Bandos Maldives has been awarded the Green Globe Certification, one of the most renowned
sustainability recognitions in the travel and tourism industry, underscoring our long-standing
dedication to preserving the environment and upholding one of our guiding values, “Environmental
Stewardship.”
Bandos has been known popularly as the “Island of Hospitality” for generations, welcoming guests
with Maldivian hospitality in its real sense. Today, this reputation supports another side of our
hospitality, that is, our dedication to maintaining the natural beauty and variety of the Maldives for
generations to come.
Energy & Technology That Respect Nature
The certification is a reflection of the resort’s continuous efforts to embrace beneficial eco-friendly
measures in all its operations. From investing in four state-of-the-art desalination plants that produce
high-quality fresh water, to eliminating over 250,000 single-use plastic bottles annually with the help
of refillable glass alternatives, Bandos ensures that it minimizes its footprint on the environment
Bandos Maldives has also introduced energy-efficient practices throughout the resort, including LED
lighting and power management systems. These practices make sustainability an integral part of daily
operation, whether in villas and restaurants or in back-of-house systems.
The Green IT initiatives and recycling focus of hardware as well as paper reduction by the resort show
a general commitment to the sustainable use of technology and carbon footprint reduction.
Similarly, the resort has eliminated plastic straws and substituted them with biodegradable paper
straws and reusable stirrers to minimize single-use plastic even further
Sustainability at Bandos is a matter not only of policy but also of people. It involves engaging guests to
be a part of it, either by selecting refillable water, taking part in awareness initiatives, or getting
educated about behind-the-scenes water and energy saving measures.
A Commitment Beyond Words
“Our goal is to create memorable experiences while ensuring we protect the environment that makes
the Maldives so unique,” said Ismail Rasheed, General Manager of Bandos Maldives. “The Green Globe
Certification is not a destination, but a milestone that inspires us to keep pushing forward.”
By attaining this certification, Bandos Maldives reaffirms its commitment to a sustainable future.
Every little choice, from power efficiency to environmentally friendly dining, adds up to a grander
vision: preserving paradise while delivering world-class guest experiences.
Sustainability isn’t a responsibility for Bandos. It’s a way of giving respect to the island, its people, and
every guest who sets foot on its shores.
