Experiences
Roots & Waves by Chef Sebastian Frank
10–15 May 2026
This May, we are delighted to welcome celebrated two-Michelin-star chef Sebastian Frank for an exclusive, limited-time culinary residency, where nature, simplicity, and flavour at its purest take centre stage.
Renowned for his emancipated vegetable cuisine at Berlin’s acclaimed fine-dining restaurant Horváth, Chef Sebastian redefines fine dining by placing the depth, power, and aroma of vegetables and fruits at the heart of every creation. Under the theme Roots & Waves, his menu creations at Nova weave together local Maldivian ingredients and regional produce, transformed through time-honoured techniques, precision, and thoughtful restraint.
Across a select series of intimate encounters, guests are invited to experience Chef Sebastian’s philosophy firsthand: two exceptional gourmet dinners at Flames on 10 and 15 May 2026, and a hands-on plant-based cooking class at Soul Kitchen on 12 May 2026.
Plan your stay this May and immerse yourself in Roots & Waves, a fleeting culinary journey shaped by the rhythms of the island.
