The SEA Underwater Restaurant is located at the Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas in the Maldives, specifically within the Baa Atoll. Situated approximately 20 feet below the surface, it offers 360-degree views of the coral reef and is known for its extensive underwater wine cellar. The question is who wants to take me on a vacation to the Maldives, so we can eat here? Let's find out a little bit more about the restaurant.
The restaurant at Anantara Kihavah is an extraordinary, glass-encased dining venue located roughly 20 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean in the Baa Atoll. Offering an unforgettable and intimate experience, the restaurant is built on the edge of a deep natural reef drop-off, giving diners a front-row seat to an incredible array of marine life, including turtles, parrotfish, rays, and even sharks. With only a handful of tables arranged in an octagonal space, the design seamlessly blends the dining room with the surrounding reef, making it an incredibly immersive and romantic spot for any meal.
World-Class Wine Cellar: The venue features the world's first underwater wine cellar. It boasts a collection of over 450 labels—including rare vintages from Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Napa—with pairings guided by a resident Wine Guru.
Premium Cuisine: The menu focuses on Mediterranean and contemporary European fine dining, and it proudly touts itself as the Maldives' first specialty caviar restaurant. Standout dishes include Australian Wagyu sirloin, Maldivian stone lobster medallions, and caviar-accented scallop tartare.
Immersive Design: The acrylic windows are intentionally set lower than the dining tables to extend past your peripheral vision, creating a seamless illusion that you are truly a part of the vibrant coral reef.
Varying Atmosphere: The ambiance shifts dramatically depending on the time of day. Morning and lunch services showcase bright, colorful reef fish darting around, while nighttime dining offers a mysterious, moonlit vibe where larger nocturnal sea life comes out to play.
This sounds like an amazing experience. Not only are you in a beautiful island area, but then you get a cool restaurant experience while you are there. Sun, the ocean, great food? Sign me up. So, I will ask one more time. Who is taking me?
