Kandima - maldivian floating lunch

Floating breakfasts are becoming a staple of the food-photo-ing Instagrammers at resorts. Kandima was one of the early pioneers of the buoyant buffet and now they have gone a step further in distinction with a special Maldivian fare option:

  • “We not only offer the bucket list Floating Breakfast, but we also offer an oh-so-authentic Maldivian Floating Lunch! Savour a truly private floating lunch in your villa pool bursting with exotic Maldivian flavours for an ultimate exclusive experience”

Just right for Lori who Maldivian favourite mashuni. Also, this post has prompted me to add the new tag “Floating Dining” as well as “Maldivian Cuisine” (which I was surprised that I hadn’t done yet).

  • · “The Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE-1 – the world’s first hydrofoil e-bikes – is capable to speed up to 11 knots. These emission-free, wake-free, near-silent wave-riding phenomena harness the same technology as America’s Cup yachts to create a completely new cycling experience on water.”

Best of the Maldives: Culinary Zip Line – Soneva Fushi

\ Leave a Comment \ by

Soneva Fushi takes a great concept, takes it just that little bit further, and makes it their own. (thanks Paola) I’ve long been waiting for a zip line in the Maldives. So guests could fly across the canopy. But instead of “Flying Foxes”, they present “Flying Sauces”:

  • “We’re delighted to introduce Flying Sauces, our exhilarating new culinary concept at Soneva Fushi. This first-of-its-kind dining destination is set to become a true bucketlist experience for gastronomes and thrill-seekers alike, combining the adrenaline-fuelled excitement of a zipline with an exquisite gourmet menu. The 200-metre zipline route glides through the leafy jungle from The Den to our treetop dining platform, which towers 12 metres above the ground and commands spectacular views across the ocean. Serving breakfast, high tea and dinner with optional wine pairing, Chef Rasal’s seasonal menu is inspired by our idyllic island setting, with dishes crafted from organic ingredients freshly picked from our gardens or caught by local fisherman in our nearby waters.”
