Orchids are a long-lasting and particularly elegant type of flower, making them the perfect gift for many occasions. Their graceful appearance draws immediate attention, and their reputation as an exotic and unusual flower evokes a sense of refinement and innocence.

Coconut Palm Tree : Cocos Nucifera

nobody@flickr.com (iam_nooree (Away)) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 11:30:21 -0800

The Coconut palm, also known as the Cocos Nucifera is one of the most fascinating and beautiful palms in the world.
It is a dream of tropical beaches. Imagine pristine powdery beaches surrounded by breathtaking coconut palms that sway gently in the warm tropical breeze. It is a symbol and pride of tropical paradise.
The Coconut palm has been the most worldly recognized and economically important tree for at least 4000 years. Its cultivation has survived from very ancient times. (http://coconutpalmtree.net/)

Himmafushi, Male' Atoll.

Himmafushi is one of the inhabited islands of Kaafu Atoll.

Himmafushi Island is a fishing village, as is the case of many of the Maldivian villages. Visitors would be able to gain insights into the simple life led by the villagers; they would be able to view the process of making Maldive fish and dry fish.

Moreover visitors will be able to interact with the island dwellers and find out more information about their value, beliefs and traditions. They may even be invited to sample home cooked local fare by the hospitable villagers. Visitors could make a stopover at the boutiques in the island and pick up local handicrafts and knick knacks that they could present as souvenirs.

Madhiriguraidhoo is the name of the wonderful island which lodges Palm Beach Resort, a structure designed with taste and realised with a full respect of the nature.

The island of Madhiriguraidhoo located in Lhaviyani Atoll is one of the biggest island in Maldives, long almost 2 km and wide 400 meters. The 4km of white sand beach which surround the island are really exceptional, accompanied by a luxuriant vegetation.
