In the Maldives, the “one-resort-one-island” concept means that dining is limited to the island where the resort is located, but many resorts offer multiple dining options to suit guests’ tastes. The Lily Beach Resort & Spa in the South Ari Atoll is one such resort, with seven dining experiences to choose from.

Lily Maa is a sand-floored, buffet-style restaurant that offers a different world cuisine every day of the week. It also features a live lobster tank for guests who love lobster. Tamarind is a fine dining restaurant located on stilts overlooking the ocean, with a menu that combines Indian and Thai cuisine. Teppanyaki is a live cooking station at the AQVA Bar where guests can watch skilled chefs prepare lavish dinners using the freshest ingredients.

Les Turquoise D’Aqua is a romantic dining experience with a five-course degustation menu and a moonlit ambience. Vibes Bar is a lively venue for young people and families to enjoy light bites and refreshments throughout the day, while Aqva Bar is an adults-only bar with an infinity pool and a laid-back atmosphere. Spirit Bar is a sand-floored bar with an opulent charm, offering rich cocktails and drinks on the menu. Overall, the Maldives is a popular destination for food enthusiasts to indulge in a variety of flavors while enjoying the beautiful landscape.
