Restaurants
Welcome to a world of flavour inspired by the Maldivian ‘wana mola’, a traditional grinding stone and pin used to blend fresh spices into the perfect medley of taste, texture and aroma. In each of our restaurants, you’ll find organic, locally and sustainably sourced ingredients whipped up into delectable feasts by chefs from around the world.
THE OCEAN TERRACE

FLAVOURS FROM ACROSS THE OCEAN
The Ocean Terrace is the place to explore, where East meets West and beach meets ocean. Breakfast is healthy, with fresh juices and smoothies, egg-white omelettes, or pancakes drizzled in syrup if you prefer. For lunch and dinner, our live cooking stations sizzle with Mediterranean, Asian and speciality Maldivian flavours.
CHARCOAL

FRESH SEAFOOD, SIZZLING STEAKS AND SUNSETS

THE SKIPJACK BAR

DON’T GET UP, WE’LL COME TO YOU
Plant yourself in a poolside lounger and exhale. Snack all day on wood-fired pizzas, tapas and noodles, with smoothies and iced coffee in between. Evenings are chilled as the sun goes down and the beat comes on, with the occasional movie under the stars.
TRIBE

CHILL AND LET LOOSE
Gather around the fire, feet buried in the sand. Chill to the beat of the DJ, a cocktail in hand. Tribe is the place to hit at sunset, with mellow vibes, fire dancing and shisha. Lose yourself to the magic of the island and the night.
SMUGGLER'S SHACK

Things to do
Our island is one big playground, surrounded by nothing but ocean. Zoom across the waters with our high-tech toys, or slow down and chill by the resort pool. The diving in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve is beyond compare, as is our house reef.
SPLASH
The main resort pool is a hangout haven, with views towards the horizon, a pool bar serving up ice-cold drinks, sun loungers galore, a Jacuzzi and slide.
ZOOM
If it’s adrenaline you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. Jet through the water with a Seabob, launch into the air with a flyboard, or soar over the lagoon with kitesurfing and parasailing. Our fleet of speedboats and yachts is also on standby to take you where the big game are, the dolphins play and the sun sets.
DIVE
Fares means reef in Dhivehi, and boy is our reef spectacular. Located within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the colours of the corals are surreal and baby reef shark swim right up to the shoreline. Just snorkelling around the island brings encounters with hawksbill turtles and whale sharks, while nearby Hanifaru Bay is world famous for its hundreds of manta rays.
SCORE
For those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, the island is equipped with full-sized tennis and badminton courts, as well as an air-conditioned games room for chilled playtime.
AFTER DARK
Our island bursts to life at sundown, with DJ beats, traditional drumming and fire shows, all underneath a blanket of brilliant stars. Gather around the fire with a molecular cocktail in hand, and dance the night away.
Discover Paradise at the Holiday Island Resort & Spa in the Maldives
