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 Didier Jardin, General Manager at Four Seasons Kuda Huraa. "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.” 

Aligned with the Four Seasons For Good initiative, which focuses on both Planet and People, Project 100 Coconut Trees is the latest in a long line of inspiring initiatives at Kuda Huraa.  From coral reefscaping and sea turtle rehabilitation to a hospitality apprenticeship for Maldivian youngsters and thriving onsite herb and vegetable gardens, Four Seasons Kuda Huraa prioritises projects that consider both the local environment and community. The Resort also takes accountability across all of its departments and operations through annual EarthCheck assessments, earning the EarthCheck Silver award in 2024.

Through Project 100 Coconut Trees and initiatives like it, Four Seasons continues to elevate the standard of eco-conscious luxury, ensuring that nature and hospitality flourish side by side.
