A traditional craft undertaken by women of Maldives, Mat weaving involves the weaving of “Thundukunaa” the most beautiful red mats. Women of Gadhdhoo hand-weave these mats on a loom from dried reeds and then stain them using natural dyes which range from black to fawn. The inter-woven abstract designs and patterns vary depending on the skills and imagination of the weaver. All in all, traditional Maldivian handicraft includes embroidery, lacquer work and coir making as well. Certain islands or atolls usually specialize in each of these skills. Anantara Kihavah presents an ideal choice for those seeking to stay at a villa in Maldives. One of the finest Maldives resorts, it offers exemplary comforts and service.
