Maldives holiday – enjoy the cuisine

A Maldives holiday is an ideal opportunity to sample some of the delicious local cuisine on offer. As the Maldives is made up of numerous islands, fish and other types of seafood are the staple traditional fare.

Often served with rice, fish such as skipjack tuna, little tunny and mahi-mahi are particularly popular. Maldivian cuisine features many curries, with mild sauces made using coconut milk. Sweet potatoes are a tasty side dish, while the breadfruit, which is grown on many of the islands, tastes of freshly baked bread.

There is an extensive selection of restaurants in the various hotels in the Maldives, serving an array of local and international cuisine. Whether you want to experience a highly exclusive eating house where you can book a private dining room or an informal beachside restaurant, you will have numerous options.

Have a menu created exclusively for you – or perhaps you fancy the informality of sipping cocktails from coconut shells. Whichever you prefer, a Maldives holiday has a lot to offer.
