Elevate Your Senses: Milaidhoo Maldives Introduces Garden To Glass Cocktails with the Launch of Chef’s Garden
At Milaidhoo Maldives, mixology reaches new heights with the freshest ingredients sourced directly from the newly unveiled Chef’s Garden. The private island resort’s mixologists now have direct access to a variety of locally grown herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables, allowing them to handpick the finest selections for garnishing and crafting cocktails. This ensures that every drink served is infused with vibrant flavours and unmatched freshness, enhancing the overall guest experience.
Embracing The Garden To Glass Concept
To celebrate the launch of the Chef’s Garden, Milaidhoo presents the Garden Elixir, an exclusive cocktail crafted by Milaidhoo’s talented mixologists. Featuring the renowned Botanist Gin, known for its complex blend of herbs and spices, the Garden Elixir is elevated with freshly picked herbs from the Chef’s Garden. This unique concoction embodies the essence of the Maldives, offering a refreshing and aromatic taste that is truly one-of-a-kind.
A Culinary and Mixology Haven
The Chef’s Garden is more than just a source of fresh ingredients; it’s a vibrant experience for guests. Milaidhoo’s guests are invited to explore the garden, discover the local vegetations and learn about their culinary and mixological benefits. The serene setting is perfect for cooking and mixology classes with the resident chefs and mixologists or private dining under the stars, making it a versatile and enchanting addition to the varied dining outlets on Milaidhoo.
A Chef’s Pride in Sustainability
Executive Chef of Milaidhoo, Ken Gundu, the visionary behind the Chef’s Garden, emphasises the significance of cultivating local vegetables in the Maldives. “In an island setting like ours, it is crucial to grow our own produce to ensure freshness and offer our guests a sustainable and healthier dining and drinking experience. The Chef’s Garden allows us to provide our guests with the highest quality ingredients, straight from the garden to their plates and glasses. I am incredibly proud that our kitchen team and our bar can both enjoy and showcase this freshness.”
Sustainability at Its Core
Milaidhoo is committed to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. By cultivating its own produce, the Chef’s Garden helps subsidise the island’s daily food requirements and minimises the need for imported goods. This eco-friendly practice not only supports the environment but also ensures that guests enjoy the most natural ingredients possible.
A Showcase of Inner Beauty
Milaidhoo is renowned for its pristine marine beauty in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, but the island’s inner beauty shines just as brightly with initiatives like the Chef’s Garden. This project underscores Milaidhoo’s dedication to sustainable practices and its deep connection to the natural environment. By integrating local agriculture into its operations, Milaidhoo continues to lead by example in promoting eco-friendly tourism and culinary excellence.
