Sustainable Luxury Without Compromise
Born from ten years of on-the-ground research in the Maldives, the Gateway to a Piece of Paradise (G2PP) is the most ambitious sustainable luxury development in the Indo-Pacific region.
Developed by RES Trade GmbH and Avalon, and operated by the award-winning Cocoon Collection (Milan), G2PP is designed to prove that ultra-luxury hospitality and genuine environmental stewardship are inseparable.
The Maldives — recipient of the World's Leading Green Destination Award 2024 — aligns perfectly with the nation's net-zero 2030 commitment. G2PP aspires to candidacy for the Earthshot Prize.
"Luxury and sustainability can, and must, coexist — G2PP exists to prove it."
Olivia Boross EMBA · Project FounderEvery architectural choice, every technology deployed, every operational protocol at G2PP flows from one purpose: to deliver extraordinary experiences while protecting — not exploiting — the ocean ecosystem that makes them possible.
Solar arrays and wave energy utilization power the entire island, eliminating fossil fuel dependency and supporting the Maldives' national net-zero 2030 goal.
Dedicated coral nurseries, marine biology education, and personalised coral-planting experiences at the resort's diving centre. The ocean is a partner, not a backdrop.
On-site desalination, purification, greywater recycling, and locally bottled reusable drinking water — dramatically reducing plastic waste and freshwater impact.
Waste-to-energy technology, composting systems, and rigorous waste protocols ensure the island's fragile ecosystem is never compromised by operations.
BIM and IoT sensors monitor resource use in real time. The guest loyalty app tracks individual carbon and ocean footprints, connecting conservation to rewards.
G2PP is positioned as a candidate for the Earthshot Prize — founded by Prince William & Sir David Attenborough — for scalable environmental solutions.
Island remoteness, limited on-site storage (22% buildable area), and total reliance on sea/seaplane freight create significant supply chain complexity and cost exposure.
Strict Maldivian eco-regulations govern coral reef proximity, underwater construction, and marine habitat protection. Non-compliance risks project suspension.
Monsoons and ocean currents can disrupt all freight and construction. All island access is by sea or seaplane — zero land-based alternatives.
Simon Sinek's Golden Circle guides G2PP's brand identity — communicating purpose before product, connecting emotionally with sustainability-minded luxury travellers on a values level first.
We create a Gateway where the turquoise lagoon meets the Milky Way — inviting guests to fall in love with nature, above and below water.
By integrating eco-conscious architecture, green and digital innovation, and culturally rooted hospitality — developed in alignment with international sustainability certifications.
A boutique high-end one-island-one-resort offering sustainable luxury with premium accommodations, personalised experiences, and marine conservation partnerships.
Purpose-driven campaigns showcasing conservation milestones, real environmental impact, and authentic guest narratives — not just aesthetics.
Targeted PR in Condé Nast Traveller, Departures, and Robb Report. Curated press trips for high-profile travel journalists and luxury agency partners.
Partnerships with sustainability advocates and luxury lifestyle creators who genuinely share the project's environmental values.
G2PP creates a new category — eco-conscious ultra-luxury — with minimal direct competition in the Maldivian market.
