SHAKE A LEG TO
GREAT SEAFOOD
For a gourmet traveller, a trip to
the Maldives is incomplete without
chancing upon an entirely new
seafood preparation. The Beach
Club At Clubone, at the One&Only
Reethi Rah, is the place to indulge
in exquisite seafood salads and
grills, served with picturesque
views of the blue lagoon. Guests
love the vibrant atmosphere
of the island’s southernmost
beach, complemented by lively
music that plays all afternoon.
Indulge in their selection of ‘La
Playa’ snacks, inspired by Latin
American comfort food. To please
your sweet tooth, head to Sweet
Paradise, where chefs have an
answer for all your cravings. On
Sundays, one can enjoy a lively
jazz night featuring a special set
menu paired with premium wines.

ORDER A SIDE OF STARS
A one-of-its-kind meal awaits you at Soneva
Jani, Maldives. Home to the first overwater
observatory in the archipelago, the resort offers
an exclusive dining experience—with a telescope
by your side—at So Starstruck. Choose one of
the four tables at the al fresco dining space
and indulge in fine food, while you explore the
magical cosmos with the help of a resident
astronomer. Eleos, a 16” Schmidt-Cassegraain
telescope, the largest in the Maldives, lends
you a closer look at Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon,
and also the Sombrero Galaxy sitting 31 light
years away! At the restaurant, you can get your
meal personalised depending on your food
preferences and dietary requirements. They
also prepare special menus for guests who are
vegetarian, vegan, gluten-intolerant, or who
suffer any food allergies; just inform the resort at
the time of your booking. soneva.com FROM TOP: COURTESY OF ONE AND ONLY RESORTS; COURTESY OF SONEVA JANI
