Dining

  • Allegria — Italian · beachfront

    Gnocchi, homemade pasta, fresh-from-the-ocean seafood and wood-fired pizzas. Italian cuisine truly is the ultimate comfort food, and here dinner is served on a gorgeous deck right on the beach. An intimate private dinner table can be arranged. Maybe it is the ingredients or the skill of the chefs, but Allegria hits a sweet spot.

  • Lagoon Bar — Bar · beachfront

    Unwind to an island soundtrack and reggae vibes while sharing stories from the last dive or an exciting water sports session. No wonder guests tell us this is one of their favourite laid-back watering holes anywhere in the world.

  • GLOW Bar — Cocktails

    GLOW Bar is a creative cocktail bar with breathtaking lagoon views, a firm sunset favourite where mixologists craft signature drinks. The perfect spot to watch the sky change colour with a cocktail in hand.

  • Veli Pool Bar — Pool bar · poolside

    Near the crystal-clear swimming pool that extends out to sea, with shimmering views of the lagoon on three sides, pause at the Veli Pool Bar right next to the water for a chilled drink and a light bite between dips.

  • East Market — South-East Asian · indoor

    South-east Asia's night markets are bustling, their scents, sounds and sights overwhelming the senses in the best possible way.

  • MIXE — International buffet · beachfront

    MIXE is set on a sandy beach under thatched roofs with slow-spinning fans for that salty, breezy effect.

Tuck your toes into the cool sand for breakfast and dinner, with local performers by night.

  • East Bar — Bar · overwater

    The overwater EAST Bar sits beside the market-style EAST Market restaurant and is exactly how a bar in the Maldives should be, set out over the water for sundowners.

  • Senses Restaurant — Grill & Seafood · poolside

    Fresh-from-the-sea fish and grilled seafood, Moroccan-inspired tagines, curries inspired by the Indian Ocean and tropical, fruit-coloured cocktails. Take a seat poolside for lunch or under a starry sky at dinner, with the bar on hand to keep you hydrated throughout the day.

  • Umami — Japanese · indoor

    UMAMI is as chic as it is contemporary, the perfect setting for gastronomic Japanese cuisine. Take a seat at the cobalt blue bar to watch the chef cut the freshest fish and seafood into sashimi, nigiri and maki. Kobe beef and Australian lamb are cooked at the robata grill while another chef fires up the teppanyaki.

  • Café LUX* — Café & coffee · indoor

    Cafe LUX* has revolutionised the world of hotel coffee with a clear commitment to the finest barista-made coffee, day and night.

  • Beach Rouge — Mediterranean beach club · beachfront

    Pick at fresh pizzas straight from the wood-fired oven in the most relaxed setting, right on the soft-sand beach, with crisp, thin crusts topped with the freshest ingredients. But there is more, from salads to grilled seafood. We bring the Mediterranean to you, feet in the sand, eyes on the lagoon and breeze in your hair.
