Restaurants and Bars in Royal Island Resort & Spa
Maakanaa Main Restaurant – Every meal promises a fusion of flavors. From continental buffet-style breakfasts made for grazing on to our chef’s playful take on dishes synonymous with South Asia, all our food showcases ingredients sourced from nearby Maldivian islands or the colorful open-air markets in Malé. Open morning, noon, and night, our beachside restaurant, Maakanaa, is a place to come together and feast on food that captures the true spirit of the Maldives.
Raabondhi – The food at Raabondhi is a celebration of the underwater world around us. Flamed-grilled meats and freshly caught seafood, ocean-facing tables on the sugar-white sandy shoreline, and a laid-back atmosphere to match. Backed by a grove of swaying coconut palms on the quieter south side of the island, Raabondi is a place for everything from light lunches to candlelit dinners. Our chefs are famed for their locally caught Maldivian lobster, cooked whole on the outdoor coal-fired grill.
Boli Bar – With soft, cabana-style seating and classic beach bar vibes, Boli Bar is where you can come together over live music, freshly brewed coffee, and coconut-infused cocktails. By day, gather for freshly pressed juices and a game of pool. After dinner, pick from our selection of fine wines, beers, spirits, and liquors and settle in for a night of live music on the moonlit deck.
Fun Pub – With a well-stocked bar and music from live bands and DJs until late, Fun Pub provides the setting and soundtrack for those livelier nights on the island. Open every night from 9pm, Fun Pub is where you can sit back and relax with a cocktail, make some music of your own at the karaoke bar, or simply dance the night away.
Pool Bar – Our swim-up pool bar serves everything from ice-cold beers to freshly pressed juices. With submerged seating and a traditional palm-thatched roof, it’s a place to embrace a slower pace of life. Take a break from the midday sun and stop by for refreshing coconut water, chilled wines by the glass, or a selection of spirits and liquors. Or, ask our talented bar team to mix up a new version of your favorite cocktail.
