A New Era of Luxury Dining in the Maldives
One&Only Reethi Rah unveils Tapasake, an exquisite overwater dining destination that seamlessly blends Japanese culinary artistry with Mediterranean influences. Designed to elevate the luxury dining scene in the Maldives, Tapasake offers a refined yet vibrant experience, inviting guests to indulge in a curated menu of sushi, teppanyaki, Mediterranean seafood, and handcrafted cocktails.
With breathtaking ocean views and an architectural masterpiece by Jean-Michel Gathy, Tapasake promises an unforgettable gastronomic journey for travelers seeking the best fine dining experiences in the Maldives.
An Architectural Masterpiece Suspended Over the Indian Ocean
Spanning 3,665m², Tapasake is the largest overwater dining complex in the Maldives, designed to immerse guests in a world of refined elegance and sensory exploration.
The venue features glass-bottomed floors revealing a mesmerizing underwater world, a towering see-through wine cellar with a world-class selection of wines and sake, and interiors that blend Japanese minimalism with Mediterranean vibrance.
Monochrome elements, natural wood, and splashes of bold colors reflect the spirit of both cultures, while the Grand Terrace provides the perfect setting for a sunset cocktail experience, where tropical flavors mirror the fiery hues of the Maldivian skyline.
A Culinary Experience Like No Other
Tapasake takes its name from Spanish “tapas” and Japanese “sake,” embodying the art of sharing and exquisite craftsmanship.
The menu is designed to transport guests on a multisensory journey, offering premium sushi and teppanyaki, including Wagyu beef, otoro (bluefin tuna belly), uni (sea urchin), and tai (sea bream), sourced from Japan’s top culinary provinces.
Fresh Maldivian seafood is transformed into dishes inspired by Tokyo-style ramen, gyoza, and Spanish tapas, creating a fusion-forward dining experience.
The Sombra Lounge offers an exclusive selection of rare whiskey cocktails and hand-rolled cigars, while limited-edition sake, crafted in collaboration with Yumegokoro Sake Brewery, provides a refined accompaniment to any celebration.
An Exclusive Atmosphere, Elevated After Dark
As night falls, Tapasake transforms into a vibrant social hub, with DJ performances and live music setting the scene for an elevated Maldivian nightlife experience.
For those seeking privacy, three exclusive dining spaces offer a uniquely immersive ambiance.
Yuugen, meaning “The Beauty of the Universe,” features a glass-floored dining area overlooking the marine world below. Tenkei, or “Heavenly Scene,” provides unparalleled sunset views, while Mesa Secreta, translating to “Secret Table,” offers an intimate setting for private celebrations.
Beyond Dining: Exclusive Experiences Await
Tapasake extends beyond a restaurant—it’s a hub for immersive experiences. Guests can enjoy sake tasting sessions, mixology masterclasses, and traditional tea ceremonies, each crafted to enhance their appreciation of Japanese culture and craftsmanship.
“Tapasake is a game-changer for luxury dining in the Maldives. Its unique food-sharing concept, combined with a breathtaking setting, positions it as the region’s most exclusive overwater gastronomic destination,” says Jan B. Tibaldi, General Manager, One&Only Reethi Rah.
