TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE: SUSTAINABLE LUXURY AT INTERCONTINENTAL MALDIVES
Published on: 22 Dec 2025
What if your Maldives escape allowed you to enjoy world class comfort while also protecting one of the most beautiful places on Earth? At InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort, you can experience a sustainable luxury resort Maldives guests love for its responsible approach to nature, culture and community. Your stay becomes part of something meaningful from the moment you arrive.
A New Kind of Luxury
Luxury does not have to come at the cost of the environment. Here, it becomes a way to protect it. Our location in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve means every choice we make is guided by eco-friendly holidays, green tourism practices and long-term conservation. It is the kind of place where you can unwind deeply and still feel confident that your holiday supports a healthier planet.
Renewable Energy and Waste Reduction
Behind the scenes, our sustainability programs InterContinental Maldives are always in motion. More than 1,500 high-quality solar panels power a significant portion of the resort, making us a leading renewable energy resort Maldives guests can feel proud to support. Water is carefully conserved and recycled, and we work continually toward being one of the finest plastic free Maldives resorts. Even glass waste is repurposed on site, and food waste is monitored to protect resources.
These efforts are not always visible, but they matter. They help protect the delicate island environment that welcomes you each day.
Coral Reef Conservation and Marine Protection
Slip beneath the water and you will see why we are committed to coral reef conservation Maldives travellers admire and appreciate. Our lagoon is home to thriving coral gardens, juvenile manta rays and graceful turtles. Together with the Manta Trust, we support research, restoration and ongoing protection of the area, which has now been recognised as an Important Shark and Ray Area. This strengthens the network of marine protected areas in Maldives, helping safeguard future generations of marine life.
Guests are welcome to take part in ethical tourism experiences that make a difference. You can sponsor a coral frame, join marine biologists on guided snorkelling sessions or learn about the rich underwater world within these protected zones. Every small action helps support biodiversity conservation and the long-term health of our reef.
Sustainable Dining That Tastes as Good as It Feels
Dining at the resort focuses on flavour, freshness and sustainability. We source local seafood responsibly, work closely with nearby communities and design menus around seasonal ingredients. This is how we create sustainable dining experiences that are both delicious and respectful of the environment. Even our AVI Spa follows the same philosophy with locally inspired treatments and refillable amenities.
Travel That Leaves a Positive Impact
Travel with purpose is not a trend for us. It is a promise. From responsible travel initiatives to community engagement and heartfelt hospitality, everything we do supports the islands that make this destination so special.
When you choose InterContinental Maldives, you are not only treating yourself to a beautiful holiday. You are helping protect the ocean, the wildlife and the culture that make the Maldives unforgettable.
Your journey can be luxurious, relaxing and responsible at the same time. And it begins the moment you arrive at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort.
