“This has been our driving intent and the main inspiration for ‘perpetuality’, our ethos. Our archipelago at Fari Islands provides us with a scalable opportunity to positively impact our construction, supply chain, operational standards, marine biosphere, and most importantly, community, directly. Marco den Ouden, general manager of the Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, says: “Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, is well aware of the global challenges that are affecting the worldwide carbon footprint. Future plans include investing in long-term Blue carbon partnerships and a solar-powered transportation fleet.
This is supported by the Patina Maldives’ participation in global “carbon sequester” programmes that neutralise its carbon output. Going forward, all drinking water on the island will be produced and bottled in-house with on-island water bottling plant, Nordaq.Ī solar plant by Swimsol (a company specialising in marine offshore solar panels and also the leading solar panel provider in the Maldives) serves as a source of renewable energy, with aims to provide 50 per cent of the resort’s needs by 2030. While it’s easy to dismiss buzzwords, the Patina Maldives has gone above and beyond to prove its dedication to sustainable travel, which is just as well as the Maldives is under severe threat of rising sea levels as a consequence of climate change.ĭuring construction, locally sourced, biodegradable and reusable materials are being incorporated wherever possible (all timber is FSC-certified and sourced from 100 percent transparent supply chains), while all 1,600 workers have been given refillable water bottles to minimise rubbish. The trend for purposeful, responsible travel has a new champion in Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, a luxury archipelago retreat launching later this year built on nurturing sustainable values and a “commitment to perpetuity”.
