Dine under the star-filled Maldivian sky at IWAU, translated as ‘to celebrate’ in Japanese. This restaurant presents Japanese Chef’s Table with teppanyaki, sushi and a curated selection of Japanese sakes, whiskies and teas. Entrust your dinner experience to the Chef in an artistic Omakase experience or savour freshly prepared sushi and sashimi at romantic tables set within the iconic round-shaped pool.

Afternoon tea gets a Maldivian twist and sunset is celebrated each evening with a captivating ritual.

Enjoy long lunches over laughter-filled tables with sharing plates of grilled seafood alongside fruit- and herb-driven cocktails and an impressive selection of French rosés. Resident and visiting DJs spin throughout the day, fireside stories over s’mores, Cinema on the beach and Lobster and Champagne nights, and a host of weekly themed events highlight art, fashion and food curated for all generations.

ARABESQUE

An eye-catching tribute to a traditional Bedouin tent, Arabesque takes diners on a journey from Lebanon to north India.

Dishes are offered alongside flavourful hookahs, Turkish coffee, Moroccan tea and creative cocktails.
