Come to Paradise, And When You Leave, Take A Piece of Maldives with You

Monday 30th of November 2020

The tropical vibes, the magical experiences, amazing food and great hospitality is hard to forget and chances are that a vacay here is unforgettable. But when it’s time to go back, that’s the only part you’ll dislike. That’s why it helps to take with you something to remind you of your beautiful vacation and the experiences, a souvenir.

Here are some of the most unique souvenirs that you can take with you.

For the Culture-lovers

Apart from stunning views, tropical reefs and white beaches, Maldives has another feature to amaze you: rich culture and history. The island nation is home to some great craftsman, capable of doing magic with their hands. Here we talk about crafts like huge boat building to small lacquer products. Speaking of lacquer, it is one of the most significant cultural crafts of Maldives. You can find Liyelaa in pens, vases and even mini marvels. Mvlacquer is one of the top suppliers of lacquer products in the country.  If you’re looking for something more, Thundu Kunaa (mats) are also a popular cultural piece.

For the Art & Booklovers

Do you love paintings and hand-made stuff? Maldivians are extremely creative people and you’ll find both small businesses and art and craft stores throughout the Capital City. But to take along with you after a trip, the perfect ones would be something that represents the beauty of Maldives. One of our favorites is Ocean themed Bookmark by Fenkula, the ideal gift for a book lover. Now, you have a stunning bookmark and you also helped to support a small business. But if you’re looking for more luxury art, Oevaali is definitely the place.

For the Fashionistas!

Ever seen the traditional Maldives dress? The cultural dress represents the locals’ talent in embroidery. While men wear a simple shirt and a sarong, the females wear Dhivehi Libaas, a full-length gown worn with a wrap-around skirt called Feyli. You’ll find many people in the City who’d be delighted to sew you one. These would also look great in your photoshoots here in Maldives.
