Milaidhoo Maldives is set to celebrate International Chefs Day 2025 with a momentous dining experience, "Around the World in Five Courses." This special one-night-only event invites guests on a culinary journey that honours the talent, passion, and creativity of the chefs who make every meal at Milaidhoo Maldives a unique experience.

The evening will begin with a guided tour of the Chef’s Garden, where guests can explore the bountiful herbs, fruits, and vegetables grown on the island. It will be an opportunity to see firsthand how Milaidhoo embraces fresh, local ingredients and the thoughtful care that goes into every dish and cocktail.

As the sun sets, guests will gather at The Shoreline Grill, the resort’s beachfront restaurant, for a five-course tasting menu that takes them around the world. From the bold spices of Thailand and India to the rich, soulful flavours of Zimbabwe, the refined elegance of Sri Lanka, and the freshest Maldivian ingredients, each dish will celebrate a different corner of the globe. The menu reflects the diversity of Milaidhoo’s kitchen, where the team of chefs hail from five different countries, each bringing unique traditions and culinary influences to the table.

This night, however, is about more than just food—it is about the people behind the dishes. Milaidhoo’s culinary team is a close-knit family, united by a shared passion for food. On International Chefs Day, they will come together to celebrate not only the cuisine but also the stories, cultures, and traditions that inspire it. Guests will have the chance to interact with the chefs throughout the evening, learning about their personal journeys and inspirations behind each course.

Cluster Executive Chef Ken Gundu from Botswana explained, “A meal is about sharing a moment together, one that lingers in our memories long after the last bite. What truly excites me is the dedication of our team—each member goes above and beyond to delight our discerning guests. Our team is dedicated to creating memorable experiences, often surprising our guests with dishes outside the menu and tailoring each meal to their preferences. We believe that no request is too much, and we strive to make every moment around the table exceptional.”

At Milaidhoo, food is considered more than just a meal—it is an opportunity to connect, both with the island and with one another. Each culinary experience is crafted with care, with every dish serving as an invitation to slow down and savour the moment. "Around the World in Five Courses" will be more than a dinner; it will be a celebration of the artistry and passion of the chefs and a chance to experience the flavours that unite people across cultures.
