The restaurant and bar Seasalt, which is open all day, is a creative mix of tastes from around the world in a laid-back coastal setting.

Local fish, caught and supplied daily by nearby local fishermen, is the star of the show at Seasalt. It is thoughtfully sourced and delicately prepared. Enjoy the flavour of the sea in meals that are bursting with ancient tastes, spices, and colours in coastal cuisine that combines Middle Eastern and Mediterranean inspirations and traditions.

Along with freshly made bread, breakfast features a daily rotation of regional and international favourites. Daily specials are served with light, sharing-style dishes for lunch, while the restaurant’s famous salt-baked fish dishes are the focus of the supper menu.

At Umami, which serves modern Japanese food and drinks, you can enjoy a wide range of tastes.

Umami, which translates to “essence of deliciousness” in Japanese, is widely regarded as the fifth and final taste bud. It’s a beautiful way to show how many tempting things can happen in this open space where the ocean breeze blows.

Menus with a Japanese flair are expertly prepared in the teppanyaki theatre, and they feature a wide selection of organically grown vegetables, Wagyu beef, and sustainably sourced fish and shellfish.

In the main dining room or on the beach, we serve both traditional and modern a la carte Japanese cuisine, such as fresh fish roasted over charcoal embers and served with exquisite speciality sauces, and sushi and sashimi made with seafood caught right here in the Maldives.

On the way out to your next island adventure, pick up a tasty gourmet snack or a chilled drink.

In Sanskrit, pibati means “to drink, absorb, or imbibe.” In addition to organic salads, cakes and pastries, gelato, and more, this laid-back beachside café satisfies your daytime cravings with forest-friendly teas, aromatic barista coffees, juices, and wellness concoctions. Comfort food options include everything from hand-pulled Roman-style pizzas to pressed sandwiches, cakes and pastries, and more.

Sail on a traditional Maldivian dhoni to the resort’s nearby secluded sandbank, for a special culinary adventure, just for two (or a small group).

Alila Kothaifaru’s own little sand cay, The Shack, offers a true island getaway experience (Giri). Daily visits to The Shack are offered in two different forms: (1) a 4-hour day trip with a picnic-style lunch and (2) a 4-hour evening visit with a private chef who prepares a BBQ for Dinner by the sunset.

Advanced reservation is required.

Relax at the resort’s Mirus Bar, which features a diverse and imaginative selection of drinks and small nibbles.

The Mirus Bar, which takes its name from the Dhivehi term for “chilli” in the area, offers a variety of energising drinks made with ingredients from our own herb garden and influenced by the area’s former Portuguese and Arabic spice trade routes. Additionally, a wide selection of organic and biodynamic wines from the Old and New Worlds are available here. Match your beverage with South Asian-famous local snacks and Spanish tapas.

The destination to be for sundowners, including mocktails and creative cocktails with Asian influences.
