Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives, a tranquil island retreat, is setting new standards in eco-conscious living and dining through its very own organic farm. Tucked within its lush grounds, this project embodies innovation and a commitment to sustainability.
The story of the organic farm began in August 2024, shortly after the arrival of the resort’s General manager, Marlon robert. With aision to provide fresh, healthier produce for both guests and staff while championing eco-friendly pracices, the organic farm took root.uests dining at cinnamon dhonveli maldives can now enjoy dishes featuring spinach, basil, watermelons, and pumpkins, with each ingredient growing just steps away from the resort’s kitchen.
Reflecting on the organic farm’s progress, General Manager Marlon Robert shared, “This initiative is just the beginning. Organic farming is a journey, and to truly witness its full potential and impact, we need to give it time. The results we’ve achieved so far are encouraging, and we’re looking forward to seeing even greater outcomes in the coming year.”
The journey to cultivate such a lush and productive farm has not been without its challenges. The team at the resort has embraced sustainable farming methods to ensure the farm thrives in the island’s unique environment. Comoping organic waste from the resort enriches the soil, natural pest control methods keep the produce chemical-free, and crop rotation techniques maintain soil fertility.
uests are invited to explore this verdant space through guided tours, where they can learn about organic farming practices and the resort’s sustainability initiatives. plans are also underway to introduce culinary demonstrations that will feature ingredients freshly picked from the farm. These immersive experiences aim to educate and inspire, providing a deeper connection to the land and the resort’s eco-conscious ethos.
This is also the second organic farm initiative by Cinnamon Hotels & resorts in the maldives, building on the success of the farm at ellaidoo maldives by cinnamon. Through hands-on workshops in the garden, cinnamon hotels & resorts are not just growing fruits and vegetables, but nurturing a vision for a more sustainable future.
