5.8 Undersea Restaurant

The search for the elusive gastronomical heaven appears to be over: the spectacular 5.8 dazzles and delights diners with a multi-course tasting extravaganza, garnished with a state-of-the-art location. 5.8 is as much a fine dining culinary delight as it is an extraordinary design masterpiece – paired, you can sate your appetite and dive into the pleasure of having a view that but a few restaurants in the world afford.

Kashibo Restaurant & Bar

The contemporary Kashibo Restaurant (kashibo is Dhivehi for sea urchin) hits the spot with a picture-perfect setting and a divine dining menu in equal measure. Indulge in highlights of Asian street food and pamper your palate with everything you love about Chinese, Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese cuisine, among other, and enjoy a range of seafood staples and vegetarian dishes.

An Asian cocktail menu of world-class standard will be vying for your attention with the unmissable shochu cocktails that you can sip on while reclining in the shade during the day’s hottest hours or when the night falls and lights illuminate the ocean and reef sharks and rays make an appearance.

Canneli Restaurant

The tantalising aromas. The sizzling of the food. The atmosphere. Canneli will impress you with all of these, and spice things up with themed evening, allowing you to sample various international cuisine during your stay. The restaurant is a melting pot of flavours and people, creating a contemporary and relaxed dining experience. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all culinary occasions where one can take delight in mouth-watering creations prepared with only the finest of ingredients.

Canneli, which stands for ‘yellowfin tuna’ in Dhivehi, has both indoor and outdoor seating options, the latter being especially charming at breakfast when occasional dolphins may pass by in the distance.

Champagne Pavilion

At Hurawalhi, time is left at the door and one can relish the little things in life. Nature bestows the Maldives with some awe-inspiring sunsets, which can be best admired from the resort’s westernmost spot – the Champagne Pavilion.

But this is not the only natural wonder that can be experienced here – dolphins make regular appearance and with a bit of luck, they will not only rush past, but may put on a spectacular spinning, twisting and jumping performance.

Coco Bar

Find your holiday bliss at Coco Bar, at which the otherworldly beauty of Hurawalhi and the mandatory relaxation are a matter of fact. Snag a spot on the al fresco deck to admire views of the infinity pool and the beach and sample the haute cocktails that are one of the hallmarks of Coco Bar.

J.F.K. ~ Junk Food Kitchen

From gluten- and dairy-free nachos to rice-battered cauliflower vegan wings, creativity with plant-based dishes knows no limits. Even the die-hard carnivores might convert after biting their teeth into what is according to Executive Chef the most iconic dish: a vegan, gluten-free burger. Those who like their meat won’t be disappointed either, as only the best cuts of matured meat are on offer. It would be a sin to skip the chef’s tomahawk steak, one of the hearty burgers or at least the jalapeno and lime chicken wings!
