If you want a holiday in the Maldives that is more than just spending lazy days by the beach then definitely look to visit sites of historical and cultural importance such as Utheemu Ganduvaru. While this site can be found on Utheemu Island, those in search of luxurious accommodation in Maldives which to base themselves at can consider Anantara Dhigu Maldives. This Maldives resort offers a range of leisure pursuits include island hopping which lets you explore some of the country’s other sites of interest.
Plan a trip to the Haa Alif Atoll where one will find Utheemu Ganduvaru on Utheemu Island. The importance of this site is due to the fact that it was used as a residence in the 16th century by Mohamed Thakurufaanu. This name is forever etched in the minds of the people since he played an instrumental role in helping to liberate the country from the Portuguese. Utheemu Ganduvaru was this national hero’s family palace and was where he grew up. This wooden palace can be seen today and makes for an ideal photo opportunity.
