The Maldives has always been a dream destination for me — turquoise waters, white sands, and now, an incredible surprise for vegetarians like myself. During my travels, I’ve discovered that Maldivian resorts are taking vegetarian dining to the next level.
At Atmosphere Kanifushi, Just Veg stands out as the Maldives’ first pure vegetarian restaurant, offering flavourful Indian, Mediterranean, and Arabic dishes.
Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives impressed me with its variety of vegetarian options at 24 Degrees, while *Reethi Faru Resort’s Veggie & Vegan restaurant blew me away with creative plates like beetroot sushi and lentil-bolognese pasta.
Many resorts now grow their own produce and design menus that cater beautifully to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests. From tropical fruit breakfasts to coconut-rich Maldivian curries, dining here feels fresh, vibrant, and mindful.
For me, the Maldives isn’t just paradise — it’s a vegetarian paradise.
