Eco-consciousness is important to Hurawalhi and restaurants offer organic food at the resort.

The resident marine biologist at Hurawalhi hosts workshops and offshore trips with guests who visit the resort to share their knowledge of the delicate ecosystems and how they are conserving such large areas.

The resort meets its hot water requirements through its high-efficiency system. Waste heat that is produced is converted into electrical energy, enabling guests to enjoy hot showers that do not have an impact on the environment.

Committed to reducing the amount of plastic water bottles polluting the planet, the island resort provides glass bottles from their very own desalination plant. Fresh water is derived from the seawater through reverse osmosis before being mineralised and chilled for guests to enjoy. Having this plant on-site once again eliminates air miles and allows the whole resort to be catered to.

Hurawalhi is home to its very own marine biology centre with an in-house marine biologist. Its conservation efforts offer an understanding of the coral reefs and rare marine life. In partnership with the Manta Trust, biologists conduct research into the population numbers of Manta Rays and study reef ecology. By studying the encounters, biologists can improve tactics to protect them and in close cooperation with Prodivers Maldives, the resort is able to share this passion.

Due to the hot climate of the island’s location, harnessing solar energy is an obvious choice to be made. Solar panels are installed throughout the resort and is equipped with an amount that is equal to the size of 26 volleyball courts (4.102.5m2).
