The first Art and Glass Studio in the Maldives

Did you know that the Maldives, one of the world’s most sought after travel destinations, produces a large quantity of waste glass material? It is estimated that more than five tonnes of glass waste is produced by resorts in the Baa Atoll alone, every month. So one of the much lauded resorts in the atoll, Soneva Fushi, has come up with a unique concept – opening the Maldives’ first glass studio. The facility uses only waste glass materials used at Soneva resorts and other resorts in the Maldives. At the studio, guests can watch world-renowned glass artists create objects of art, and learn the art of glass blowing. The state-of-the-art facility also includes a retail boutique and art gallery, which are designed as platforms to exhibit the work of the Maldivian and international glass artists.
