Spa

‘You are cordially invited to embark on a journey……

A journey that will touch every sense of your being, will warm, soothe and balance the mind, and provide a calming sanctuary, far away from your everyday hectic life.

Let your aches and tensions flow away when entering our sanctuary of harmony and serenity, surrounded only by the music of water.

‘Shui’ stems from the South-East Asian expression for ‘water’ or ‘running water’, embodying our organic, flowing philosophy which is centered on the eternal cycle of water that is all around us – the essence of life itself and the element that links the human body with the natural world.

Come and experience pure indulgence…

…Your Way.

Dining

Four Corners

As its name suggests, the all-day Four Corners restaurant offers cuisine from around the world, cooked using the finest local ingredients. Feast on ‘Indian Ocean King Scallops terrine with Gazpacho Sorbet’one day and a good old fashioned hamburger the next. You can also choose between buffet and a la carte.

Saffron

Dining locations don’t get much more romantic than the cutting-edge, over-water Asian-fusion restaurant Saffron which specializes in local delicacies such as ‘Confit of Duck Salad wrapped in betel leaf’ with wider Asian influences.

Medium Rare

Exquisite fresh local lobster, melt-in-your-mouth Black Wagyu steaks and fresh line caught fish are all the rage at Medium Rare, where food is considered art and everything is prepared with great ceremony right in front of you, in the central open kitchen.

Salt Water

Stargaze from a cushion-stuffed hammock suspended over the edge of the deck at the Beach House’s sultry Salt Water bar. Let the sound of live acoustic music wash over and admit you’re finally succumbing to the utter tranquility of your surroundings.

Infiniti

The low-key Maldivian Infiniti Bar has a deck and swimming pool that extends lazily over the water and an utterly chilled bare-foot luxury vibe to match.

Amazon

Imagine a fairytale pool of clear water in a rainforest and you’ll begin to understand the vibe at Amazon, a traditional Maldivian-style bar. The pool, fed by a waterfall which gurgles playfully away in the background, has submerged seating and a number of water-jets.

The Cellar

Wine connoisseurs will rejoice at the resort’s well-stocked wine cellar and its world-class, infinitely knowledgeable sommelier. If you’d like, we can arrange a whole dinner for you in the cellar. A treasure trove of innovative wines, the world’s most respected will vie for space with an impressive selection of rare and vintage labels.

Destination Dining

What the Beach House does particularly well is the personalized dining experience. You will find a fleet of mobile chefs at hand to arrange private dinners in secluded over-water pavilions or in the comfort of your own villa.

Celebrations

Over Christmas and New Year, a variety of gala meals will be available for those who want to participate – from a Christmas Eve Gala Dinner to a New Year’s Day champagne Brunch.

Honeymooners booking thirteen nights or more will receive lots of benefits including a complimentary blessing ceremony, a wedding cake, a private dinner and more, all captured by a local photographer.
