Velassaru Maldives has introduced a new menu at its Turquoise restaurant.

The new menu, which was launched last week, introduces flavours with Southeast and Far East Asian influences, along with the old favourite dishes.

Situated at the beachside, the Turquoise restaurant offers continental and Asian influences in a relaxed, yet intimate setting. At the restaurant, palm trees provide a welcoming shade, while fresh fruit juices offer refreshment.

Located in South Male Atoll and accessible by a short 25-minute speedboat ride from the main Velana International Airport, Velassaru offers luxurious beachfront and overwater accommodation with uninterrupted ocean views. Featuring wooden ceilings and floors for a tropical atmosphere, the contemporary-styled villas and bungalows offer chic serenity.

A wide variety of international specialities are prepared at Velassaru’s five restaurants, including fresh contemporary sea food, Japanese, international and grill pan Indian options. The two beach bars serve cocktails and wines.

Guests can enjoy relaxing spa treatments in overwater pavilions, or hop on a Maldivian boat and watch the crew demonstrate traditional fishing methods. Other resort facilities include a fitness centre, tennis court and infinity pool with the view of the beach and the ocean.
