Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection, invites guests to embrace the magic of Earth Hour 2025 at the heart of the secluded Noonu Atoll—a place where luxury meets untouched natural beauty. A bespoke evening of art, music, and mindful dining awaits, reflecting the resort’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and meaningful guest experiences.

The festivities begin as the golden afternoon sun casts a warm glow over the island, marking the start of a sand art competition. Guests will be invited to judge this display of artistic expression and collaboration while savouring exquisitely crafted cocktails and delectable canapés. The experience is further elevated by the soothing melodies of live music, drifting through the island breeze.

As twilight deepens, the evening transitions into a special Earth Hour dinner, expertly curated by the resort’s culinary team. Guests will indulge in a menu that celebrates fresh, locally sourced ingredients, capturing the essence of Maldivian flavours while embracing the principles of sustainability. Whether dining beneath the swaying palms or within the serene privacy of an ocean-facing villa, the experience promises to be as enchanting as it is memorable.

The highlight of the Earth Hour initiative takes place at 8:30 PM, when the resort dims its lights in key guest areas. Tea light candles will illuminate the walkways, casting a soft, ethereal glow that mirrors the stars above. As guests revel in this moment of tranquillity, they are invited to reflect on the beauty of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for generations to come.

“At Noku Maldives, we celebrate Earth Hour as more than just a symbolic gesture—it is an opportunity to spark awareness and inspire action,” said Hussain Shahid, General Manager of Noku Maldives. “This event is a testament to our unwavering dedication to sustainable hospitality while delivering experiences in the most meaningful way.”
