Wednesday, March 13, 2024

Kandima Maldives, the renowned active lifestyle resort, is preparing to celebrate World Art Day 2024 with a renewed focus on nurturing artistic talent locally and globally.

Known for its vibrant, grounded, and socially responsible approach, Kandima offers a distinct blend of authentic hospitality and unmatched on-island amenities. Situated on a 3-kilometre island, Kandima provides an ideal retreat for families, couples, friends, solo travelers, and honeymooners. Featuring a variety of modern, spacious, and stylish overwater and beach villas, as well as a diverse range of recreational facilities, every visit ensures an extraordinary experience.

At the heart of Kandima’s cultural offerings lies the KULA Art Studio, set beside a natural lake to encourage artistic exchange and innovation. This tranquil studio hosts regular exhibitions and art performances, creating a peaceful environment for guests and artists to unleash their creativity. Kandima’s dedication to the arts is exemplified through the KULA Art Initiative, which contributes $1 from each room night to support local community projects, including funding for schools, art supplies, scholarships, and educational programs.

The annual KULA Art Festival is a testament to Kandima’s dedication to the arts, putting a spotlight on the exceptional skills of local artists and innovators. The festival is filled with exciting activities, culminating in the much-anticipated KULA Colour Run. Haazima Husnee, the resident artist at Kandima, shares her enthusiasm about the KULA initiative, saying: “As a self-taught artist, I find the KULA initiative to be an incredible source of inspiration. The experience of teaching art has been wonderfully rewarding and an incredible journey, offering me a deeper understanding of art’s nuances alongside our guests. Collaborating with a diverse mix of local and international talents allows me to embrace and refine my creative skills. Moreover, the KULA Initiative plays a crucial role in uplifting Maldivian artists, granting them the opportunity to discover their potential and achieve continuous growth.”

To mark World Art Day, Kandima is proudly amplifying its KULA Art Initiative on the global platform. Building upon collaborations with acclaimed artists such as Angelo Milano and Momo, the resort will unveil mesmerizing murals throughout 2024, crafted by talented artists from around the world. This initiative not only highlights the resort’s dedication to promoting art internationally but also cultivates a sense of global community through its KULA goes Global movement.
