Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is raising the bar for sustainable tourism in the Maldives through innovative eco-friendly initiatives that protect the environment and promote responsible travel.

The resort has implemented practical measures to minimise its environmental impact, actively involving guests in conservation efforts.

A standout initiative focuses on waste management, particularly the disposal of used batteries. With limited disposal options on the island, guests are encouraged to take batteries back to their home countries for safe disposal. Over five years, this programme has removed thousands of batteries, preventing pollution that could harm marine ecosystems.

The resort has also revolutionised mosquito control by replacing harmful fumigation with sustainable methods to prevent breeding. This protects essential pollinators like bees and butterflies while reducing fuel use and pesticide reliance.

These efforts reflect Ellaidhoo Maldives’ commitment to integrating environmental conservation with exceptional guest experiences, setting an example of how practical, guest-driven actions can preserve the Maldives’ natural beauty for future generations.
