Did you know that the Maldives has an oral literary tradition that extends back almost 1,000 years? A rich history of sailors, pirates, seafaring princes, sultans and British colonial governors? A language unlike any on Earth?
A must on the itinerary of any guest to Naladhu is a storytelling evening in our island’s coconut grove with Ahmed Didi, the Island Chief. A native to our very island for – well, longer than anyone can attest! – Ahmed is a lively character with a richly detailed memory filled with island tales from his own lifetime and generations beyond. He shares his love of his island nation and its rich folkloric tradition in casual (yet dramatic!) stories. Visit him nightly if you wish – you’ll never hear the same story twice!
Naladhu is proud preserve Maldivian culture and share it with our guests during this unique evening back in time.
