Dining

Both local flavors and international dining options are on the menu of most of the guesthouses and local restaurants.

Classic Maldivian dishes to try would be Mas Huni – Maldivain breakfast made with tuna, coconut, onion, and chili, served with flatbread. Garudhiya, a fish soup eaten with rice and fish sides, garnished with fresh lemon, onion, chillies, and different sides like freshly made theluli fai, which is a locally grown moringa sidedish often enjoyed by the islanders.

Enjoy an evening of having a Maldivian tea of special selection of short eats called hedhikaa at a local café. Ask a local and they will be eager to tell you about the varieties of hedhikaa and how they are made.

Guesthouses often hold BBQ nights with fresh seafood and catches from fishing trips creating a festive communal island experience.
