Guests can take dolphin cruises and learn about the delicate ecosystems and even witness it themselves on dives and snorkel expeditions, seeing the restoration of coral and how it protects so much of the marine life that lays beneath the surface.

The Atoll is home to an array of rare marine life that thrive off of coral reefs that lay beneath the waters. These ecosystems are in need of constant protection and thanks to The Dive Centre there are two projects currently underway doing just that. A coral tree has been able to grow 37 fragments of coral and is being monitored, showing significantly positive results. Coral frames can also be found in the lagoon in many area and are being monitored to evaluate the effects of coral bleaching.

Seagrass is an important part of the ecosystem in the Atoll and is shelter for thousands of marine animals. It provides food and protection and is able to hold sediment together, preventing coastal erosion. It plays a vital role in the fight against climate change and Cheval Blanc recognises this and is keen on ensuring its protection.

A protected area of seagrass is located between The Dive Centre and The White Bar and is constantly growing in size. Due to the success of this project the island has been able to open a new snorkelling trail to discover more of the marine life beneath the surface.

Free roof-space at the back-of-the-house-buildings at the resort are covered with solar panels, allowing Cheval Blanc to generate about 20% of its total power demand with it during the day.
