Fringed by a vast lagoon, the coral reef that forms and surrounds the resort islands is one of the most complex ecosystems on earth. Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa, in collaboration with Sub Oceanic, is monitoring the condition of the surrounding house reefs.

Le Méridien Maldives
An eco-conscious hideaway of indigenous flora and fauna surrounded by a shimmering lagoon and coral reefs, the 141 villa resort lies secluded in a southern pocket of Lhaviyani Atoll. To ensure that this biodiversity is not only preserved, but thrives, Le Méridien Maldives is committed to environmental conservation in line with Marriott International's 'Serve 360' sustainability programme.
Restoring and Protecting Natural Structures
The Greenhouse
At 430m2, The Greenhouse is one of the Maldives’ largest state-of-the-art hydroponic farms, purposely designed to promote sustainable farming and consumption. It serves as a blueprint for the resort’s food menus providing a physical link between the plate and Executive Chef’s mindset – one focused not only on creating beautiful food but also on understanding the origins of the ingredients used.
Uniquely Diverse House Reef
Discover Lhaviyani Atoll's 30 dive sites, teeming with diverse marine life, just a stone's throw from the resort. Encounter green turtles, hawksbill turtles, rays, grey reef sharks, and more. The house reef, stretching up to one kilometre, offers sightings of rays, puffer fish, jacks, and coral species. Ideal for all ages, explore Maldives' beauty and learn about climate change effects.
Experiences for the Little Ones
Designed for make-believers, aspiring inventors, junior culinarians, and culture-seekers, it offers an immersive world of toying, tinkering, and free-play. With a fun-filled schedule seven days a week, outdoor activities include marine biology immersion, aqua adventures, gardening, shell collecting, palm leaf art, and nature walks, allowing children to experience the Maldivian spirit firsthand.
Relive in Sustainable Spaces
Mid-century modern design, characterised by clean lines and the use of innovative materials to create iconic designs, serves as a catalyst for the sustainable design of our villas and restaurants.
