A Perfect Combination of Indulgence and Adventure Awaits at Alila Kothaifaru Maldives

Saturday 16th of July 2022

There is much to savor during your island getaway at the blissful Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, whether you choose to eat a meal while taking in the ocean views or partake in crafted culinary experiences infused with Maldivian culture. This is the place to begin for spending quality time with your loved ones and making unique memories in the Maldives, and this is just a sampling of the culinary experiences that are in store for you there.

Seasalt, the resort's all-day dining beachfront main restaurant, serves Middle Eastern-influenced coastal Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant's famous salt-baked fish dishes, made with homemade sea salt made by the culinary staff, are not to be missed. The sea water that surrounds the island of Kothaifaru is collected, filtered, and reduced to a brine, which is then dried in the air to form crystallized flakes of sea salt.

The culinary team creates two handcrafted salts using salt and spice, two essential ingredients in Maldivian cooking: original sea salt, a key component at Seasalt Restaurant, and Mirus sea salt, the base of cuisine and cocktails at Mirus Bar. Mirus sea salt can be sipped in eight island-inspired signature cocktails, including the must-try Chili Margarita.

Want to try some Japanese cuisine? At the Umami restaurant, savor a delectable menu with Japanese influences that is prepared in a teppanyaki theatre using a premium selection of organic vegetables, Wagyu beef, and sustainably sourced fish and seafood. The Yakitori Bar, which is adjacent, is the best place to enjoy sundowners while surrounded by the enticing aromas of a robata grill. Here, you can sip on fine Japanese sakes and spirits as well as craft cocktails and mocktails with Asian influences.

Along with eating and drinking, the resort's chefs and mixologists offer two interactive Alila Experiences where visitors can learn about different cuisines and cultures. You can learn how to prepare traditional Maldivian dishes like fish curry and Kopee Fai Mashuni while participating in the Secrets of Maldivian Cuisine cooking class. Once finished, your delectable meal is ready to be enjoyed while gazing at the calm waves. In the Mix It at Mirus mixology class offered at Mirus Bar, you can try your hand at creating premium cocktails the Maldivian way while learning a few straightforward tricks to improve your cocktail-making abilities.
