With the Environment in mind

Plastic

Dhigurah is one of few local islands who have signed up to an initiative with Parley who are a conservation group who are introducing projects deigned to protect our oceans. The island collects any plastic that may have landed on our beach every week and it is then safely sent away to be made into Adidas Ultraboost trainers.

Rubbish Recycling

Dhigurah is an island interested in protecting our environment! Each morning the Council collect waste food from all the houses and hotels and turn it into fantastic compost which can be used on our island and is also sold to other islands.
In the afternoon each day, all the other waste is collected and sorted into items which can be recycled and these are sent to Male each week. Only what’s left is burnt. All the villagers and guest houses pay for this service because they care about our environment and most importantly, our oceans.

Boutique Beach

We try to limit our plastic use in particular. We use glass straws only, we use ceramic pots in our bathrooms for toiletries, we have a water tank in our cafe for guests and staff to refill their own or provided reusable water bottles.
We regularly hold or take part in beach and island clean ups. We printed and distributed reusable cotton carrier bags to each family in our village to reduce carrier bag use and each of our rooms have beach bags for you use during your stay.
We support our Council, our schools, our medical centre and our Mosque as well as local events and local initiatives.

Our Commitment to a Greener Future

At Boutique Beach all-inclusive dive hotel, we believe in celebrating and safeguarding the natural beauty of our surroundings. We are dedicated to environmental awareness and active participation in sustainability initiatives that protect both our local ecosystem and the wider oceanic environment.

Island Initiatives on Dhigurah Plastic Reduction – Dhigurah stands out as a beacon of environmental responsibility. By partnering with Parley for the Oceans, our island plays a key role in transforming plastic waste into innovative products—like Adidas Ultra-boost trainers. Every week, any plastic waste found on our beach is collected and responsibly processed, showcasing our commitment to reducing plastic pollution.

Waste Recycling and Composting – Environmental care is woven into daily life on Dhigurah. Each morning, the local Council gathers excess food from residences and hotels to create nutrient-rich compost. This eco-friendly compost not only nourishes local gardens but is also shared with neighbouring islands. Later in the day, non-food waste is sorted for recycling and safely transported to Male, ensuring minimal waste is incinerated. This collective effort reflects the deep-rooted environmental awareness shared by the entire community.
