Dusit Thani Maldives to focus on Green Energy Solutions

Feb. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Dusit International confirms the opening of Dusit Thani Maldives on 6 February 2012.   Surrounded by a vibrant 360-degree coral reef and turquoise lagoon, this island property features pearl white sandy beaches and a rich landscape of verdant vegetation.  Dusit Thani Maldives is considered a landmark addition to this fast expanding brand.

Located on Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll, Dusit Thani Maldives is 35-minutes by seaplane from the capital Malé,  Blending Maldivian architecture with Thai artistry, the 100-villa resort features Dusit’s signature Devarana Spa, uniquely elevated above a grove of coconut palm trees.  The resort’s centrepiece is the expansive infinity swimming pool, the largest in the Maldives, a full 750 square metres designed around an ancient banyan tree.  Dusit Thani Maldives is an ideal haven to explore the marine biodiversity of Baa Atoll, the first UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in the country.

“Our resort has the distinction of being located in a world-renowned UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where the rich tropical waters are filled with a diverse array of marine life, namely seasonal gatherings of the gentle giants: manta rays and whale sharks,” says Lauren Arthur, resident marine biologist of Dusit Thani Maldives.  “We invite guests to enhance their experience by planting new coral, joining reef clean ups, and monitoring sea turtle nesting.”

With the goal of living in harmony with the local environment, Dusit Thani Maldives is focused on green energy solutions.  Biodegradables are used for composting, fertilising and landscaping while staff do their part by cultivating a herb and vegetable garden lowering the carbon footprint and reducing the reliance on imported produce.  To ensure minimal impact on the environment, the resort invested in state of the art engineering for optimum energy and resource efficiency.  Its approach includes solar thermal heating and heat recovery pumps, all metered for power consumption in guest rooms and public spaces.  An on-site water-bottling factory produces still and sparkling mineralized water to reduce one-way plastics.  Additionally the hotel laundry is heated by a diesel steam boiler using minimal electricity.  LED (light emitting diode) lights also illuminate all guest areas at the property.
