One of the reasons that make travelling such a rewarding experience is the culinary exploration that comes with it. Wherever in the world you may find yourselves, culinary choices can make or break your journey. For those in search of the finest food and drinks served in the finest settings, look no more. Here’s a list of extraordinary dining experiences to add to your bucket list.

Gourmet Meals in an Underwater Restaurant

While exquisite dining options are abundant on land, the same can’t be said when venturing underwater. In the archipelagic country of Maldives, such dining experiences await. SEA restaurant at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is the world’s first underwater wine cellar. Step beneath the surface and you’ll be greeted by a serene and sophisticated underwater dining room surrounded by the Maldivian sea. Fresh lobsters make for a special lunch while pan-seared Japanese wagyu completes a romantic dinner. Other highlights include the Scottish salmon served with buckwheat and red quinoa risotto, ginger carrot puree, orange, tomato and olive salsa, and the sea bass served with sauteed langoustine, creamy white leeks and snow crab, green asparagus, squid ink and Hollandaise sauce. Marvel at sharks, turtles and tropical fish as you savour your dish of choice.

This is an excellent experience! I personally enjoyed the energy and the professional support.

End the day on a high note with a refreshing cocktail as you witness the vanilla twilight sunset that splits the sky.
