SAii Lagoon Maldives, a distinguished member of the Curio Collection by Hilton, has been awarded Gold certification under the Events Industry Council (EIC) Sustainable Event Standards (SES). This prestigious recognition highlights the resort’s steadfast dedication to environmental sustainability and social responsibility, which are integral to every facet of its operations.
The EIC SES framework evaluates a venue’s sustainability performance across several critical areas, including climate action, water conservation, waste management, diversity, and social impact. SAii Lagoon Maldives has demonstrated exceptional performance in these categories, showcasing a comprehensive approach to creating an environmentally responsible and socially inclusive environment for both guests and the local community.

By eliminating single-use plastics and reducing carbon emissions, the resort underscores its commitment to mitigating its environmental impact.
SAii Lagoon Maldives is also dedicated to supporting the local community. The resort actively partners with local artisans, students, and businesses to promote sustainable tourism and engage guests in preserving the island’s natural beauty. The Marine Discovery Centre and the Maldives Discovery Centre play pivotal roles in marine and cultural conservation. These facilities offer guests the opportunity to participate in hands-on educational and conservation activities, such as coral planting and interactive heritage tours.
SAii Lagoon Maldives continues to set new standards for sustainable luxury, demonstrating that exceptional hospitality can coexist with a profound commitment to sustainability. This Gold certification is a significant milestone in the resort’s mission to serve as a model of responsible tourism in the Maldives.
