Dining

Dining at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma

At Kandooma Café, greet the new day in the "Big Barnacle" in the company of sunshine, atoll waves and Radio Kandooma's breakfast show. Tell the attendant chefs how you'd like your eggs to go with your international breakfast, complete with fresh orange juice, fresh ground coffee and loose leaf teas. At The Lounge order up a cup of coffee or tea and settle back and listen to the diving stories told by the divers who hang out here. Enjoy a little bit of the "city-by-the-beach" at Bokkuraa Coffee Club. Choose from a daily changing rotation of fresh pastries and homemade ice creams to go with boutique coffees and teas freshly brewed to order. Steaks, pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and your favourite poolside beverages make a compelling case for lounging the day away in the sun. It's all happen at Poolside Bar. Atop the Kitchen is the Deck, probably the best place in Kandooma to catch the sunset. Enjoy an aperitif or after-dinner cocktails mixed to perfection by the resident mixologist. After sundown, Moroccan lanterns take over to complement the stars in the night sky. An exquisitely elegant dining experience with the best view on the island, The Kitchen offers diners a sublime Mediterranean-Thai menu out on the beach with feet in sand, in upholstered comfort overlooking the Kandooma Channel.
