If you prefer to dine in unusual places rather than just inside a restaurant, you want to put these destination dining hotspots on your bucket list.
Ursprünglich bezeichnete man als “Destination Restaurants” jene Pilgerstätten der Kulinarik, an die Menschen aus aller Welt anreisten. Also hervorragende Restaurants, die worth a trip are. Today, the term is also increasingly used for dining spots within a resort that are located outside the actual restaurant. Either way: Destination Dining promises special culinary moments.

Im wunderschönen Baa-Atoll gelegen, haben die Gäste die Wahl aus elf verschiedenen Dining Spots. Fürs “Flying Sauces” sollte man ein bisschen Schwindelfreiheit mitbringen. Denn hier speist man 12 Meter über dem Boden. Um zum Tisch zu gelangen, muss man zudem mit der Zipline durch den Dschungel. Im “Fresh in the Garden” hingegen speist man über dem Kräutergärten des Resorts schwebend. Chef Manu Buffara, Latein Amerikas “Best Feale Chef” serviert in diesem pop-up ein Jahr lang ihre wundervollen Kreationen.
