Before you book
What dining and bar venues does the resort have?
Five dining venues — Maakeyn Buffet Restaurant, Thari Over Water Restaurant, Thila Japanese Restaurant, the Farivalhu Maldivian Dining Experience (a four-seat garden hut with traditional dishes and sarongs), and the fully personalised Kakuni Seafood Dining Experience (staged wherever a guest chooses: beach, water-villa terrace or bungalow) — plus two bars, Boli Beach Bar and Thari Over Water Bar. The resort's published photography doesn't include dedicated shots of Farivalhu, Kakuni or the Thari bar, so IMJ confirms current details with the resort ahead of a stay.
