Environmentally Conscious
The environment at the heart of Kudadoo
Eco-conscious
A new vision to sustainable luxury living in the Maldives
Kudadoo prides itself on a range of undertakings that establish it as one of the Maldives’ most sustainable resorts. Keeping the health of the precious natural environment and consequently yours in mind with everything we do, to the best of our abilities, Kudadoo is an eco-hideaway where luxury and nature prominently complement each other.
Water is life
Desalination and water bottling
Further decreasing Kudadoo’s environmental footprint is its supply of glass-bottled drinking water from a plant on a nearby sister property. This proximity reduces the amount of plastic and significantly reduces carbon emissions related to transport.
Solar power
A fully solar-powered resort
The Retreat’s roof incorporates 984 solar panels that span an area of 1643m2 and can produce 575MWh of power annually and generate a peak power of 320kWp, enabling Kudadoo to be purely powered by the sun.
Leave only footprints
Minimising single-use plastics
Kudadoo says 'No, thank you!' to plastic straws and utensils known to cause significant damage to the health of our planet. Sustainable, biodegradable materials are used instead to help protect the environment from debris and microplastics that poison our ocean and consequently our lives that inevitably depend on it.
Green architecture
Sustainably sourced wood
All wood, originates mainly from Canada, New Zealand and Indonesia, and have been sustainably sourced and managed, inflicting no damage to wildlife and land.
