The signature restaurant - Sea.Fire.Salt.Sky. dining complex is a one-of-a-kind over and under water dining concept.

Sea. Descend to the ocean's dazzling depths as you wine and dine at the unique underwater wine cellar and restaurant. With service to match a superb culinary repertoire and an atmosphere of relaxed refinement, dining in this unforgettable aquatic setting promises a definite island highlight.

Fire. Prepare yourself for sizzling theatrics in the teppanyaki lounge, as the talented chefs dazzle you with their acrobatic cooking skills. Admire the show as the freshest local rock lobster, best grain fed Japanese beef or catch of the day are grilled to your personal preference.

Salt. An experience beyond compare. Picture a tender and juicy Red Snapper infused with lemongrass, ginger and coursed black pepper, baking to perfection before your eyes on a Himalayan salt block, to deliver a unique depth and complexity of flavour.

Sky. Climb to the centre of conviviality and discover a rooftop bar with breathtaking island views over the Baa Atoll. Then as a romantic evening unfolds, soak up an inviting ambience of mellow music as you unwind with exquisite cocktail in your hand.

By day you can swim-up to the pool bar serving exotic juices and tropical cocktails, or enjoy a casual lunch with fresh salads and traditional pastas on offer. By night Manzaru transforms into a leisurely Italian delice, where the island's Italian Chef unravels voyages of culinary discovery, from regional specialties skilfully crafted from traditional ingredients, to connoisseur olive oil tasting sessions.

This signature Anantara experience is not to be missed. Simply select your dream location, whether a barbecue for two on the beach, an eclectic feast on the boardwalk, or a picnic in a palm grove and the chefs and butlers will take care of everything else.
