Our Commitment to a Greener Tomorrow

At JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa, our dedication to exceptional hospitality extends beyond guest experiences—it embraces the natural world that surrounds us.

Swimming Safety

The lagoon is calm and inviting, but your safety comes first. Always swim with a buddy, stay within marked areas, wear a life jacket if needed, check sea conditions with our Dive Centre, and avoid swimming after meals or alcohol. Children must be accompanied at all times.

Protecting Our Environment

We’re committed to reducing waste, conserving water, improving air quality, preserving biodiversity, and supporting our community—while meeting all environmental and safety regulations in the Maldives.

Waste Reduction & Recycling

We reduce waste through island-wide recycling bins, bulk eco-friendly purchases, paper and material reuse, and an AI system by Winnow to track and cut food waste. We've also reduced plastic bottle imports to lower landfill use and emissions.

Green Initiatives

We compost paper, cardboard, and leaves, and bottle our own water—saving 375,000 plastic bottles yearly. Villas use ceramic amenities, biodegradable packaging, and locally sourced fish. All staff receive sustainability training, and we host regular clean-ups and Earth Hour events.

Future Initiatives

Food waste at JW Marriott Maldives is processed in a bio-gas plant to generate fertilizer for plants and cooking gas for the staff kitchen. We’re enhancing waste management by promoting segregation and recycling, and planning to install solar heater panels on floating platforms to reduce petrol consumption

Saving & Preserving Energy

We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint through energy-saving programs. You can help by keeping doors and windows closed when using air conditioning (set at 24°C) and switching off unnecessary lights when leaving your villa. Together, we can make a positive environmental impact.
