Koimala's open-air restaurant lit for the evening, with timber ceiling, plants and an aquarium wall on Maamigili
Dining

Fish caught this morning. Coconut grated at dawn. Mas huni before the boat leaves at eight.

No buffet line, no forty-item menu. We cook what is fresh, we cook it well, and we time it around your day on the water.

“Some of the best food I have ever eaten. Ripon was an amazing cook and a lovely person who couldn't have done more for us.”Vicky · Tripadvisor

How it works

Cooked for you, not under a heat lamp

When you arrive, you tell us what you would like for your next meal and when you want to eat. The kitchen prepares it fresh. Early whale shark excursion? We get you breakfast before you leave. Back late from a sandbank trip? We keep the kitchen open.

“You'd pre-order your meal and reserve eating time. This ensured you had freshly prepared food.”Lorraine, UK · Booking.com
Meal plans

Four options, plain and simple

Half board and full board are the most popular. Unsure? Half board balances included meals with the freedom to try Maamigili's local food scene.

BB

Bed & Breakfast

Breakfast each morning; lunch and dinner are yours to explore. Maamigili has local cafés for an evening out.

FB

Full Board

Every meal at the guesthouse. Best for guests who would rather not think about where to eat next.

AI

All-Inclusive

All meals plus tea, coffee, water and soft drinks through the day. The no-thinking-required option.

The food itself

Tuna, coconut, and what the ocean gave that day

Mas huni

Shredded smoked tuna with grated coconut, lime and chilli, eaten with roshi for breakfast. The dish guests reorder every morning.

Garudhiya

A clear reef-tuna broth served with rice, lime and chilli. Comfort food on a rainy evening.

Grilled reef fish

Whole fish caught that morning, grilled over charcoal with a squeeze of lime. What the kitchen does best.

Roshi & curries

Soft flatbread torn by hand to scoop chicken, fish or vegetable curries cooked in coconut milk and Maldivian spice.

“He prepared us a local dish with tuna and coconut, so good we order that every morning, and not just for us, but for everyone staying at the hotel.”Deepak C. · Tripadvisor
