Whale shark conservation
Radisson Blu Resort, Maldives has partnered with the Maldives Whale Shark Research Program (MWSRP), marking a major milestone in sustainable tourism and marine conservation.
Through this long-term collaboration, the resort will serve as MWSRP’s South Ari Atoll research base, offering weekly whale shark expeditions that support real-time data collection, hosting a resident researcher, and providing engaging educational experiences through a new Whale Shark Research Centre.
The partnership also includes marine conservation training for staff, guest-supported fundraising for MWSRP’s work, and global awareness efforts amplified through the Radisson Hotel Group network, uniting hospitality with impactful marine science to protect whale sharks and inspire meaningful guest participation.
Coral restoration
At Radisson Blu Resort, Maldives, we are committed to protecting our surrounding marine environment through a coral restoration project led by our in-house marine biologist.
Using the floating line nursery method, small coral fragments are attached to suspended horizontal lines that reduce sedimentation and predation, allowing young corals to grow in a stable environment. Once mature, these corals are transplanted back onto the natural reef, helping rehabilitate damaged areas and support a healthier, more resilient ecosystem.
The Marine Centre is open daily from 8 am to 5:30 pm.
Diving in the South Ari Atoll
Plunge into the depths of the South Ari Atoll for some of the best diving in the Maldives. The warm, clear waters and shallow reefs with an abundance of overhangs and canyons feature soft vibrant corals and a wide spectrum of marine life such as whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, and nurse sharks.
Our on-site PADI 5 Star Dive and Water Sports Center welcomes you to embark upon or renew your certifications or simply explore the atoll on our expeditions.
Available daily from 8 am-6 pm. Activities are subject to weather conditions.
On-island water sports
Our private island home with its pristine lagoon offers the ideal spot for water activities.

Plunge beneath the waves with our sea bobs for an exhilarating experience.
