5 Stunning Resorts that Proves Maldives is a Foodies’ Paradise
Maldives continues to amaze the world, even with its unique dining opportunities, from overwater dining to 5 feet below the water surface and a dining experience under the carpet of shining stars. Here are some of the best restaurants in the country:
Muraka, Mirihi Island Resort
Mirihi Island Resort promises to spoil guests at one of the eight exclusive tables at Muraka, with some of mouthwatering good seafood, lobster or Angus beef, all served with a fine wine from their wide range of International Wines. Located on the end of a jetty over the island’s lagoon, Muraka offers you the best views of the ocean while you enjoy delicious food. Whether it is a special occasion or you just want to treat your loved one, Muraka is the perfect choice.
Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, Conrad Maldives Rangali
Imagine dining five meters below the surface of the ocean, in the world’s first undersea restaurant, with panoramic coral garden views and fusion menus matched with fine wines. Ithaa’s set lunch and dinner menus, matched with a wine concept, showcase local flavors blended with Western influences. This underwater restaurant can be reserved for private dining, weddings and special occasions and it’s also open for mid-morning cocktails.
So Starstruck, Soneva Jani
The first overwater observatory in the Maldives, featuring a telescope that rises through the floor of the observatory deck and a resident Astronomer on-hand to help guests navigate the skies, offers four dining tables so that the guests can have an exclusive dinner with the company of twinkling stars. Dine on an expertly crafted menu while gazing towards the heavens at Soneva Jani.
Ba’theli, Milaidhoo Maldives
Milaidhoo took the prestigious title of opening the first modern Maldivian restaurant in the Maldives, one of the few fine-dining restaurants in the world that encourages its diners to come barefoot. The Ba’theli is built in the shape of three boats that stands on stilts over the lagoon. One ‘boat’ is the restaurant, a second ‘boat’ is the bar-lounge and a third ‘boat’ is the kitchen. Along with great local tastes, this restaurant also carries an interesting history that dates back to over 5000 years ago.
Feeling Koi, Amilla Maldives
World Luxury Restaurant Award winner in 2018, Feeling Koi is a Japanese restaurant offering stunning ocean views in Amilla Maldives. Izakaya-style dining in this Japanese restaurant in the Maldives comes to life with openhearted service and shared 'tapas' plates. Umami works of art in a spectacular setting. Upstairs, a lounge bar for post-dinner drinks awaits with smooth sounds from the DJ, moon reflecting off the seas.
