While the soft sandy beaches and crystal clear ocean waters of the Maldives might be the country’s main draw, it also has a rich cultural heritage worth experiencing. Those in search of Maldives resorts from which to begin their adventures can stay at Kurumba Maldives. Offering a secluded getaway in the North Male Atoll, it is one of the leading luxury hotels Maldives has to offer and provides a truly memorable holiday. A Muslim country, the Maldives and its culture is very much influenced by Islam. Not to be missed is a chance to visit the capital Male where you will find such religious sites as the Grand Friday Mosque. Folk music also plays a major part in local culture and such Maldivian instruments as the ‘bodu-beru’ drum are used during traditional dance performances. Local cuisine is distinctive as well. Influenced by such nearby countries as Sri Lanka and India, Maldivian dishes include spicy curries and tuna soup and offer a gastronomical adventure worth experiencing!
