Conrad Maldives Earns PADI Eco Center Title for Ocean Conservation

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has been certified as a PADI Eco Center, becoming one of only two luxury resorts in the Maldives to receive this recognition in 2025. The certification underscores the resort’s commitment to marine conservation, guest education, and sustainable operations. 

The resort team has adopted the Conrad House Reef under PADI’s Adopt the Blue programme and conducted Dive Against Debris clean-up dives, collecting 10 kilograms of plastic and metal litter. Earlier this year, the team also joined Green Fins, introducing initiatives such as paperless check-ins, eco-briefings, reduced plastic use, and glass bottle alternatives. 

 Guests are encouraged to take part in coral restoration, with 17 coral line adoptions completed in 2025. “This certification represents a milestone for us,” said Jessica Miller, Marine Biologist at Conrad Maldives. “Watching our guests become part of the solution is what makes this so special.” 

 Nick Flynn, General Manager, added: “This milestone is part of our long-term commitment to sustainability and a testament to how luxury and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.” 

 Ranjit Batra, CEO of Ventive Hospitality, the owning company, said: “The PADI Eco Center recognition underscores our commitment to protecting marine ecosystems while shaping the future of responsible travel.” 

 This certification builds on Hilton’s Travel With Purpose programme, with Conrad Maldives continuing to expand coral adoption, conservation dives, and guest education.
