Dhivehi Raaje - the authentic local word for Maldives, has always
been a fascinating place for visitors who love the sunny, white
sandy beaches, underwater beauty and the hospitality they get from
islanders while they are on a resort. What they don't often see is
the life outside of the resort. As the concept of tourism in the
Maldives is a one-hotel-one-island concept, all that is worth
seeing about Maldives and its people is just a step away from the
resort life. The conception of Dhivehin (local terms for Maldivian)
and how they thrive in the midst of tourism's income can only be
seen by a visit to the capital city. Male the capital city of the
Maldives is the living construction site of the country. The
construction and design industry in the Maldives has largely been
an automatic offshoot from the tourism industry and we are still
building every single day. Buildings play a huge role in the
diversification of the dreams, shaping ideals, and ideas of the
private and public lives of the Dhivehin.
