Spoil Yourself with a Floating Breakfast at Jumeirah Maldives

Treat Yourself to the Unique Floating Breakfast in a Private Pool

Stay Different is the motto of the Jumeirah Hotel Group, and their resort exemplifies this brilliantly! Starting with the one-of-a-kind meal option.

If you wake up in your villa wanting to swim in the pool and are in the mood for something unusual, treat yourself to the fantastic floating breakfast. If you need to become more familiar with the term, it is your typical fancy hotel room service breakfast (think toast, fruit, coffee, and the like) served in a pool or hot tub rather than in bed. It is usually served on huge platters or colorful baskets, then adorned with vibrant tropical flowers to make them even more beautiful. 

The floating breakfast offered in the resort is typical “mas huni.” It is a Maldivian term for fish and coconut. This dish is shredded smoked tuna blended with grated coconut, onion, and lemon, served with chapati. You can also choose from fish soup, coconut fish curry, and root vegetables such as cassava, fried yam, and sweet potatoes, for dessert, guava, hot pink dragonfruit, or any available fruits. Also, since we are talking uniqueness, try to look for a spicy white berry known as noni or ahivah. A unique break, indeed!

Rest and Enjoy Other Tempting Dining Options

Aside from Floating Breakfast, the Jumeirah Maldives has three tempting restaurants that you can choose from, none of which are "major restaurants" like those found at other resorts. Each of the three restaurants has a separate specialty menu, and we were blown away by the culinary quality!

1. The Water Dining – Glow and Kayto Restaurant

   Glow is a fantastic waterfront restaurant with a Mediterranean flavor and an international, well-curated cuisine! It serves both lunch and supper. It links with the adjoining Kayto restaurant for breakfast. There is a modest breakfast buffet with cold meals, fresh pastries, fruits, and so on, but the bulk of items may be purchased à la carte. Breakfast staples, as well as more offbeat meals, are available. There will undoubtedly be something for everyone.

    

   Kayto, which launched in the fall of 2022, is my favorite restaurant in Jumeirah. The idea combines Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. It may appear unusual at first, but it works perfectly. Both meat eaters and vegetarians will enjoy it here since the quality and flavor of the meals are excellent, and the menu is wide! Moreover, Kayto is a famous restaurant concept that is already present in other Jumeirah resorts in Dubai.

    

2.  Beach and Pool Front Dining

   Shimmers is a cozy restaurant with a bar and lounge near the beach and pool open from mid-morning till supper. I enjoyed the authentic pizza oven as well as the unique drink menu! Ideal for a beach snack or beverages during the day.

    

   Shimmers is now being enlarged to include a "Shimmers at the Beach" (as of November 2022). This will be another seaside restaurant with a trendy and laid-back vibe.

    

3.  At the Lobby Dining

   A coffee shop with latte art workshops is located just above the lobby for all coffee and tea aficionados. The Café Lounge, on the other hand, was a highlight for a different reason: it boasts a roof terrace with a stunning view of the island as well as a little harbor. This little beach appears unnoticeable from the ground, but from above, it makes an excellent photo motif! So be sure to have a look.

Reconnecting while Disconnecting: Other Weekend Leisure You Can Enjoy at Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island

This resort is perfect for the discerning traveler who appreciates originality and loves to live the high life amid get-away-from-it-all seclusion, a process of reconnecting while disconnecting.

• Unwinding Aquatic Sports

  Kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are extremely exciting for aquatic activities! A payment of roughly USD 25 is required for the photogenic glass kayaks. Other water activities, such as jet skis, can be reserved for a fee.

   

• A Therapy of Solitude - Glassed-in Treatment 

  The Jumeriah Maldives Talise Spa is styled like a contemporary water villa. It sits fully above the sea, with glassed-in treatment rooms offering a stunning view of the turquoise lagoon. During a treatment, you will feel quite near to the water. Right underneath the massage tables is a little glass through which the fish may be seen throughout the therapy.

   

• Chilling Night Out

  After one-of-a-kind dining, unwinding aquatic sports, to enjoying the Talise Spa, end your day with a chilling night out. It is a way of spoiling yourself!

When the sun goes down, you may relax at the ocean-view rooftop bar, enjoy a movie on the big-screen theater, or inquire with your butler about private projector screenings from your rooftop.

There are several activities available both on and off the lake. If you have children, they will enjoy the kids' club and its oceanfront splash park, while adults may participate in a yoga session or visit the 24-hour fitness center.

You Deserve a Break!

The ultimate Maldives escaped with a contemporary twist! The Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali is located on one of the Maldives' most stunning islands, with beaches that appear to be painted.
