Kaimoo Resorts & Hotels, owners and operators of Embudu Village, Summer Island Maldives and Equator Village resorts, have announced opening dates for properties alongside rigorous new hygiene measures to reassure guests.

Equator Village Maldives, located in Gan, the former Royal Airforce base, will open on 01 August 2020 while Embudu Village and Summer Island Maldives is scheduled to open on 01 September 2020. Mookai Hotel and Mookai Suites, two properties in the capital city of Malé, will also open 01 September 2020.

The Maldivian government has announced that the international borders will be reopened in time for the summer holiday season, on 15 July.

In order to prepare for the reopening and to reassure guests, Kaimoo has put in place a stringent set of new health and safety protocols. These measures include increasing the frequency of cleaning, and regular sanitization of guest rooms, restaurants, bars and other high-contact areas.

Guests will check-in at their villas, minimizing the time spent at communal areas, and practice social distancing at the resort. Strict cleaning protocols will ensure the cleanliness of transfer boats. These new procedures are science-driven and will use technology solutions to reduce the impact on the environment.

We have implemented these new measures to reassure our guests that they can have both a relaxing and safe holiday at our properties. Our staff will undergo training on how to implement these new measures. We will also put in place new protocols so that these measures and important updates are communicated promptly and transparently to guests.

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO Earns Green Globe Gold for Fifth Year in a Row

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO Earns Green Globe Gold for Fifth Year in a Row

In an era where luxury and sustainability often seem at odds, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO proves that they can coexist in perfect harmony. THE OZEN COLLECTION proudly announces that the resort has earned the prestigious Green Globe Gold Certification for the fifth consecutive year. This achievement recognizes OZEN LIFE MAADHOO’s unwavering commitment to environmental preservation, while delivering world-class luxury. By blending innovative practices with the Maldives’ pristine natural beauty, the resort continues to lead the way in eco-conscious hospitality.

A Commitment to Marine Conservation

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO’s success stems from its innovative approach to conservation. In-house marine biologists lead a coral restoration project that has revived a 300-meter stretch of the house reef. They use 80 coral frames to nurture over 2,000 coral fragments, contributing to a vibrant marine ecosystem. The resort partners with organizations such as Manta Trust, Olive Ridley Project, and Parley to strengthen its efforts, and it will soon join forces with Miyaru NGO to expand marine protection initiatives. Additionally, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO engages guests in environmental education, raising awareness about ocean conservation.

According to Nuria Camps Suarez, the Head Marine Biologist at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO:

“Our coral restoration project is more than conservation—it’s a promise to future generations. By reviving our house reef, we’re rebuilding a thriving ecosystem. Partnering with organizations like Manta Trust and Parley amplifies our impact, ensuring the Maldives’ marine legacy endures.”

Pioneering Renewable Energy Solutions

The resort has also committed to reducing its environmental impact through renewable energy. OZEN LIFE MAADHOO boasts one of the largest floating solar panel systems in the Maldives. The system consists of 12 platforms with 720 panels, along with 1,095 rooftop solar units, generating 30% of the resort’s energy needs. This significantly reduces the reliance on fossil fuels and sets a strong example of clean energy use.

In addition, the resort embraces a zero-waste philosophy, utilizing advanced waste management systems. Each week, an automated organic composter processes 3 tons of green waste, transforming it into nutrient-rich fertilizer. Garden clippings undergo shredding and conversion into compost, and the resort repurposes crushed glass bottles for small construction projects. These initiatives showcase OZEN LIFE MAADHOO’s commitment to reducing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.

A New Era in Dining Practices

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO also pioneers sustainable dining with its hydroponic farm. By growing lettuce and herbs in a soilless system, the farm reduces water consumption from 250 liters to just 50 liters per kilogram. The system now meets 70% of the island’s lettuce demand, providing guests with fresh, organic ingredients that align with the resort’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Guests enjoy these farm-to-table meals in the resort’s award-winning restaurants, knowing they are supporting eco-friendly practices while savoring flavorful dishes.

Seamlessly Blending Luxury and Eco-Consciousness

What truly distinguishes OZEN LIFE MAADHOO is how seamlessly its eco-friendly initiatives blend with the guest experience. From snorkeling in regenerated coral reefs to dining on hydroponically grown ingredients, guests can indulge in luxury while remaining mindful of their environmental impact. OZEN LIFE MAADHOO continues to set the standard for eco-conscious hospitality, aligning with THE OZEN COLLECTION’s philosophy of ‘Refined Elegance.’ Every stay not only offers an unforgettable experience but also leaves a lasting, positive imprint on the planet.
