PSA for the Conscious Traveller: Ecoboo is set on a local Maldivian island, where culture is sacred and tradition flows deeper than the tide. As part of a Muslim community, alcohol is respectfully off the menu on land - but not to worry, the resort offers access to its yacht, where sunset drinks can still be part of your ritual. Around the island, modest attire is encouraged - think loose linens, covered shoulders, and an elegant nod to local customs. Swap your spritz for a hibiscus cooler and let the island’s rhythm do the rest. Trust us, the sunsets still hit different.

Ecoboo is not your typical resort - it’s a barefoot manifesto for the new minimalism. Tucked away on Thinadhoo Island, this slow-designed sanctuary isn’t trying to impress, it’s here to reconnect. The vibe? This is where you go to get sun-kissed, sea-soaked, and subtly transformed.

Everything here is intentional. There’s no flashy fittings & no room service tray cloches. What you do get? Bamboo walls that breathe. Salt-kissed breezes. Open-air showers with views of banana palms. Hammocks and silence instead of playlists and push notifications.

It’s coastal, conscious, and quietly iconic - the kind of place a SIR-clad It Girl would retreat to after fashion week, wearing no makeup, just reef-safe SPF and an oversized straw hat. There are no glossy welcome kits. But there are refillable sunscreen jars, banana pancakes made with love, and ocean swims that rearrange your nervous system.

The days move gently. Morning yoga or reef dips. Maybe you’ll help out with the coral nursery or journal in a hammock before dinner. Evenings are for candlelit feasts and stargazing that reminds you just how big the universe really is.

There’s a clarity that sets in here. A softness. Without screens or structure, you meet yourself again. Ecoboo isn’t luxury for show - it’s luxury for the soul. For those who crave substance over spectacle, this place doesn’t need to shout. It hums.

Ecoboo is proudly powered by solar, shaped by local hands, and anchored in a mission to uplift community. It hires and trains Thinadhoo residents, supports local schools and coral restoration projects, and actively works to eliminate plastic waste across the island.

Come here if you want your stay to have meaning. Come here if you like your salt with story, your stay with soul, and your sunsets with purpose.

ECOBOO’S BEATING HEART

This isn’t just a resort - it’s a living classroom. Where every detail is a love letter to the Earth, and every guest becomes part of the island’s regenerative rhythm. The beating heart is shared meals, barefoot chats with the locals, coral planting with your dive guide, and waking up feeling light - physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The SLOJOURN spark

FIRST. Architecture with integrity (and max cuteness) - every bungalow is crafted from bamboo, zero concrete, and full intention.

SECOND. The island table - daily communal meals made from what the ocean and island provide - with vegan and vegetarian options that celebrate simplicity.

THIRD. Plastic-free promise - from bamboo toothbrushes to refillable toiletries and coral-safe sunscreen, nothing comes wrapped or wasted.

At Ecoboo, your room is an island cocoon. Think: gauzy linen curtains, bamboo bedframes, palm-thatch roofing, and ceiling fans that move like slow poetry. It’s everything you need - and nothing you don’t.

Each bungalow is solar-powered, water-efficient, and designed for airflow. The design invites you to live slower, lighter, and closer to the elements. Wake with natural light, shower in open-air bathrooms, sleep to the lull of sea wind.

The art of living

Days at Ecoboo begin barefoot. Swim before breakfast, sip local tea on a shaded deck, then cycle through the village or snorkel off the beach. Afternoon hammocks. Evenings under a million stars. The spa is minimalist - think coconut oil massages and reef clay wraps. The luxury isn’t in gold taps - it’s in the gentle rhythm you return to.

The forever lens

WATER: Desalinated and purified onsite. Refill stations instead of bottles. Even the greywater gets reused in the gardens.
WASTE: Zero plastic, full compost, upcycled decor, and an on-island recycling program led by locals.
ARCHITECTURE: Zero concrete, all bamboo and natural render. Locally built and climate-adaptive.
ENERGY: 100% solar. Grid-free. Light-footprint luxury.

The together lens

Ecoboo trains and employs from Dhiffushi itself. 90% of the staff live on the island. Local artists are commissioned. Coral regrowth and reef education projects are co-run with the school. This is a place where every stay contributes to the island’s resilience.

The take it with you

• A refillable reef-safe sunscreen jar
• Your own bamboo toothbrush (or two)
• A recipe card from the vegan chef’s kitchen
• A slow living zine designed by the Ecoboo team
• Memories that whisper: simple is sacred.

WE SLOJOURNED HERE

“Ecoboo embodied everything I wanted my care-free island getaway to be. Slow, without hurry or pretense, and a castaway chic vibe that cares about the planet.”
