Beneath the turquoise waters of Alila Kothaifaru lies a story of renewal—one where every guest can play a part. Our Coral Planting Programme invites you to step into a living conservation journey, joining hands with our Marine Biologist to nurture the reef back to vibrant health.
Using specially designed reef stars and nursery structures, fragments from resilient species like Pocillopora, Acropora, and Montipora are carefully planted, creating safe havens for marine life to flourish. Each season shapes the work—guided by natural cycles, we plant, monitor, and tend, ensuring the corals have the best chance to thrive.
As you gently place a fragment onto its new home, you become part of a global effort to restore biodiversity, strengthen reef resilience, and protect the Maldives’ underwater wonder for generations to come. This is more than conservation—it’s a chance to leave a living legacy beneath the waves.
