Hadaba

Hadaba takes its name from a vibrant Egyptian neighborhood, and its soul from the rich culinary heritage of the Levant—spanning the Gulf of Arabia to the Mediterranean coast. Perched at the coastal tip of the island, this two-story restaurant offers a dramatic setting with sculptural architecture, a central spiral staircase, and sweeping views of the Indian Ocean.

The menu is a celebration of Middle Eastern flavors, featuring:

Guests gather to break bread, sip curated wines or creative cocktails, and trade stories in a space that feels both intimate and theatrical. Whether you're dining under the stars or enjoying mezze with friends, Hadaba is a place where flavor, culture, and connection come alive.

• Dinner: 6:30 PM-10:30 PM

The Citronelle Club

The Citronelle Club is SO/ Maldives’ vibrant all-day dining venue, blending Pan-Asian flavors with French Riviera elegance in a beachfront setting that feels both Zen-like and theatrical. Moving away from traditional buffets, the restaurant features a central cooking suite where chefs prepare made-to-order dishes using premium ingredients, creating a dynamic, open-kitchen experience.

The design is warm and expressive—think terracotta tones, polished brass, rattan textures, and a private dining room with a terrarium wall for intimate gatherings or chef-led masterclasses.

Signature dishes include:

• Blackened cod,

• Sweet & sour lamb ribs,

• Dim sum selections,

• Rocket summer rolls,

• Spicy soups and wok-tossed vegetables served fresh from the fire.

Drinks are crafted with ingredients borrowed from the kitchen—herbaceous cocktails, fruit-forward mocktails, and crisp wines designed to complement the bold, spicy flavors.

  Lunch: 12pm – 3pm

  Dinner: 6.30pm – 10.30pm

Pavilion Bar

Pavilion Bar is the stylish soul of SO/ Maldives’ beachfront scene—a place where Levantine flavors, Mediterranean charm, and tropical indulgence come together in a symphony of taste and atmosphere. Open from 8 AM to 11 PM, it’s your all-day destination for champagne breakfasts, sunset spritzes, and late-night mixology theatre.

The drinks menu leans into Middle Eastern spices, tropical fruits, and old-world wines, with a curated list of French rosés, champagnes by the glass, and signature cocktails crafted tableside from a roaming cocktail cart. Think:

• Kalahari – chili vodka, watermelon, lime

• Spiced mojitos with fresh herbs

• Citrus-forward negronis kissed by island zest

• Everyday 08:00 AM-11:00 PM
