Project 100 Coconut Trees: A Step Towards Sustainability and Serenity at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa

This month marks the successful completion of Project 100 Coconut Trees at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, an initiative that has transformed key areas of the Resort with 100 newly planted coconut trees. This project not only enriches the Resort’s natural beauty but also strengthens its sustainability efforts under the Four Seasons For Good program.

The newly planted coconut trees - which include the vibrant Chowghat Orange Dwarf, resilient Malayan Green Dwarf, and high-yielding Gangabondam Hybrid - are now thriving in locations such as Sunset Beach, Sunrise Beach, Reef Island, The Island Spa, and the back-of-house staff area. Each tree is expected to absorb up to 25 kilograms of CO2 annually, helping to reduce the Resort’s carbon emissions by an additional of approximately 2,500 kilograms per year. In addition, these trees will provide natural shade, cooling effects, and enhanced privacy for guests visiting the island.

"Project 100 Coconut Trees is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to creating a harmonious environment for both our guests and the planet," says "With these trees now part of our landscape, we’re contributing to the island’s beauty while taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.”

The Resort also takes accountability across all of its departments and operations through annual EarthCheck assessments, earning the EarthCheck Silver award in 2024.
