Guests at this chic retreat can meet MUI team members and participate in sustainability and marine conservation initiatives, in addition to enjoying nightly complimentary presentations on subjects related to the efforts. Additionally, the #protectmaldivesseagrass campaign combats the removal of seagrass for tourism, as the natural seagrass habitat is critical to ocean health.
