London, 13 March 2024: Kandima Maldives, the renowned active lifestyle resort, is gearing up to honour World Art Day 2024 with a renewed dedication to fostering artistic talent both locally and worldwide.
Celebrated for its playful, rooted, and responsible ethos, Kandima embraces a unique blend of genuine hospitality with unparalleled on-island amenities.

With an array of smart, spacious and oh-so-stylish overwater and beach villas, along with a diverse range of recreational facilities, every stay promises to be anything but ordinary.

The tranquil studio hosts regular exhibitions and art performances throughout the year, providing a serene space for guests and artists to create masterpieces. Kandima’s commitment to the arts is further embodied by the KULA Art Initiative, which allocates $1 from each room night to empower local community initiatives through funding for schools, artist supplies, scholarships, and educational programs.
The annual KULA Art Festival is a testament to Kandima’s dedication to the arts, putting a spotlight on the exceptional skills of local artists and innovators. The festival is filled with exciting activities, culminating in the much-anticipated KULA Colour Run. Haazima Husnee, the resident artist at Kandima, shares her enthusiasm about the KULA initiative, saying: “As a self-taught artist, I find the KULA initiative to be an incredible source of inspiration. The experience of teaching art has been wonderfully rewarding and an incredible journey, offering me a deeper understanding of art’s nuances alongside our guests. Collaborating with a diverse mix of local and international talents allows me to embrace and refine my creative skills. Moreover, the KULA Initiative plays a crucial role in uplifting Maldivian artists, granting them the opportunity to discover their potential and achieve continuous growth.”
In celebration of World Art Day, Kandima continues to champion the KULA Art Initiative on an international stage. Collaborating over the years with international artists including Angelo Milano and Momo, the island resort is set to showcase captivating murals throughout 2024 crafted by global talent.
