We had the pleasure of meeting Sous Executive Chef Mo Rahim, who introduced us to the array of experiences the team carefully curates for its guests so they are never bored or out of options. 

Grouper Grill, the hotel’s Seafood restaurant, hosts a weekly Beach Barbecue night which we were fortunate enough to experience on our first evening. Chef Mo and his team lay out a banquet of freshly caught and grilled Lobsters, Prawns, Mussels, as well grilled meats for those who don’t eat seafood. Accompaniments come in the form of salads, and fresh sashimi, with over flowing dessert selections to finish. The best of a Mediterranean diet is presented here with Maldivian influences and the candle lit setting  to the sound of the crashing waves completes the ambience beautifully. 

Aqua Orange is the main restaurant, and presents a different menu each night with several “staples” which are repeated, much to guests pleasure. One such staple is the daily grill station where calamari, prawns, lamb and beef are prepared with a beautiful BBQ char – healthy, hearty and high quality protein options are always available. Another favorite dish I indulged in nearly every night was from their sushi station, at which you will find a huge freshly caught tuna fish on display, with some of the softer thinly  tuna sashimi I have had! Another set of counters will be dedicated to the “theme” of the night, such as Maldivian, Italian or Chinese inspired dishes. This gourmet buffet style restaurant was never disappointing and serves A La Carte quality dishes, with the benefit of tonnes of variety.
