Ocean Breeze
Perched on the edge of the tiffany blue waters, the Ocean Breeze restaurant paves way for refreshing gales and radiant sunny glows to escape into this elegant dining space.

Mizu
The chic Japanese-dining restaurant, Mizu includes an open-kitchen cooking station where sumptuous meals are cooked live in front of guests. In Japanese, “Teppanyaki’ can be separated into two words ‘Teppan’ meaning iron hot plate and ‘Yaki’ which translates to grill/fry.

The meals are complemented by a carefully chosen selection of sakes and wines, creating a dining ambience set against the Indian Ocean.
