  • Well Done — Seafood and grilled meats · Beachfront, 70 seats

    Well Done consists of tables and chairs set up under the shade of the coconut palms, as well as inside the restaurant located right on the beach. The vibe is a relaxed, toes-in-the-sand kind of dining experience. Fresh-from-the-sea bounty, including Maldivian rock lobster, Sri Lankan mud crab, and whole fish, is grilled to perfection. For those who prefer the ‘Turf’ in Surf & Turf, the menu also features prime cuts of beef, lamb, and duck. The restaurant hosts a lobster feast and BBQ night every Saturday.

  • The Aqua — International · Overwater, 230 seats

    The Aqua, named after the infinite shades of blue of the surrounding lagoon, is our resort’s all-day-dining venue conveniently located at the beginning of the jetty leading to the overwater suites.

  • The Spice — Italian and Indian · Beachfront, 32 seats

    The peculiarity of this venue is that it serves homemade pizzas, pasta dishes and fresh insalata at lunchtime.

    The Nautilus is located between the sandy shore and the swimming pool-blue lagoon. The sandy floored bar is the perfect spot to kick back a refreshing drink between two dips in the sea.
