About Turquoise
Turquoise is a relaxed beachside restaurant open from 12 noon to 10 pm, serving international food described as a blend of Mediterranean, Asian and western cuisines. The page calls it a great spot to watch island life, with the lagoon stretched out in front, shade through the palms by day and a soft glow and starlight by night.
The menu leans on fresh seafood, bright salads, grilled favourites and comforting classics. To drink there are tropical cocktails, crisp wines, juices and chilled beers. The dress code is island ease, and the restaurant is presented as a go-to for leisurely late lunches and laid back dinners.
Turquoise is a relaxed beachfront restaurant where dining feels easy — barefoot on warm sand, sea breeze drifting across the table and the lagoon stretched out in front of you, days leaning naturally into evenings.
Part of the dining roster at Niva Velassaru, South Malé Atoll, this international restaurant runs a à la carte format · beachfront setting.
