Jumeirah Vittaveli has been awarded with four trophies at the World Luxury Restaurants Awards and World Luxury Spa Awards 2017.

At the gala ceremony of World Luxury Restaurants Awards and World Luxury Spa Awards, which took place at the JW Marriott Hanoi hotel in Vietnam on July 22, Jumeirah Vittaveli’s Fenesse Restaurant received two accolades, while Swarna Restaurant and Talise Spa were each recognised with one award.

“This is an excellent recognition of the service provided by our teams at each venue”, Amit Majumder, General Manager of Jumeirah Vittaveli, was quoted in a statement as saying.

“We focus on improving our facilities and offerings from year to year, but our team is the core of everything we do and I am honoured to see our efforts recognised on a global stage. We live our values on a daily basis and take pride in succeeding in our aims – to ensure our guests create everlasting memories at Jumeirah Vittaveli.”

Setting the basis for service industry standards around the globe, the World Luxury Spa Awards and World Luxury Restaurant Awards pride themselves on providing true recognition to luxury spas and restaurants in their relevant categories during its annual voting phase. Votes are garnered through various marketing channels from guests, showcasing yet again the true value of service excellence.

Jumeirah Vittaveli repeated its success from last year’s awards with a renewed continental win for the Best Indian Cuisine in Indian Ocean for Swarna.

Swarna translates to ‘gold’ in Sanskrit, reflecting royalty and the rich heritage of Indian cuisine. The gold standard at Jumeirah Vittaveli, this impressive restaurant delights guests with creative flavours, complemented by an impressive arrangement of dishes. The restaurant comprises three open-air dining cabanas, one chef’s table, and a swing for after-dinner relaxation, all dotted throughout a Maharaja Style garden venue.

The scenic overwater venue Fenesse won two awards; a continental award for the Best French Cuisine in Indian Ocean and a regional title for the Best Ambience / Romantic Atmosphere in Indian Ocean.

Fenesse tantalises guests’ palate in an elegant yet warm setting. Featuring contemporary and classic cuisine inspired by the culinary regions of France, the dedicated team of professional chefs use only the freshest ingredients to prepare their outstanding dining menus.

Talise Spa at Vittaveli received the coveted continental title of Best Luxury Wellness Spa in Indian Ocean.

The spa is inspired by the meaning of the word ‘Vittaveli’ — vastness of space and eternal light — connecting the elements of light and space with the purity and vibration of its ingredients. These ingredients are hand-harvested by local communities using traditional farming methods to ensure healing life energy held in all living things will be honoured and handed down to guests through the unique products and treatments available at Talise Spa at Vittaveli. The spa also recently introduced Aerial Yoga and offers complimentary wellness and fitness sessions every day.

Located a short 20-minute ride on board a luxurious motorised catamaran from capital, Jumeirah Vittaveli offers unmatched diversity, subtle luxury and personalised exploration, whether you are seeking a romantic getaway or an exotic destination for your family.

In addition to the recently launched Royal Residence, the resort comprises 89 villas and suites each with their own swimming pool and direct access to the beach or lagoon. The private and spacious villas are available with one or two bedrooms making them the ideal accommodation for both families and couples. Highlights are the free-standing Ocean Suites, located only a heartbeat away from the main island and accessible by complimentary boat service.
