This summer, JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa is pioneering a groundbreaking collaboration with Greek skincare brand KORRES, transforming sun protection into an immersive environmental conservation experience. Set on the pristine island of Vagaru in Shaviyani Atoll, the resort is extending the spirit of World Oceans Day by offering guests a meaningful approach to mindful travel that protects both personal wellness and marine ecosystems.
The innovative partnership introduces a comprehensive sun care initiative that goes beyond traditional resort amenities. Guests will receive complimentary KORRES Yoghurt Sunscreen Emulsion SPF 50 and Yoghurt Sun Care Face SPF 30, featuring formulations explicitly designed to protect sensitive skin while preserving coral reef environments.
Key highlights of the collaboration include:
• Reef-safe sunscreen alternatives free from harmful chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate
• Strategic product placement across resort locations including Horizon Pool and beach cabanas
• Interactive educational experiences about marine conservation
• Complimentary sunscreen exchange program for guests
The resort’s resident marine biologist will enhance the experience through guided House Reef Snorkeling Excursions, offering guests an intimate understanding of marine biodiversity and conservation principles. These immersive experiences transform sun protection into a broader narrative of environmental stewardship.
“We are proud to partner with KORRES this summer to offer our guests a reef-safe sun care solution that protects both their skin and the surrounding ocean,” says Mohit Dembla, General Manager of JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa. “At JW Marriott Maldives, caring for families and the environment are interconnected goals.”
Elite members will receive an additional touch of conscious luxury through curated KORRES products during evening turndown service, seamlessly integrating sustainability into the guest experience. The resort’s commitment extends beyond this summer initiative, with ongoing practices like the organic JW Garden—cultivated using 100% organic fertilizer and a manual irrigation system.
The limited-time program, available throughout July, represents more than a seasonal promotion. It embodies a holistic approach to sustainable tourism, inviting guests to engage deeply with environmental conservation while enjoying a luxurious island retreat.
As families create lasting summer memories, JW Marriott Maldives challenges them to pause, reflect, and actively participate in sustaining the delicate marine ecosystems that surround this extraordinary destination.
