Happy Hues of the Maldives!

 

Sometimes travel inspiration comes from unexpected places. One particularly dreary afternoon, while shopping a gorgeous resort wear collection, it came in the form of a pattern. The print – softly geometric, in turquoise wash and luminous white – was a visual representation of an escape to a tropical paradise. Imagine floating in lagoon shallows, eyes blissfully shut, brilliant sunlight projecting a web of shifting shapes onto your eyelids. 

The pattern had a name - the Anantara Dhigu print, christened after a resort in the Maldives. Distilling exotic land- and sea-scapes into patterns has been attempted before - just think of the iconic Martinique Banana Leaf wallpaper from the ‘40s which, impressively, is showing no signs of wilting. But for a pattern to be inspired by a resort – well, that’s a first, we thought.

Back in 2016, when sisters Hattie Clark and Victoria Thompson holidayed on Dhigu, the island’s powdery white beaches, shimmering waters and kaleidoscopic reefs inspired them to create their own resort wear . 

The ethos of the brand is to design versatile key pieces across exclusive prints, each in the spirit of the location that had inspired it. Which explains our emotional response to Anantara Dhigu pattern. 

With Anantara Dhigu collection, which was launched in March this year, the sisters place us among bold tropical hues and breathtaking Maldivian backdrops. Think an array of fresh, contemporary prints that reflect the vibrant colours of resort’s spectacular natural settings and designs that capture the playful essence of a holiday at the resort. 

 

That Anantara Dhigu could be such a powerful source of creative inspiration is hardly surprising. And it’s not just the preternaturally beautiful Maldivian environment that gets the creative juices flowing. The marine-themed resort was designed to create breathing space in a stimulating setting. Here the weary-eyed seek and find solace, the mind is encouraged to wander, imagination is ignited and the next big business idea is hatched.

Suspended above crystal clear waters, find the perfect spot to watch the glowing Maldivian sunrise, taking a moment to appreciate the rich and tonal colours, the absolute harmony. Gaze through floor-to-ceiling glass windows whilst lazing in your king-size bed or float suspended between the sky and the ocean in your oversized outdoor terrazzo bathtub.

Look for butterflyfish nibbling on coral. Follow a school of damselfish across the reef.

These are highly protected by law as they are critically endangered creatures in the world. Hawksbill turtle is surely a creature that you dream of coming across while you snorkel in Maldives. You can easily spot of them in our house reef. 

Moray Eel

Moray eel is the largest type of eel that sums up to 1 to 2 meter size. There are 200 different fishes of its kind found in fresh, marine and brackish waters. And you can also see them majority in all the reefs in the Maldives. They prefer warmer water and can be often found in the shallow close the the coral reeds.

Despite large teeth, the moray eel is a very calm fish, whose negative reputation is probably earned from its appearance.

Eagle Ray

Eagle ray is usually around one or two meters in wing span with a diamond body shape as their pectoral fins are pointed at the ends, their tails are quite long and they are a well-defined rhomboidal shape featuring distinct wings. The spotted eagle ray is one of the most beautiful rays and is also known as the bonnet ray.

Compared to other ray family, Eagle rays tend to live in the open ocean rather than on the bottom of the sea, But they are also often found gliding through the water column when they are not busy foraging on the ocean floor.

Its name refers to its unusual tail. The Cowtail Stingray has a disc that is slightly wider than long. They have small eyes and a very wide inter orbital space. The tail is about twice the length of the disc. The upper surface of the disc is a uniform grey, brown or black. The lower surface is white. The tail is depressed basally becoming more cylindrical distally. The broad skin flap and tip of the tail are black.

The species is common in inshore tropical waters, venturing into estuaries and sometimes freshwater. They tend to be inquisitive and approach closely if fish have been speared.

Guitarfish

The guitarfish is a family of rays. They have a body form intermediate between those of sharks and rays, other often confused with sharks, especially when seen underwater for the first time. The tail has a typical shark-like form, but in many species the head has a triangular, or shovel-like shape, rather than the disc-shape formed by fusion with the pectoral fin found in other ray. Maldivian fisherman for example simply refer to them as sharks. The largest of their kind possible reach to 3 meters.

They are or most often seen while resting on the sandy bottoms in the vicinity of coral reefs. They swim in a shark like manner with lateral strokes of the tail and caudal fin not by undulating their pectoral fins like most rays do.
