The Maldives isn’t just a paradise for sun-seekers and snorkelers; it’s a haven for foodies seeking extraordinary culinary experiences. Of course, some private resorts take mealtimes to a whole new level. Here are a few unique dining experiences that will transform your holiday into an unforgettable adventure for your taste buds!

A Floating Breakfast

Ditch the breakfast buffet line and indulge in a luxurious floating breakfast in a villa at resorts like Heritance Aarah. As the day begins, step outside to find a delightful breakfast spread served on a tray in your villa’s plunge pool or infinity pool. Savour a classic American breakfast or a selection of healthy options with your loved one right in the pool, surrounded by breathtaking ocean views, the perfect way to start your day.

Private Beach Dinner

Apart from dining at some of the top restaurants in Maldives, private resorts also offer more intimate experiences including a bespoke five-course culinary masterpiece for two on a secluded stretch of beach. Imagine a coastal haven bathed in the soft glow of flickering candles, the cool ocean breeze whispering secrets, and the calming rhythm of waves setting the perfect mood as you dine under a star-filled sky.

Dinner on a Dhoni

Embark on a romantic culinary adventure by setting sail around the lagoon aboard a traditional Maldivian dhoni (boat). As you gently glide across the waters, enjoy pre-dinner drinks and a selection of cold canapes served on the rooftop deck. With a spellbinding sunset painting the sky in vibrant hues, your dhoni will transform into an intimate dining space for you to savour dishes from a tailor-made menu.

Movies Under the Stars

Some resorts in Maldives offer cinematic experiences under the stars complete with delectable delights. Imagine sinking into comfy seating on the beach, enveloped by the gentle caress of the ocean breeze. Indulge in a selection of delicious canapes, as well as popcorn or decadent white chocolate coconut truffles. Sip on a bottle of champagne as your favourite film unfolds, creating a truly magical evening.
