Maldives Promotion House – For this December Six Senses Laamu has brought in one of Spain’s best known chefs. Chef Andoni Luis Aduriz will be at Six Senses Laamu until 16th December and is also teaching some of his tricks to the guests. On December 15th taste a five Course Signature Mugaritz Menu and on December 16th learn his secrets at the Cooking Class. The dinner is for USD 220++ per person, and the Cooking Class is for USD 175++ per person.

Andoni Luis Aduriz, at the age of 36, is the winner of Spain’s National Gastronomy Prize in 2002, ‘Chef of the Year’ and ‘Patissier of the Year’ according to the guide Lo major de la Gastronomía and the Euskadi Gastronomy Prize for the best restaurateur in 2003 according to the Basque Academy of Gastronomy. He is the owner and chef of “Mugaritz Restaurant” in San Sebastian, Spain that was called World’s 3rd Best Restaurant in 2011.

His cuisine is local and hyper-seasonal that is progressive, innovative, and tied deeply to the earth. Regardless of what Aduriz chooses to explore, his philosophy remains rooted in respecting nature’s bounty, as exemplified by Mugaritz. With a backdrop of rolling hills and farmland, the restaurant resembles a rustic countryside farmhouse. Behind Mugaritz is an herb and vegetable garden that supplies the restaurant. Aduriz also forages the surrounding area for wild mushrooms, flowers, leaves, and plants. This avant garde ground-breaker has one foot in the lab and one foot in the earth.

From garden to gourmet: Dusit Thani Maldives celebrates local, responsible cuisine

Published

on

Widely recognised as a premier luxury resort in the Maldives, Dusit Thani Maldives is redefining the concept of sustainable dining. Central to the resort’s culinary ethos is a strong commitment to sourcing ingredients locally and responsibly, crafting exceptional, globally inspired dishes that reflect the natural abundance of the Maldivian archipelago.

Located just a short stroll from the resort’s kitchens, the organic Chef’s Garden thrives with fragrant herbs, edible flowers, vegetables, and fruits. Ingredients such as lemongrass, basil, papaya, and chillies are carefully hand-harvested at peak ripeness, ensuring that vibrant flavour and freshness are brought directly to the plate.

All fish featured on the resort’s menus is sustainably sourced from within the Maldives, provided by local fishermen who utilise traditional, low-impact fishing techniques. Wherever possible, produce is also procured from Maldivian farmers—an approach that supports island communities, reduces carbon emissions, and celebrates the rich biodiversity of the atolls.

“Our approach is rooted in a respect for the land and sea,” explains Executive Chef Olivier Portret. “Every dish reflects the story of the Maldives—not just its flavours, but its culture and its people. We want guests to experience something truly meaningful with every bite.”

Guests can enjoy these thoughtfully sourced ingredients across a variety of dining experiences, from fine Thai cuisine at Benjarong, to freshly grilled seafood served al fresco at Sea Grill, or even through interactive cooking classes led by the resort’s culinary team.

Through this garden-to-table philosophy, Dusit Thani Maldives offers more than exceptional cuisine—it fosters a deeper connection to place, purpose, and the planet. This commitment not only sets the resort apart as one of the finest in the Maldives, but also as a destination where sustainability and luxury exist in perfect harmony.
