Through the seven-course culinary presentation, the chefs highlighted the country’s farming, fishing and island traditions, with each dish sharing a story connected to Maldivian ingredients and heritage.

Following dinner, the celebration continued with music and dancing, reflecting the resort’s d2 identity and bringing the “WE ARE 1” theme to life.
