Restaurants
Kashiveli. Located directly on the beach and open for breakfast and dinner, Kashiveli – which translates as ‘coral sands’ in the local Dhivehi language – embodies locally-sourced, nutritious ingredients and vibrant flavors through a marriage of land and ocean. Breakfasts celebrate the region’s wide variety of fresh tropical fruits with an ever-changing array of smoothies, juices and fresh fruit plates made to order, as well as traditionally Maldivian offerings such as Mas Huni and international favorites.
By The Sea. Engulfed by our tropical jungle and offering sweeping ocean views, this intimate restaurant presents a Japanese fine-dining feast that is an affair to remember. Enjoy exquisite sushi, sashimi and specialties from our seasonal tasting menus and interact with our highly skilled teppanyaki chef as he puts on a show. By The Sea’s extensive sake list is sure to impress, and if you need any guidance our knowledgeable sommeliers know what to suggest.
Bars
Overwater Bar. Standing on stilts in the lagoon, the Overwater Bar floats in a dreamy landscape and offers breathtaking, uninterrupted sea views. At lunchtime, find salads fresh from our organic garden, Mediterranean dishes, the catch of the day and daily chef’s special. For a healthier option, consider the light yet nutritional and substantial dish from Hari’s superfood menu. Come sunset, it’s where you’ll want to be with a coconut martini in hand, relishing the balmy evening breeze.
Fini Foni. Fini Foni in Dhivehi means Cold and Sweet, suggesting a place where you can have some cold sweet fun. Savour unique homemade flavors of Popsicle and Ice Cream by the poolside and a stone’s throw from the Tennis Court, an enhancement to the Gili Wine & Dine experience during the day while you bask under the sun for that glowing tan. Mouthwatering snacks and delicious cocktails are also made available for you upon request.
Underground wine cellar. A unique underground wine cellar that is home to a wide range of wines from around the world, a cozy space to learn more about wines with our team of knowledgeable sommeliers. Our cavernous cellar hides at the bottom of a flight of glass stairs and was designed around a huge piece of driftwood that was once swept ashore. It houses more than 500 varieties of wine from numerous international regions.
Gili Wine and Dine. On each night of the week, embark on a different Gili Wine and Dine experience at unique locations around the island. Sit back and allow our team of chefs to surprise you with mouthwatering dishes from a bespoke menu just for you.
