More Than The Menu: Seven Unmissable Dining Experiences

Where every bite is an unforgettable adventure...

Fine dining is an art form, but for the truly adventurous traveller, the most exquisite meals transcend the plate. Explore the destinations that make each meal more than what is on the menu, where every bite is paired with an unforgettable experience.

Dining Under the Maldivian Stars

Serene, secluded and seriously stunning, laid-back Milaidhoo Maldives lets you dive into the heart of the Maldives with a taste of its cuisine at the only restaurant in the world set on a boat in a lagoon. Discover authentic island cuisine at Ba'theli as you dine on the deck of a dhoni under the stars, and a team of chefs deliver a dining experience where tradition meets innovation in the most breathtaking setting imaginable.
