Relax! It’s too hot to do anything else, except perhaps to decide whether to order from a menu of fresh salads, burgers, wood-fired pizza or pick up a choice cut of eye fillet or lamb loin to be grilled by yourself under the shade of a coconut grove, pausing briefly for a sip of your favourite beverage, chatting to fellow sun loungers with grillers. Opens from 11:00am to 10:30pm.
The Sunset Deck & Bar holds true to its name as it serves as the best place on the resort to enjoy an unhindered view of a dramatic, bold, Maldivian sunset, while sipping on your favourite drink. Choose from our extensive bar menu featuring cocktails, beer and wine, while taking in the 360-degree panoramic views of our paradise island and the Indian Ocean. The Sunset Deck also offers Shisha with a variety of tempting flavours to choose from.
Kick your feet up and relax on our sunny island resort in Maldives. Order a pizza, sandwich or salad to soothe your hunger pangs after an exciting day on our island.
