‘THE FRESH LABS’ – KANDIMA’S LOCAL FARM TO TABLE INITIATIVE

At Kandima, we believe in being environmentally responsible and take sustainability very seriously. Why import something from thousands of kilometers away when with a little extra effort it could be produced locally at almost the same cost and by doing so bring numerous benefits to local communities and the environment?

We proudly present to you ‘THE FRESH LABS’, a Kandima farm to table initiative to get the freshest local Maldivian produce sourced from the green island farms located at Kandima & our surrounding islands. Our aim is to reduce our dependence on imported produce and instead support local producers to ensure we always have the greenest and freshest salads on our table.

Our local green initiative makes us one of only a few island resorts in Maldives to take a serious yet critical step towards local sustainability and all-round wellness of our guests.

Tune in for more news on #TheFreshLabs soon!

Nylangan Hindustan

“A piece of art. A wisp of cloud, The charm of a woman..”

The Story

‘Nyl’ derived from ‘Neel’ and ‘Angan’ which stands for a courtyard, combine to form Nylangan; for the love of indigo. Nylangan is the place where the calm comfort of fine-spun fabrics and the aesthetics of contemporary art come together. Founded on the belief that fashion needs to be personal, Nylangan offers artisanal clothing that is timeless, effortless and beyond seasons.

Pragmatic, Uncluttered, Minimalistic: The designs embody all this and much more. With intricate detailing, understated patterns and cuts, each piece is effortless to wear. Garment silhouettes are put together by highly-skilled seamsters and pattern masters, to lend a flawless contour to each garment. Soft fluid fabrics that have incredible drapes to complement different body types and crisp cottons are used to craft elegant and structured looks. A lot of effort is put into garment construction and developing the fabric through different wash techniques to ensure stunning quality.

THE NYLANGAN WOMAN

Nylangan, for women, transcending all age and generational boundaries, ‘The Nylangan Woman” is well-read, intelligent and independent. Her sense of individuality and an unwavering self-assurance in her abilities, make her stand apart. An avid believer in honesty and authenticity, she seeks fashion that can be truly hers. She stays away from impulsive buying and sets her own trends. Her wardrobe is carefully curated to fit pieces she loves and cares for. Comfort in whatever she wears is of utmost importance, but she never compromises on style.
