The development of Hurawalhi Maldives Resort is in full swing, with ‘5.8’ hitting the headlines for being the world’s largest underwater restaurant. Hurawalhi is fast becoming the resort of choice for the luxury-seeking and gastronomically curious traveller.

Canelli, the main, buffet-style restaurant will spoil with its lavish international cuisine, using the freshest of ingredients from all four corners of the globe, boasting live cooking stations with both indoor and outdoor sitting options.

The over-the-water, à la carte Aquarium Restaurant will offer diners the experience of enjoying a variety of thoughtfully sourced, organic and fresh delicacies, including seafood and prime beef. Not to be missed: the Teppanyaki experience and Aquarium’s heavenly desserts.

Hurawalhi’s spectacular underwater restaurant will satiate hunger and leave diners wowed with its positioning 5.8 meters (18 feet) beneath the water. The space inside 5.8 has been designed for intimate conversations, with seating for a maximum of 8 couples. Presented on bespoke crockery, reflecting the theme of such a unique locale, the menu concept is a multi-course tasting extravaganza, also available with wine pairing options, narrated by the Sommelier.

In addition to the above delights, guests will find it easy to surrender to the lush paradise setting and be dazzled by the choice of tapas and pastry delicacies (sprinkled with views of the lagoon!) at Coco Bar, sample divine coctktails, shaken and rattled by Hurawalhi’s master mixologists at Aquarium Bar, and go on pre-dinner rendevouz to Spinners Champagne Pavilion, which will combine an extensive list of champagne and cocktails, canapés and petit fours with stunning views of Dream Island and regular dolphins and Manta Rays passing by.

For the utmost exclusivity and special occasions, private beach dining experiences will be available, as well as in-villa service for treats such as champagne breakfast, and delectable seafood platters and hampers for intimate, candlelit ambience on villa decks or by the private pools.
