Maldives resorts are making sustainability a bigger part of the luxury experience, with investments in coral restoration, solar power, hydroponic gardens and food-waste management. RAAYA by Atmosphere composts around 600 kg of organic waste monthly, while Conrad Maldives has eliminated 90% of single-use plastics and operates a 500-square-metre hydroponic garden. The shift reflects growing demand for responsible luxury while protecting the destination’s fragile marine ecosystem
