Taj Exotica Resort & Spa: Redefining Eco-Luxury in the Maldives
Kuramathi Maldives has renewed the Travelife Gold Certification, a globally recognised accolade highlighting its dedication to sustainability. Travelife is an industry-led programme that values social responsibility as much as environmental management, promoting sustainable practices among tour operators and accommodation providers. Receiving this award required consistent efforts toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals, including maintaining rich biodiversity, monitoring the marine ecosystem, implementing energy and water-saving practices, and collaborating with the local community for education and employment initiatives.
A vital element of Kuramathi’s approach aligns with Travelife’s focus on employee welfare, ensuring fair wages, ethical working conditions, and opportunities for professional development, alongside upholding health and safety standards. Additionally, inclusive practices such as equal employment opportunities and team involvement in sustainability efforts are foundational to cultivating a positive workplace culture where every team member feels a sense of ownership of CSR goals at Kuramathi.
At the heart of these sustainability efforts is the Eco Centre at Kuramathi, managed by a dedicated team that includes a Sustainability Manager, Horticulturist, and Eco Centre Coordinator. Together with the resort’s environment committee—comprising members from various operational areas, this team drives initiatives that foster environmental, social, and economic sustainability. By minimising environmental impacts, enhancing community benefits, and upholding human rights and fair labour practises, Kuramathi exemplifies responsible tourism, blending growth and conservation harmoniously.
