Renowned as a leading luxury resort in Maldives, Dusit Thani Maldives is redefining what it means to dine sustainably. At the heart of its culinary philosophy is a commitment to sourcing locally and responsibly, creating exceptional, globally inspired cuisine that honours the natural abundance of the Maldives.
Just steps from the resort’s kitchens, the organic Chef’s Garden flourishes with fragrant herbs, edible flowers, vegetables, and fruits. Ingredients such as lemongrass, basil, papaya, and chillies are hand-harvested at peak ripeness, bringing vibrant flavour and freshness straight to the plate.
All fish featured in the resort’s menus is sustainably sourced from within the Maldives, supplied by local fishermen who practise low-impact, traditional methods. Wherever possible, produce is also sourced from Maldivian farmers, supporting island communities, reducing carbon impact, and celebrating the rich biodiversity of the atolls.
“Our approach is rooted in a respect for the land and sea,” shares Executive Chef Olivier Portret. “Every dish reflects the story of the Maldives, not just its flavours, but its culture and its people. We want guests to experience something truly meaningful with every bite.”
Guests can savour these ingredients in a range of culinary settings, from fine Thai dining at Benjarong to open-air grilled seafood at Sea Grill, or even during hands-on cooking classes.
With this garden-to-table approach, Dusit Thani Maldives offers more than just extraordinary cuisine, it delivers a deeper connection to place, purpose, and planet. This philosophy positions the resort as not only one of the best resorts in Maldives, but also a destination where sustainability and luxury seamlessly meet.
