Framed by the turquoise waters and gentle sands of the North Malé Atoll, the resort hosted a curated cultural experience that gently unfolds throughout the day. Guests were invited to participate in a Boduberu workshop, where the resonant beat of the traditional Maldivian drum offers a rhythmic introduction to the pulse of island life. They also explored the refined art of traditional jewelry making, guided by local artisans who share the stories and techniques passed down through generations. 

The palm weaving experience allows for hands-on engagement with one of the Maldives’ oldest crafts  an essential skill once central to daily island living while the opportunity to dress in traditional Maldivian attire offers a graceful moment of connection with local customs and visual heritage. The culinary journey continues with a tasting of traditional Maldivian dishes, thoughtfully prepared by the resort’s chefs, highlighting the delicate balance of local flavours and time-honoured recipes.

Throughout the day, guests also wandered through a curated display of Maldivian arts and crafts, featuring works by local artisans that reflect the country’s vibrant creative spirit and artisanal legacy.
