Japanese Cuisine in Maldives
Japanese cuisine has found a fresh rhythm in the Maldives. At Nova Maldives, it’s a soulful experience that feels thoughtful, refined, and deeply connected to the moment. Our teppanyaki brings people together around the sizzle and flair of the grill, turning every meal into a moment worth remembering. There’s a sense of calm in the craft, in the way the dishes are prepared and shared.
It’s Japanese dining that feels right at home in Nova. Thoughtful details, open spaces, and the gentle theatre of teppanyaki creates an atmosphere that’s as genuine as it is memorable.
A Table Above the Lagoon
Mizu is an experience shaped by water, sky, and the quiet rhythm of the island. Suspended above the lagoon, it offers uninterrupted views of turquoise by day and starlit skies by night. Inside, the space is intimate and open, with soft lighting, and the gentle sizzle of the teppan drawing you into the moment. Every detail is designed to feel effortless, creating a setting that invites you to savour and simply be.
The Art of Japanese Simplicity
Mizu is a culinary journey into the heart of Japanese flavour—pure, balanced, and deeply considered. From ocean-fresh seafood to delicate vegetarian creations, each dish reflects the artistry and simplicity of Japanese gastronomy. A selection of fine sakes, handcrafted sake cocktails, and curated wines complement the menu’s clean, layered notes. Whether for lunch or dinner, Mizu invites you to savour the essence of Japanese dining in a setting shaped by soul.
The World on Your Plate
While Mizu brings the essence of Japan to the island, the flavours at Nova continue to wander far and wide. Soul Kitchen offers a globally inspired buffet that celebrates variety and freshness throughout the day. At Flames, premium cuts and seasonal ingredients are transformed over flame into beautifully bold dishes. Sip poolside at Solis with easygoing bites, or unwind at Wink, where our mixologists serve up cocktails made with skill and soul.
A Taste to Take Home
At Nova, Japanese cuisine finds a natural rhythm deeply connected to the present moment. Whether it’s the gentle artistry of teppanyaki at Mizu or the calm that comes with a shared sake, every detail is crafted to honour tradition while embracing the now. And while the spirit of Japan anchors the experience, the island’s culinary journey continues with global flavours that speak to every soul, from every corner of the world.
