided by sustainable architecture and design. It is the largest hospitality project globally to benefit from the extensive use of offsite manufacturing technology known as ‘Mass Engineered Timber’ or ’MET’, which reduced carbon emissions by over 6,000 tons after production and transportation; in addition, all the villas were prefabricated, to ensure minimal run off into the marine ecosystem Departing from the conventional thatched roof structures prevalent in the Maldives, villas and amenities were designed with flat roofs, allowing solar panels to be easily mounted. This allows the Fari Islands to host one of the latest largest solar installations in the Maldives.

Monitoring

Patina Maldives continues to advance their commitment of purposeful travel with a hands-on, data-led approach resulting in the resort’s EarthCheck Silver Certification. This milestone highlights the resort’s commitment to environmentally conscious practices and business excellence that positively impacts people and place.
