Back After a Break (Kandooma Resort)



Hi!!!,  I know I have ignored my blog a for week,  decided to take a break and enjoy the school holidays. It also fell into the same week as my birthday and my wedding anniversary so to celebrate we headed off for a two-night stay at Kandooma  Resort.
 My hubby got a complimentary stay as a thank-you from the manager for going to one of their health camps.

Compared to the places we have visited the beach was pretty small but had lots of little fish swimming very close to the shore so my hubby and the little guy had fun snorkelling around and checking out the fish. For those who are adventurous, there is a nice surfing area.  It is said the resort was recently rebuilt and reopened after being destroyed by the 2004 Tsunami ( Yes, Maldives suffered pretty badly during the 2004  Tsunami).


We were given a Beach Villa, rather small but cosy, although I did wish there was natural lighting.  The beach is a 5-minute walk from the villa kids enjoyed walking about the garden with tall coconut palms and huge tropical trees with good branches for climbing.


We had our breakfast, lunch and dinner at Kandooma Cafe'  which served delicious food and it was nice sitting near the pool overlooking the beach.

On our final night we had dinner at Bokkura Cafe' . It was Tuesday night so the Kandooma Cafe' was having a Maldivian night with the waiters dressed in white shirts( or was it white T-shirts) and Feyli, a black sarong with a white border.

There was a boduberu group, so after dinner, we went to watch for while.



Bodu beru is a traditional dance, usually done by men. Quite catchy and fun, slightly weird as they tend to go over the top when dancing. Supposedly the dances are hypnotised or are shown as hypnotised by the drums. Although I did wish they had dressed more traditionally rather than turning their feyli to a strange-looking pair of pants. You can check a here to view  a more modern version of boduberu or slightly more traditional one where they beat the drums by sitting down click  here .
