Finolhu’s dining is as vibrant as the island itself.

Beach Kitchen is the heart of the culinary scene, serving global cuisine with themed evenings that rotate through world flavours. Kanusan, an award-winning overwater Japanese restaurant, offers stunning omakase menus and sushi counter experiences with sweeping ocean views.

At Arabian Grill, spices and aromas of the Middle East come alive in a relaxed beachside setting, while the iconic Crab Shack—accessible by sandbank stroll or Dhoni ride—is perfect for a barefoot seafood feast at sunset. The Beach Club brings the party with crafted cocktails and DJ beats, and Milk LAB serves smoothies, frozen treats, and light bites for a daytime recharge.

For special occasions, indulge in a private sandbank picnic, a floating breakfast, or a starlit dinner in the unique Beach Bubble.
