Monday 14th of October 2024
Dusit Thani Maldives is excited to enhance its culinary offerings with the introduction of SALA, a new vegan restaurant set to open on November 1, 2024. This innovative dining venue features plant-based, nutrient-rich dishes made from the finest locally sourced ingredients and produce from the resort's own organic gardens.
Created in collaboration with Chef Celia Lam, co-leader of the Slow Food Community Bangkok, the restaurant promises a delightful culinary journey. Guests can expect highlights such as Greek orzo salad, baked spiced pumpkin, and eggplant steak a la plancha, along with an array of salads, soups, and main dishes designed to excite the palate.
SALA's picturesque setting overlooks the turquoise waters of Baa Atoll and embodies Dusit's renowned Thai-inspired hospitality. This new restaurant aligns with Dusit International’s Tree of Life programme, which emphasizes sustainability and wellness. By incorporating organic, plant-based cuisine into its offerings, Dusit Thani Maldives is leading the way in promoting eco-conscious dining experiences in the luxury travel sector.
To celebrate SALA’s opening, Chef Celia Lam will host a series of exclusive masterclasses and interactive workshops from November 1 to 4, giving guests the chance to learn how to create extraordinary vegan dishes using fresh, wholesome ingredients.
"This new organic restaurant represents our commitment to promoting healthy, sustainable living while offering an exceptional dining experience," said Jean-Louis Ripoche, Area General Manager, Maldives. "We are thrilled to welcome Chef Celia Lam, whose dedication to sustainability aligns perfectly with our vision, and we are confident that SALA will attract health-conscious travelers seeking a transformative dining experience."
Nestled in the heart of the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Dusit Thani Maldives offers a serene escape that combines Thai-inspired luxury with Maldivian culture, providing guests with unique experiences, world-class wellness at Devarana Wellness, fine dining, and more amidst the stunning beauty of the Maldives.
