Bandos Maldives’s Island Sustainability Strategy

Bandos Maldives has spearheaded initiatives to increase self-sufficiency while preserving fragile ecosystems. The resort continues to grow a limited supply of vegetables and herbs at its onsite garden. However, ambitious plans will lead to the cultivation of more organic produce to meet the ever increasing demands of the resort kitchen for fresher, local and sometimes, native, ingredients for dishes. The kitchen garden will contribute greatly toward a more sustainable food system while reducing the need to import produce and lowering emissions associated with supply chains.

Through investing in four state-of-the-art desalination plants and refillable glass alternatives, Bandos Maldives has successfully eliminated over 250,000 single-use plastic water bottles annually, significantly reducing plastic waste and promoting a cleaner environment. The next step will be to eliminate even more plastic items from its shores.

With these comprehensive sustainability measures, Bandos Maldives aims to establish a sustainable hospitality model that will flourish for years to come, ensuring that the island remains a vibrant, living paradise for future generations.
