The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort has earned the prestigious Green Globe Certificate, recognized worldwide as the leading certification for sustainable travel and tourism. This achievement reflects the resort’s unwavering commitment to environmental conservation, responsible tourism, and sustainability. It also reinforces the resort’s dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the private island and its surrounding marine ecosystem.
Vincent Pauchon, the General Manager of the resort, expressed his pride:
“We are deeply honored to receive the Green Globe Certification, which reflects the dedication of our team in embracing sustainability at every level of our operations. Our commitment to preserving the natural environment of this island is at the heart of everything we do. Sustainability is not just a practice; it is a promise we make to future generations, ensuring that luxury and conservation go hand in hand.”
Commitment to Sustainability and Community Support
The resort integrates sustainability into its operations at every level. In collaboration with Reefscapers, the resort actively participates in coral reef restoration. Guests can join hands-on coral planting activities, directly contributing to preserving the local marine environment. The resort also uses a comprehensive waste management plan, incorporating advanced recycling and composting systems. It prioritizes sourcing organic, locally grown produce and sustainable seafood to reduce its environmental footprint and support local communities.
A key part of the resort’s sustainability journey is Fen, its signature still and sparkling water. Named after the Maldivian word for “water,” Fen comes from the crystal-clear sea that surrounds the island. The resort filters and desalinizes the water on-site through an eco-friendly bottling plant, designed to minimize carbon emissions. For every bottle sold, USD $3 goes directly to the resort’s Blue Fund, which supports coral propagation projects with Reefscapers. Guests can enjoy Fen water for free during breakfast and at the beach. It is also featured on all restaurant and bar menus, helping to reduce single-use plastic waste. Additionally, the resort promotes local products and supports Maldivian artisans, deepening the cultural connection between guests and the island.
The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort stands as the first St. Regis resort on a private island. It offers an exclusive chance to experience a pristine tropical paradise, combining the highest standards of luxury with sustainability. Set against the backdrop of sparkling sand, lush greenery, and the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean, the resort is paving the way for sustainable luxury travel.
