What to Expect
Maldivian meals include the staple ingredients of fish, coconut, and chili. Rice and curries have also become an integral part of Maldivian food. Your dinner, prepared by our Hulhumale-based local family, will provide the opportunity to savor the exotic flavors of authentic Maldivian cuisine not often found in local restaurants.
Around the table, you can share your thoughts about the cooking process, learn more about the Maldives, or you could learn some useful words that you can use during the remainder of your holiday. In the traditional way, we finish our evening on the beachfront for coffee under the stars!
Dietary requirements? Our local family can accommodate some but not all dietary requirements, so if you are unsure get in touch and we will be happy to discuss options.
Hear From Our Previous Guests
It was unexpectedly good because the services from our guide and the host family were awesome. We could really taste the Maldivian style of food and visit local house at Hulhumale.
