Support sustainability efforts
Patina Maldives in Fari Islands is a new resort that is slated to open later this year. It is also committed to reducing waste in its supply chain and boosting the health of its guests, neighbours and local environment by becoming the first resort in the Maldives with a 100% solar-powered kids’ club, recreation and dive centres.
The hotel is looking to tackle marine plastic pollution and implement a comprehensive coral propagation project, helping establish the Fari Islands as a new standard- bearer for marine conservation in the Maldives.
Even culinary aspects are looked into such as the nose- to- tail, root- toleaf dining — which not only minimises waste, but also advocating the benefits of a plant- based diet. Roots, the signature dining experience at Patina Maldives, is the manifestation of the latter. It is a conscious and conscientious lifestyle and plant- based concept, created responsibly for curious foodies seeking a nutritional food and drink experience without compromising flavour and quality, all in an environment that is ethically produced.
The resort has also built an on- island organic permaculture garden where fresh produce will be cultivated for various departments, reducing greenhouse gas emissions during the supply chain process. Guests are encouraged to explore and forage the variety of vegetables and herbs available within the garden at their leisure.
As part of Patina Maldives’ commitment towards reliance on renewable energy, plans are in place to expand its Swimsol solar plant to provide 50% of the resort’s energy needs. Future plans include investing in long- term blue carbon partnerships and a solar- powered transportation fleet.
During construction of the Fari Islands, energy consumption was reduced by an estimated 12% through sustainable practices such as the use of prefabricated materials, which significantly reduced waste and carbon emissions versus conventional construction methods.
