About Island Barbecue

Island Barbeque sits next to the main infinity pool, steps from the beach, and serves dinner from 7 pm to 10.30 pm. Flame-grilled cooking is paired with sommelier-curated wines under the night sky.

The signature is tableside flambe: chefs present cuts such as Tomahawk, Porterhouse or Black Angus tenderloin and flambe them in front of guests, and the show carries on with seafood and desserts.

In the resort’s words

The gentle flicker of flame, the soft glow of the infinity pool and a canopy of stars overhead — Island Barbecue is a celebration of land and sea, where bold flavours are grilled over open fire in the open air.

Part of the dining roster at Kuramathi, Rasdhoo Atoll, this grill / bbq restaurant runs a à la carte format · grill setting.
