At NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort, dining is more than just a meal — it’s an immersive part of the island experience, where fresh flavours, relaxed beachside settings, and thoughtful design come together to satisfy every appetite in spectacular Maldivian surroundings.

Nestled on a private island in the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, this resort offers a collection of three distinct restaurants and two bars, each cultivating its own unique flavour and atmosphere to complement the laid-back luxury of island life. Whether you’re starting the day with a hearty breakfast, savouring grilled seafood at sunset, or enjoying cocktails beneath starlit skies, the dining options here are designed to delight every palate.

REEF – All-Day Dining With Ocean Views

At the heart of Havodda’s culinary offering is REEF, the resort’s all-day dining restaurant. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, REEF serves an enticing mix of international dishes, Asian favourites, and themed buffets that change throughout the week. Its open, relaxed design and sweeping views of the Indian Ocean make it an inviting place to gather with family and friends, while intimate seating options also appeal to couples seeking a romantic dinner by the water.

Guests can begin the day with a spread of fresh tropical fruits, eggs cooked to order, and global breakfast classics, then return for lunch and dinner where Mediterranean, Maldivian, and regional Asian influences combine under one roof. Special themed nights add variety and surprise to the dining experience, making each visit to REEF feel fresh and exciting.

SURF – Grilled Specialties and Beachside Romance

For those who seek a more intimate and elevated dining experience, SURF is the resort’s signature grilled-meats and fresh seafood restaurant. Here, the emphasis is on quality ingredients prepared with care — from prime cuts of meat to freshly caught fish from the surrounding seas. Guests can choose to dine at the bar that encircles the open kitchen or sit al fresco on the beach, where a gentle sea breeze and the sound of waves enhance every bite.

With its warm lighting and ocean backdrop, SURF is especially well-suited for special occasions and romantic dinners under the stars, offering an elegant alternative to the all-day buffet. In addition to its à la carte menu, the restaurant occasionally hosts cooking classes for guests who want to deepen their culinary engagement.

Pizza Kaage – Poolside & Casual

Sometimes a relaxed midday meal is all you need, and Pizza Kaage provides just that. Located on an elevated deck overlooking the swimming pool and beach, this casual eatery serves some of the best pizzas in the Maldives, alongside light Italian-Mediterranean snacks and refreshments. Open from lunch through mid-afternoon, it’s the perfect spot to recharge after a swim or snorkelling adventure, with laid-back vibes and ocean views adding to the experience.

Bars & Moments to Savour

No island escape is complete without sunset cocktails, and Havodda’s bar offerings elevate every moment. Thari Bar, set poolside, invites guests to unwind with a chilled drink, while the wet lounge and cabanas create a relaxed social setting throughout the day. As the sun dips toward the horizon, Iru Bar becomes the place to be — serving fresh cocktails from late afternoon and offering an ideal scene to toast another Maldivian sunset.

For those who prefer privacy, in-villa dining is available 24 hours, bringing international favourites right to your doorstep. This personalised service ensures that whether you’re savouring a dinner under the stars or enjoying a quiet breakfast on your deck, the resort’s culinary team brings the flavours of Havodda directly to you.

At NH Collection Maldives Havodda Resort, each restaurant and bar contributes to a dining tapestry that celebrates local ingredients, global influences, and the relaxed rhythm of island living — making every meal a memorable part of your Maldives escape.
