From 8 to 18 April 2024, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands will host a renowned oceanographer Jean-Michel Cousteau. The hotel will offer activities for adults and children to learn more about one of the most amazing ecosystems on the planet.

“By saving the ocean, we save ourselves,” Jean-Michel likes to say. Resort guests will be able to interact with the great explorer, environmentalist, educator and film producer in person, and contribute to ocean conservation by exploring underwater caves, rescuing turtles, hunting for plastic, retrieving sunken ghost nets and more.

You can celebrate the joy of shared accomplishments in one of the resort’s seven luxurious restaurants and bars, and take care of yourself after taking care of the planet at The Ritz-Carlton Spa with signature treatments from the famous British organic cosmetics brand Bamford.

In addition to educational lectures and exciting shared dives, Jean-Michel Cousteau will invite guests to take part in planting corals near the picturesque beach of the Beach Shack restaurant. They will be able to evaluate the results of their efforts to restore the coral reef during their next visits to the hotel. There will also be a screening of the documentary film Wonders of the Sea, directed by Jean-Michel Cousteau and narrated by Arnold Schwarzenegger, followed by an interactive question-and-answer session in the makeshift open-air cinema in the Mystique Garden.

The culmination of the program will be the celebration of International Dolphin Day on April 14, in the format of an ocean cruise on a snow-white yacht with the participation of marine biologists who work at the hotel on a permanent basis. Guests will be able to experience the beauty and grace of the Maldivian dolphins in their natural habitat and learn more about these charming and friendly creatures.

This is a unique opportunity to engage in personal interaction with a renowned scientist and researcher. The meeting will be an unforgettable experience and a real gift for everyone who loves diving and the underwater world.
