Gourmandize With These Dining Destinations At Gili Lankanfushi Maldives

Saturday 10th of December 2022

With scenic views of nature enclosing us on all sides, dining in the Maldives can be a surreal experience. In resorts, guests will often find a myriad of dining destinations, each existing in its own element and offering a range of delicacies in its confines. Therefore, Maldives can be considered a globetrotter’s ultimate haven with dining arranged to cater for celebrated cuisines from around the world. One such resort providing such fine gastronomy is Gili Lankanfushi Maldives, home to numerous restaurants.

Kashiveli

Named after the coarse ‘coral sand’ scattered across the restaurant floor, Kashiveli brings a vibrancy to dining by providing fresh, nutritious ingredients sourced directly from the organic garden or local waters of the restaurant. Exuding the beach vibes, this outdoor restaurant showcases colourful displays of tropical fruits, juices and smoothies along with well-loved international favourites. Guests can also tease their palates with traditional Maldivian dishes, unlocking the spices and flavours of the destination. During the night, Kashiveli transforms into a bustling outdoor market where intercontinental delicacies are reimagined through locally grown produce.

By The Sea

Encircled by the lush green foliage of the jungle and boasting picturesque vistas of the ocean, this Japanese fine-dining restaurant will be a treat for all senses. Here guests can first-hand catch their dishes being prepared by talented teppanyaki chefs! Watch as they execute the art and precision of making hand rolls, or the careful crafting of a sashimi before placing the sumptuous meals on the table. Seasonal specialties are a highlight of this dining space and with the perfect pair of sake, it will truly infuse the Japanese cuisine on the tastebuds.

Overwater Bar

Ever thought of how it would be to enjoy a meal with the ocean by your side? At Overwater Bar guests can live this reality by dining above the lagoon amidst spectacular views of the waters. This is the ultimate place to enjoy sunset cocktails, with the hues of the dust sky perfectly reflected on the waters in dramatic colours of red, orange and pink. For seafood lovers, the overwater bar offers a seafood dinner with fresh catch sourced every morning.

Fini Foni

In the local tongue, Fini Foni translates to ‘cold sweet’ and flawlessly captures the essence of the dining destination. The tropical heat of the Maldives can sometimes become overwhelming and what better way to cool down that with a cold sweet? Fini Foni offers a myriad of chilling desserts including the famed popsicle and ice-cream, all handmade at the resort using natural ingredients. Its strategic location to the pool and tennis court also means that guests can unwind and chill here after a sweaty game or soaking their muscles in the pool.
