Sustainability
Environment & Sustainability at Finolhu
Living in a UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve imposes its own obligations. We protect what sustains us. On Finolhu, we are self-sufficient to a large extent and also act according to our guiding principle: NO PLASTIC. Our osmosis plant converts seawater into drinking water, which is then purified again and bottled in glass bottles – with or without carbon dioxide. We encourage guests not to bring plastic bottles and to take them back if in doubt. There are no plastic straws on Finolhu. And body care products are offered in refillable glass bottles.
Protection of Species
All strategies aimed at the conservation of our ecosystem and the protection of the sea in Baa Atoll have been developed together with the organisation, Parley for the Oceans. Guests can participate in our Citizen Science programme. In it, we collect data on individual animals: Scale patterns of turtles or spot patterns of manta rays or whale sharks, for example. This data is passed on to marine conservation organisations under the care of our own marine biologist. They provide information about populations and mating patterns and thus help to preserve biodiversity.
Social Responsibility
Our social responsibility includes involving the local population. We let our neighbours participate in the economic cycle. Local fishermen from Hithadoo Island supply our resort with fresh catches. Local artists, such as musicians, regularly perform at our resort. For example, the musicians of the Boduberu Band. On our neighbouring island, we support the residents with waste disposal and sustainability. Guests can accompany us on tours to get to know the life and culture of the local population.
Coral Reef Propagation Project
In line with the continuous efforts to safeguard the biodiversity of its abundant marine ecosystems, Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives launches its Coral Reef Propagation Project and invites guests to be part of it.
With the main aim of rebuilding the resort’s reef, the first phase of this initiative will replace the corals that have been lost or damaged over the years as a result of environmental and human impacts. In the long run, it will also increase the number and diversity of species living on the resort’s house reef. Through guest participation, the project also has a strong educational aspect. The regeneration of Finolhu’s reef begins with fragments of coral being attached to spiderweb-shaped frames, which are then placed on the edge of the resort’s house reef to create a coral nursery. The nursery is regularly monitored and maintained to prevent the buildup of algae and remove any predators that could have an adverse effect on the coral.
Guests are able to snorkel out to the nursery to see the progress of the coral growing on the frames. If they then choose to participate in the project, they will receive a certificate and photographic updates of the coral they planted every 6 months. Prices of the frame are USD 150 (Small), USD 300 (Medium) and USD 450 (Heart-shaped). The rates are subject to prevailing service charge and goods and service tax. Moreover, a webpage dedicated for this project will be launched in the near future.
