In Our Opinion
“After a day of water fun and marine exploration, sinking into a day bed or bean bag at Fen Bar, Island Chanel signature cocktail in hand is Maldivian perfection.”
Live cooking stations serve up a variety of Maldivian and International favourites.
Continental and Asian foods served in a garden setting.
Latin American flavours inspire the menu.
Located by the beach dine in a pavilion or at waters’ edge. Pan-Indian specialities and the chef’s signature menu.
Located over the lagoon, chefs showcase their skill and creativity in their production of sushi, sashimi and other Japanese dishes.
Modern beachfront setting combining Asian and European treats. Oversized daybeds and beanbags are the place to relax with a drink of your choice.
Perched over the ocean, Chill Bar serves light tapas style bites and mixed drinks. It is the place for a cocktail after sunset.
Signature lunches on secluded island, sunset dining on the beach or in-villa any time of day. Velassaru has a private dining menu to suit every occasion and every taste.
