Source: https://luxatolls.com/resorts/milaidhoo-maldives/menus/batheli/ · Last updated: 2026-10-14 · Language: en · Prices in US dollars (USD) unless stated otherwise --- Maldivian heritage & Spice Route # Ba'theli — Menu & Prices Milaidhoo Island Maldives · Over-water dhoni-shaped lounge & restaurant on the lagoon Ba'theli is Milaidhoo's signature restaurant, set across traditional dhoni boats moored over the lagoon and billed as the only Maldivian fine-dining room in the world built on a boat. The kitchen reworks the cuisine of the ancient Indian Ocean spice routes that once carried cinnamon, cardamom and clove through the islands, served as refined island-style plates. Expect a multi-course "Setting Sail" journey alongside an a la carte of Maldivian mezze, garudhiya soups, grilled reef fish and signature curries. It is heritage cooking with finesse rather than a buffet, and a sunset table here is one of the island's set-pieces.
