There can be few more exotic places to watch a movie than in a jungle cinema in the Maldives… complete with its own Teppanyaki restaurant.
That’s what luxury resort Vakkaru Maldives, in Baa Atoll, has added to its entertainment options this festive season.

Accompaniments include miso soup, teppanyaki grilled vegetables, Japanese pickles and Japanese fried rice.
Still have room? How about Flambé pineapple and ice cream stuffed with batter-fried profiteroles for dessert?
All of which has made us quite peckish. We’re off for some nachos in the local Odeon…

Sometimes, you bite into a morsel so delicately delicious, you know you’ll be thinking about it for at least three months after. And sometimes, you take a sip and know the drink will be on your mind every time you order a rather less mind-blowing iteration of the same cocktail. Both of these instances happened…
Eating at an underwater restaurant may sound like something straight out of a James Bond movie, but that’s exactly what’s on the menu at the Anantara Kihavah Maldives villa complex.
