Velassaru Maldives has added newly created dishes to the menu of its Sand restaurant.
New favourites include Coconut Marinated Reef Fish, Tuna Tartar, Duck Foie Gras, Soft Shell Crab and Tasmanian Salmon. These dishes both look and taste exquisite.
Sand offers ocean-front dining. Guests can sit by the water’s edge or in one of the private dining pavilions against a perfect Maldivian sunset, whilst indulging in beautifully prepared Pan-Indian Ocean specialties or from the chef’s signature menu.
Owned and operated by leading local hotel group Universal Resorts, Velassaru is located in South Male Atoll and accessible by a short 25-minute speedboat ride from the main Velana International Airport.
Velassaru offers luxurious beachfront and overwater accommodation with uninterrupted ocean views. Featuring wooden ceilings and floors for a tropical atmosphere, the contemporary-styled villas and bungalows offer chic serenity.
A wide variety of international specialities are offered at Velassaru’s five restaurants, including fresh contemporary seafood, Japanese, international and grill pan Indian options. The two beach bars serve cocktails and wines.
Guests can enjoy relaxing spa treatments in overwater pavilions, or hop on a Maldivian boat and watch the crew demonstrate traditional fishing methods. Other resort facilities include a fitness centre, tennis court and infinity pool with the view of the beach and the ocean.
