A Maldivian national with extensive hospitality experience, Chef Faiz joins Royal Island after leading multi-outlet operations across renowned island resorts and international properties. His background spans menu development, kitchen brigade leadership, food-cost management, and HACCP implementation. He has been recognised with industry accolades, including Executive Chef of the Year by the Chefs Guild of Maldives and an NSURE Food Safety leadership award.

At Royal Island, Chef Faiz will oversee culinary operations across restaurants, bars, and private dining, elevate Maldivian and international menus through seasonal, technique-driven cooking, and continue to embed rigorous food-safety and training standards across the brigade.

Set in Baa Atoll near the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Hanifaru Bay, Royal Island is known for intimate, boutique-style hospitality and a strong sense of Maldivian culture. It provides an ideal stage for Chef Faiz to showcase ingredient-led cuisine and warm island service.
