Fairmont Maldives offers EV airport transfers
Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fush private island has partnered with electric car brand, Polestar to offer sustainable airport transfers.
Guests will be transported from Malé Airport to the seaplane lounge in a Polestar 2, before embarking on the seaplane journey to the island.
This new offering adds to Fairmont Maldives’ existing sustainability initiatives, including its solar farm, Coralarium, and new Sustainability Lab.
After arriving in Velana International Airport in Malé, guests will be greeted by a Fairmont Maldives representative and escorted to the seaplane check-in, where their private Polestar 2 transfer will be waiting.
Fairmont Maldives has been innovating in the eco-travel space since its inception in 2018.
Guests can explore the Coralarium, an underwater art gallery and coral regeneration project.
The latest initiative is the Sustainability Lab, which turns ocean waste including plastic, into souvenirs such as luggage tags and essential products for local schools.
Additionally, a Turtle Ranger programme teaches young travellers the various conservation techniques used to better protect this endangered species.
These initiatives are part of Fairmont Maldives’ Save the Ocean programme which is split into three key projects; reef conservation, the Sustainability Lab, and an educational awareness campaign for guests and the local community.
