The evening will begin with a tour of the Chef’s Garden, where guests can explore the bountiful herbs, fruits and vegetables that are grown on the island. It’s a chance to see firsthand how Milaidhoo embraces fresh, local ingredients – and the thoughtful care that goes into every dish. As the sun sets, guests will gather at The Shoreline Grill beachfront restaurant for a five-course tasting menu. From the bold spices of Thailand and India to the rich, soulful flavours of Zimbabwe, the refined elegance of Sri Lanka and of course, the freshest of Maldivian ingredients, each dish celebrates a different corner of the globe and reflects the diversity of Milaidhoo’s kitchen. The team of chefs hail from five different countries, each bringing their own traditions and influences to the table. "Around the World in Five Courses" is about more than food, it’s about the people behind the dishes. Milaidhoo’s culinary team is a close-knit family, united by a shared passion for food. On International Chefs Day, they come together to celebrate not just food, but the stories, cultures and traditions that inspire it. Guests will have the chance to engage with the chefs throughout the evening, learning about their personal journeys and the inspiration behind each course. Cluster Executive Chef, Ken Gundu from Botswana shares, “A meal is about sharing a moment together, one that lingers in our memories long after the last bite. What truly excites me is the dedication of our team, each member goes above and beyond to delight and surprise guests. For us, no request is ever too much, and we strive to make every moment around the table exceptional.” At Milaidhoo, food is a way to connect, with the island - and with each other. Culinary experiences are crafted with care, an invitation to slow down and savour the moment. “Around the World in Five Courses” is a celebration of artistry, and a chance to experience the flavours that unite us all.
