Reethi Beach Resort recently celebrated the successful release of 80 baby turtles into the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean. The healthy and energetic young turtles eagerly swam to their new ocean home, marking a significant milestone in the resort’s ongoing efforts toward turtle conservation and marine protection.
The event, organised to raise awareness about turtle conservation, garnered enthusiastic participation from both resort staff and guests. Many guests were deeply moved, with some shedding tears as they gently carried the baby turtles to the shoreline to set them free. For many, it was an emotional, once-in-a-lifetime experience that deepened their connection to nature.
In alignment with nature’s remarkable cycle, these turtles are expected to return to their birthplace in the future to lay eggs and continue the cycle of life. Their return will be a testament to the success of the resort’s conservation efforts and the ongoing preservation of the Maldivian ecosystem.
Valentin Osolos, General Manager of Reethi Beach Resort, stated, “Our pledge to ocean conservation is one of the core principles at Reethi Beach Resort, and events like these exemplify our commitment to protecting marine life. Through our efforts, we not only contribute to safeguarding the environment but also offer our guests the opportunity to actively engage in meaningful conservation initiatives that support the longevity of these beautiful species.”
One guest shared their experience, saying, “It was an unforgettable moment for me. Holding the baby turtle in my hands and watching it swim into the ocean was truly life-changing. I feel incredibly grateful to have been part of this beautiful initiative, and it has deepened my understanding of how important conservation efforts like this are.”
This event is part of Reethi Beach Resort’s broader conservation efforts in collaboration with Ocean Fanatics Maldives. The resort regularly engages in sustainable practices and activities, offering guests opportunities to contribute to initiatives that protect the planet and its fragile ecosystems.
