Breakfast, lunch and dinner at KULA, our all-day dining restaurant, is a bountiful and casual affair in our breezy and bright dining room. Kula means “colors” in Dhivehi (the local Maldivian language) and a colorful menu is exactly what we feature – you can enjoy authentic American, European, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, cooked by our diverse culinary team that hales from around the globe. They cook what they love – and we know you will too. The dining room is flanked on one side by a large kitchen with live food stations and with views of the pool and the ocean on the other. Lush plants fill the space, a vibrant jungle foliage pattern covers the dining banquettes. Large pendant lights made from palm fronds hang from the peaked ceiling, and two wood communal tables bring guests together.

Lunch 1 - 3PM

Our authentic Maldivian Restaurant, GUDUGUDA features traditional celebratory Maldivian food. GUDUGUDA is the Dhivehi (the local Maldivian language) noun for a special shisha water pipe, and also describes the activity of relaxing and conversing while enjoying it. Traditionally an activity enjoyed by women in the Maldives, we invite all our guests to relax and partake in our adjoining lounge before or after their meal. Our menus are driven by locally caught, seafood-driven dishes - flavorful coconut milk curries with carefully selected complimentary fresh spices and herbs, fresh regional fruits and vegetables, delicate and aromatic rice dishes and perfectly cooked breads. The restaurant is illuminated by a slatted wood screen emanating glowing light, and inside the space is dark and intimate, softened by sheer indigo drapery and natural woven rugs. Dining in the traditional style, low to the floor on cushions indoors and out, surrounded by rustic Maldivian furniture and decorations, guests are enveloped in warm, authentic hospitality that can normally only be found in domestic Maldivian spaces.
For a feet-in-the-sand casual and supremely fun dining experience, swing by our BBQ SHAK, where fresh seafood and meats are grilled to perfection over coconut shell charcoal, and offered with a variety of house-made sauces, specially paired with each dish. There is no pretense here – just great vibe, beach and reggae inspired music, and lots of great flavors to try. Our friendly servers take your order table side from where you can see our chefs grilling your selections to order, the ocean sits just to your other side.
Wednesday - Sunday 6:00PM - 10:30PM

Order at the bar or throughout the space from one of our friendly servers. Can't budge from your pool lounger? We’ll bring it to you! For the kid in us all – head over to our custom-made 3D ping pong tables that have a concentric, tubular form, giving the timeless game a surprising twist. Or grab a table with checkers, chess and backgammon, all of which have been hand-painted directly onto the table tops, so you can play and sip at the same time.

As the sun sets, we invite our guests to BERU BAR, our adults-only, over-water-club which is perched just feet above ocean. We feature a world-class cocktail program which highlights luxurious fresh tropical juices and unique spirits, and crave-able bar snacks like tamarin-coconut prawns and banana blossom fish and chips. The exterior facade of BERU BAR is painted with a Dazzle Ship-inspired mural of warm orange tones, and the interior features raw and natural textures and comfortable floor cushions, creating a warm space to watch the sunset. This all sets the stage for a daily sunset ritual, led by a Boduberu dummer (a local Maldivian percussionist), thanking the sun for its daily energy and ushering in the twilight hours. Gentle breezes inspire joyful conversations, and on occasion, you’ll discover stars among you when we host night-time karaoke. And when the starts align just so, and the vibe is right, we launch the pontoon party boat to bring other island dwellers over for a dance party! Warm red lights and large disco ball activate the dance floor, and we invite local DJs to spin irresistible Maldivian inspired-beats, drawing everyone to the glass bottomed dance floor to move with the waves and sea creatures illuminated below.
