Culture

The Maldives boasts a rich cultural mix because of its position on the historical spice route. The food is heavily influenced by South India and Sri Lanka featuring a lot of chilli, lime and coconut. The traditional Maldivian drums known as ‘bodu beru’ and the accompanying dance comes from Africa and many of the country’s traditions come from the Middle East in line with Muslim customs.

Guests are free to wear whatever they like whilst on the resorts, however when visiting the local islands and the capital, we do advise guests to cover their shoulders.
