Kemosabe Sustainability Actions

Recognised for sustainable tourism

Heritance Hotels and Resorts has been recognised as pioneering sustainable tourism, and continuously striving to sustain and innovate processes that reduce the impact of its resorts on its surroundings. Proudly adorning the Heritance banner are accolades that matter – such as the LEED and Travelife Gold certifications, testaments to the highly responsible management of the property’s socio-economic and environmental impacts as well as the high level of commitment towards sustainability.

Expanded conservation forest

Heritance Kandalama has largely invested in enhancing the growth of the biodiversity forest oasis this year by incorporating an extra 13 acres into its conservation forest, resulting in a total of 211 acres. This expansion signifies Heritance Kandalama’s enduring commitment to environmental sustainability and aims to create a bridge to the surrounding existing verdant nature reserves.

Created an Eco Park

The Eco Park at Heritance Kandalama is another key initiative maintained by the hotel and the park consists of a plant nursery, bee keeping area, recycling segregation area, paper recycling plant and sustainability learning space developed to create awareness on flora and fauna and sustainability.

Supported turtle conservation

Heritance Ahungalla’s practices prioritize marine conservation and beach preservation. As guests enjoy the beauty of Ahungalla, they are also welcomed to witness and contribute to turtle conservation and mangrove reforestation initiatives. The hotel features a specially designed turtle-shaped structure for waste disposal, where guests are encouraged to responsibly dispose of their garbage as well as those left behind by others on the beach.

Opened a Live Maldivian Village Museum

In 2021, Heritance Aarah achieved a remarkable milestone as the pioneering resort to introduce the immersive concept of a Live Maldivian Village Museum and gallery, offering guests a glimpse into the Maldivian way of life dating back 4,000 years. As they explore the village, visitors can sample traditional food items in the open kitchen, discover the handicrafts and trades that have supported the nation’s economy, and learn about the history of the Maldives and its self-sufficient practices.
