Is there a meal plan, and how does the dining work?
Ayada runs eight restaurants — an international buffet at Magu, a Japanese teppanyaki grill at Mizu, a Turkish café, a beach barbecue, and more — with all outlets using fresh, organic ingredients from the resort's own garden and local farms. Every kitchen caters to dietary requirements on request, and IMJ confirms your meal plan and any dietary notes with the resort ahead of arrival.
