For a true taste of the local cultural experience,
make it a point to visit the Maldives fish market,
which in addition to fish offers fresh vegetables,
fruits and other produce.
The market is an ideal location to observe the
fishing activities of the islands, one of its mainstays
before the development of tourism. IN LINE-12-MALDIVES-RESORT-TAJ-EXOTICA MALDIVES-ATTRACTIONS-RASFARI
Owing to great distance the island had to be totally
self sufficient in basic amenities such as water,
power, recreational and storage facilities.
The arrival pavilion placed on a reef enables the
guests to view the village from a distance.
A long boarded walkway leads to the reception
pavilion with the diving station and accommodation SITE PLAN
for diving staff on the immediate right in the sea,
that’s very nice.
The exterior of the public and residential buildings
are painted a special dark green color to visually
reduce the scale and blend it with the vegetation.
The village square serves as the forecourt for the
dining, kitchen and store complex, recreation,
Shopping and animation areas. A LONG BOARDED WALKWAY
