Amilla Celebrates EarthCheck Silver Certification

Amilla Celebrates EarthCheck Silver Certification
After working hard to make the island sustainable, Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences is celebrating becoming EarthCheck Silver Certified.

After working hard to make the island sustainable, Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences is celebrating becoming EarthCheck Silver Certified. EarthCheck is the leading environmental benchmarking programme in the global travel and tourism industry.

From collecting precious rainwater to energy reduction projects, the achievement was two years in the making. Efforts included producing and bottling desalinated, mineralized water on-site as well as using the island’s plentiful space to grow as many vegetables, fruit and herbs as possible. The management of waste on the island also plays a part. The new waste processing facility, ‘The UN’ (short for ‘UNdo the Harm in the World’) sorts all of the island’s waste, identifying much of it for recycling.

Amilla also made many inroads in reducing the volume of waste through bulk purchasing items, as well as sourcing compostable products, such as vacuum pack bags and pot scrubbers.

The Islanders are also planning a solar outdoor lighting project, which launches soon. Amilla Maldives’ Sustainability and Wellness Manager, Victoria Kruse, took on the challenge of making Amilla sustainable in 2019. Two years down the line, she is delighted to see the hard work paid off.

The EarthCheck Silver certification recognises the concerted efforts the whole Amilla team has made over the past two years in devising, committing to and implementing the many sustainability initiatives we have put in place. As the resort’s first-ever Sustainability and Wellness Manager, I could not be more proud of our team in supporting these measures, both the ones we’ve achieved and those planned in the future. Sustainability and reducing the impact on our environment can only come from a whole team effort, and the Silver Certification we received today is an important external recognition of all the hard work that our whole team makes in these efforts.

Victoria was also the brains behind the resort’s hugely popular ‘Wellness Your Way’ (WYW) menus, featuring fresh produce grown steps away from the restaurants, in Amilla’s new organic gardens. These unique menus cater to guests with special dietary requirements, such as gluten-free diets, as well as lifestyle diets such as keto and paleo.

Angsana Velavaru Launches Personalized Proposal Packages for Couples

Angsana Velavaru Launches Personalized Proposal Packages for Couples

Set in the quiet beauty of the South Nilandhe Atoll, Angsana Velavaru offers couples a chance to begin their forever with a proposal they’ll never forget. The resort, known for its peaceful setting and natural elegance, has launched a series of personalised proposal experiences that go beyond the usual romantic package.

At Angsana Velavaru, couples don’t just ask a question. Instead, they create a memory that reflects their unique journey. The resort carefully designs each experience to match the couple’s story. For example, some choose to walk along a private beach at sunset. Others propose on the rooftop of one of the resort’s iconic InOcean Villas. These overwater villas sit apart from the main resort, offering sweeping ocean views and complete seclusion for a truly intimate moment.

Moreover, the team at Angsana Velavaru handles every detail with care. They work quietly to make sure everything runs smoothly, so couples can stay fully present in the moment. In addition, guests can personalise their experience with thoughtful touches like a private dinner under the stars or a discreet photographer to capture the proposal.

What truly sets these experiences apart is the resort’s dedication to storytelling. Rather than offering a standard romantic package, Angsana Velavaru focuses on each couple’s relationship and preferences. As a result, every proposal feels meaningful and entirely unique.

Angsana Velavaru, a nominee for the South Asia Travel Awards’ “Most Romantic Resort,” continues to offer more than just beautiful surroundings. Ultimately, the resort creates a space where important moments feel natural and deeply personal. With these new proposal experiences, Angsana Velavaru warmly invites guests to start their next chapter in a setting as unforgettable as the promise they make.
