Oaga Art Resort, Maldives, has announced the upcoming Kula Kula Festival, taking place from April 10th to 15th, 2024.

“Kula” translates to “colour” in Dhivehi, the Maldivian language. Kula Kula, with its playful repetition, signifies an abundance of colours. This vibrant celebration promises an immersive experience into Maldivian culture, pulsating with music, dance, visual arts, and a taste of the archipelago’s unique traditions. Building on the foundation of last year’s success, the 2024 Kula Kula Festival promises an even richer experience.

Un voyage à travers les festivités

Le festival débute avec la joyeuse célébration de l'Aïd Al-Fitr le 10 avril. Savourez les saveurs grésillantes d'un dîner barbecue maldivien imprégné d'influences internationales, créant une délicieuse expérience culinaire en commun. Améliorez votre célébration de l'Aïd avec une visite à notre station Hedhikaa en direct, proposant de délicieux plats et spécialités maldiviennes pour enrichir votre palette.
