Villa Nautica, the Maldives / Dining
Our six superb restaurants showcase global cuisines, including authentic Japanese- and Italian-inspired dining. Our Maldivian dishes are fragrant with traditional spices and we enjoy an abundance of seafood caught by local fishermen in the waters that surround the island. Fresh produce is handpicked daily by chefs from our organic gardens or markets in Malé.

There’s nothing more memorable on an island holiday than eating outdoors on the beach or discovering a new cuisine.
