Patina Maldives adopts a holistic approach to marine conservation, offering guests an immersive coral restoration experience. Guests participate in hands-on ceramic hand-building sessions to craft unique plates used by the resort’s marine biologists in restoration efforts. Their marine biologist, alongside guests, completed 70 coral frames, crafted 360 ceramic structures, and planted 2,300 coral fragments into the house reef since the project’s launch in 2022.
Their dedication to preserving the ocean goes beyond the confines of the resort.
