Dear guests,

Greetings from the Maldives!

Sustainability is at the heart of Crown & Champa Resorts. As such, we ensure that we take great care of the environment in which our resorts operate. From land to sea, we do our best to maintain the unspoilt beauty of nature. It was important for us to celebrate World Environment Day and World Oceans Day in all our properties with various activities such as island and lagoon cleanups. Further, we continue to look into implementing more environment-friendly measures to work alongside the initiatives we have in place.

Kudadoo Maldives Private Island by Hurawalhi was recognised as the best Sustainable Project, in the recently announced 2019 HD Awards by Hospitality Design Magazine. The premier competition celebrates the best in hospitality project and product design worldwide. Our sales team has been attending various summits and roadshows in an effort to forge great business relationships and to promote our award-winning resorts.

With the summer holidays fast approaching, we would be delighted to welcome your family to our resorts. Most of our properties offer ample family-friendly facilities, allowing you to create special lifelong memories with your dear ones. Tailored programmes for kids, provided by the kid’s clubs in Meeru Island Resort & Spa and Kuredu Island Resort & Spa, guarantee that your children will have a fantastic time while on holiday.

Heart of CCR Sustainability

Taking Care of Our Environment

June 5, 2019

Every year on June 5, the world comes together to celebrate World Environment Day. This year, the theme for this special day is #BeatAirPollution, bolstered by a campaign that seeks to ensure everyone has access to clean air. United Nations Environment estimates that 9 out of 10 people across the world breathe polluted air. There are five main human causes of air pollution, namely, household indoor burning of fuels, industries, agriculture, transport and waste.

As Crown & Champa Resorts, our efforts in taking care of the environment are guided by our Sustainability Report. We are studiously committed to carrying out our operations in ways that ensure minimal harm to the environment. In relation to combatting air pollution, we encourage our guests and staff to avoid food wastage. Organic waste such as food and plants emit methane, which contributes to ground-level ozone that causes respiratory diseases. Most importantly, we continue to implement cleaner, alternative sources of energy, such as solar, to reduce our reliance on fuels.

Our other environmentally friendly initiatives include water bottling plants that reduce plastic consumption, greenhouses, desalination systems, food and water recycling facilities and frequent island, reef and lagoon cleaning projects. In most of our properties, we have implemented eco-friendly straws and bottles to reduce the use of single-use plastics. Read more about our sustainability measures here.

Taking care of the environment is a collective effort that is crucial to the survival of the human population. We urge you to also play your part in ensuring that the world is a better place. Simple measures such as cycling to work, serving smaller portions of food and separating your waste, can go a long way in reducing air pollution. Together, we can work towards beating all kinds of pollution across the world.

Defining Excellence in Hospitality

May 29, 2019

At Crown & Champa Resorts, we strive to provide excellent hospitality that ensures the highest standard of customer satisfaction. However, without the support of guests, partners and our incredible team, these efforts would be futile. We are proud to announce that we were awarded the 2019 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor.

This award is bestowed on businesses that have consistently garnered great reviews on TripAdvisor, with only a small percentage of companies being able to accomplish that. For us, most of our properties received the 2019 Certificate of Excellence, with some of them entering into the Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame. The latter is in recognition of properties that have been awarded the Certificate of Excellence every year for the last five years.

The properties that received the 2019 Certificate of Excellence are Hurawalhi Island Resort, Komandoo Island Resort & Spa, Kuredu Island Resort & Spa, Meeru Island Resort & Spa, Veligandu Island Resort & Spa and Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa.

We wish to thank all the guests who share feedback on review platforms, helping spread the news of the greatness of Crown & Champa Resorts. While we appreciate the awards, our greatest reward lies in satisfying guests’ needs.
