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.
