Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa will host Japanese chef Kanji Kobayashi, the proprietor of Villa Aida, for two exclusive dining events this November. Scheduled for the 10th and 14th of the month, these intimate evenings will feature a six-course menu designed to highlight the chef’s philosophy of seasonal produce and refined Japanese technique. Located on the secluded Dhonakulhi Island in the Haa Alifu Atoll, the resort provides a tranquil setting for this showcase of culinary craftsmanship.

The curated menu aims to balance traditional Japanese flavors with contemporary presentation, focusing on the natural character of each ingredient. By bringing acclaimed international talent to its private island, the resort continues its focus on offering elevated gastronomic experiences for its guests. Given the limited capacity for these sessions, early booking is advised for those wishing to attend this collaboration between the chef and the remote Maldivian retreat.
