Know before you book
- The teppanyaki counter is a separate menu and needs advance booking — and it's excluded from the all-inclusive food credit, so plan for it.
- The splurges are the Wagyu (full-blood striploin $130 à la carte, MB9+ teppanyaki $138) and the miso black cod ($84).
- Physically on Veli (adults-only); Dhigu and Naladhu guests reach it on the dine-around.
- Sushi boats scale for groups — the 55-piece Katana ($295) feeds a table.
