Sustainable Practices at Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa

The Eco-friendly and Sustainable Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa Maldives

The natural beauty of the Maldives is celebrated worldwide. At Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa, we take pride in delivering an exceptional experience to our guests whilst simultaneously working to help protect and conserve the fragile environment surrounding our island. 

To keep our island of adventure beautiful, we have put in place long-term, sustainable practices that adhere to internationally-accepted standards and continually look for ways to improve our environmental footprint. 

Environmentally-friendly Practices 

Eco Bottles at Vilamendhoo Maldives

To minimise the use of plastics, we have our on-site bottling plant and produce our potable water for our guests and team members. 

Glass water bottles are also used, instead of plastic water bottles,  in our villas, bars and restaurants, which goes the same for our soda glass bottles in our minibars. To support this even further, we introduced our ECO-Bottle in 2019, an aluminium bottle sold to guests at a small charge that can be refilled with drinking water free of charge. Plastic drinking straws have also been replaced with eco-friendly alternatives. With these approaches, we are able to reduce our carbon footprint and the amount of single-use plastic waste discarded every year. 

Supporting Local Communities 

Supporting Local Communities - Vilamendhoo Maldives

Supporting the local community is imperative for us at Vilamendhoo. We employ many Maldivians, with a majority of them from the island of South Ari Atoll. We also support various local charitable causes and community projects such as blood donation drives and sports events, and host cultural nights where we invite Maldivians from our neighbouring islands to join us at the resort.

In addition, we purchase our products from local suppliers and buy fresh fish directly from fishers from nearby islands, providing support to the local economy.

Marine Life & Biodiversity Conservation 

Marine Life & Biodiversity Conservation at Vilamendhoo Maldives

Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa is dedicated to protecting our diverse eco-biology in South Ari Atoll and beyond. Initiatives to conserve our marine eco-system include:

  • Island and beach cleaning, a monthly drive that helps maintain the cleanliness of our beach and house reef. 
  • Prohibiting illegal fishing and fish-feeding activities on our island. 
  • Showing educational video materials on reception TVs and in-house channels to provide guests with valuable information on dos and don’ts on the island and in the sea.

It is evident that we at Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa are committed to playing our part in the conservation of natural resources for our generation and those to come, protecting marine life and biodiversity, reducing waste, and minimising the unnecessary consumption of resources.

Family-friendly Maldives Holidays | Traveling With Children

Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa, the famed dive resort in the South Ari Atoll in the Maldives, is a relatively large island with separate adults-only areas, but it also offers plenty of space for children to be themselves with family-friendly accommodation and facilities.

Children at Vilamendhoo will have lots of fun in the sun, enjoy the soft, sandy beach without fear of getting hurt, and play in the wading pool at the family-friendly Boashi Bar Pool, amidst the island’s tropical gardens. The outdoor playground with a jungle gym is right next to the Boashi Bar Pool, which serves delicious snacks and ice cream for children and cocktails for adults.

It is never too late to introduce children to the joy of diving. Kids from 8 years and above can join theChildren’s introductory SCUBA course – Bubblemaker with our Euro-Diver’s Center. The island is surrounded by an excellent house reef teeming with marine life for guests of all ages to enjoy, either while snorkelling or gazing at the fish from the jetty or edge of the beach.

That’s not all! Youngsters can enjoy a complete excursion program and fun night-time activities to take part in. Babysitting services are available and can be arranged by contacting Reception.

Enjoy a wholesome family vacation with our Family plan that makes it much more affordable.

?Accommodation Tip: Stand-alone Beach Villas accommodate 2 adults and 2 children below the age of 15 years, so no need to rent a second Villa just for the children. Children can have their own beds and baby cots are provided for infants.

When holidaying with extended families and friends or with teens, guests can also opt for Adjoining Beach Villas. These double-stand beach villas are adjacent yet without connecting doors or passages, and share a common verandah.
