Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is deeply committed to community involvement and environmental stewardship. This September, the resort is embracing IHG’s ‘Giving for Good’ initiative with a month-long program designed to create a positive impact on both the local community and the environment.
The resort’s staff and guests will come together for a variety of activities, united by the shared goal of fostering positive change. Mark Eletr, General Manager of Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, emphasizes the importance of giving back, stating, “Through IHG’s ‘Giving for Good’ initiative, we’re not only creating lasting memories for our guests but also making meaningful contributions to the local communities and environment.”
Environmental initiatives are at the forefront of the program. The resort staff will embark on a tree-planting project in Maafushi, aiming to enhance the island’s ecological health and contribute to its scenic beauty. This project underscores the resort’s dedication to sustainable practices in the Maldives.
Supporting local communities is another key element of the ‘Giving for Good’ program. The resort will visit the Hulhumale Autism Centre, delivering books and toys to bring joy to the children and provide valuable resources for their development. The team will also host a special lunch for children at the Children’s Centre, providing essentials to make their daily lives a little easier.
Furthering their commitment to community well-being, the resort will host a Blood Donation Camp, inviting employees to contribute to a vital cause. A ‘Walk for a Cause’ along the scenic Kandooma Beach will bring staff members together in solidarity, promoting both physical health and community spirit.
Beyond these specific initiatives, the resort will actively engage in a clean-up drive at the Guraidhoo Sandbank, followed by tree planting to further enhance the environment. Additionally, the team will collaborate with locals on small renovation projects in Gulhi and Guraidhoo, aiming to create improved spaces that benefit the local communities.
Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is more than just a stunning island paradise. Nestled in the South Male Atoll, just a 40-minute boat ride from the airport, this resort boasts white sandy beaches, towering coconut palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, providing the perfect backdrop for an array of leisure activities and some of the finest diving experiences in the Maldives.
Guests can choose from a range of accommodation options, including Garden and Beach Villas, two-storey Beach Houses, and the popular Overwater Villas. Families will find themselves well-accommodated with 2- and 3-bedroom villas, the vibrant Kandoo Kids’ Club, and a full activities program. The resort also features six dining venues, allowing guests to savor the flavors of the Maldives while satisfying their appetites. For ultimate relaxation, sun loungers and hammocks are dotted across the island, while the serene Kandooma Spa by COMO Shambhala provides a sanctuary for both body and mind.
