1. Oaga Art Resort

Ads By Six Senses Kanuhura

At Oaga Art Resort, mixology is part of the island’s daily rhythm rather than a set experience. Raa Baa, the main bar, sits at the centre of it all – attached to the main pool, open from morning through late evening; a space where art and relaxation collide. The space shifts naturally as the day moves on, without much need for structure.

The drinks follow a similar approach. Coconut, herbs, and spices appear often, not in a way that feels overly styled, but familiar and easy to return to. There is a sense of consistency rather than performance, which suits the setting. On the island’s northeast, Sobi Bar offers something quieter. An intimate space, centered around a curated selection of artisan beers and gins, perfect for a sunlit afternoon escape. Together, these mixology spaces shape the social settings of the island - unforced, steady, and closely tied to its surroundings.

2. The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort - Sunset Bar

At The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, the day naturally slows at Sunset Bar. Set high above the shoreline at the island’s corner, the rooftop bar welcomes guests into an open-air space designed for that quiet window of time when the sky shifts from gold to deep coral and the ocean begins to darken.

And its cocktail menu is crafted to complement the sunset experience. The "Golden Hour," made with Scotch whisky, passion fruit, lime, and honey, delivers a warm, slightly smoky sweetness reminiscent of sunset colors. "Misty Hills" blends jasmine tea and gin, resulting in a lighter, floral, and aromatic drink. "Spice Rout" is bolder, combining bourbon, tamarind, chili, and cardamom for a spicy-sweet profile. Tropical blends like "Pearl of the Ocean" and "Tropical Serenade" mix coconut, pineapple, and citrus, highlighting fresh, fruity flavors suited for tropical evenings. The Sunset Bar lives up to its name, offering exceptional cocktails against stunning Maldivian sunsets.

3. Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort

Mixology at Sirru Fen Fushi is an experience of its own, shaped by the salty air and gold hour stillness. At the heart of this experience is Onu Onu, the resort’s Balinese-inspired beach bar. Fresh smoothies and chilled beers with light bites are paired with relaxed sun-drenched afternoons.

As the evening arrives, Onu Onu comes alive. A selection of island-inspired cocktails invites guests to wind down and ease into the night. A favourite among guests is the Garden To Glass — a fusion of gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, lemongrass juice, ginger syrup, fresh mint leaves, topped with sprite or soda, delivering the perfect zing. 

“Behind the Bar,” the latest addition to its Sirru Icon Series, further elevates the guest experience where the resort welcomes internationally acclaimed mixologists for exclusive cocktail series. Guests can indulge in exquisite cocktails and fine wines in the tropical setting.
