At the Arabian Grill our chefs take you on a culinary trip to North Africa. A sensuous feast for the palate, for the nose and even for the ears, when the sound of the fresh meat sizzling on the table mixes with the lapping of the waves. Maghreb spices such as cardamom, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon and turmeric unfold an all-round feeling of wellbeing – for example in a tajine or delicious mezze dishes containing fish, meat and vegetables – and perhaps the best Hummus outside Tunisia and Morocco.

Hanifaru Bay is a marine protected, uninhabited area that is located in the core area of the Biosphere Reserve in Baa Atoll, which has long been famous for being one of the best spots for underwater photographers and diving enthusiasts and has become one of the world’s largest manta ray feeding destinations from May until November.

Especially during the west monsoon season from May until November, large concentration of plankton gets trapped in the funnel like lagoon, as it washes over the corals and just sits on the surface. When that happens, it attracts large groups of manta rays and over the years, Hanifaru Bay has become one of the world’s largest manta ray feeding destinations.
