Milaidhoo Maldives will host award-winning chef James Knight-Paccheco for two specialized culinary engagements on December 11 and 12, 2026. Known for his extensive background in Michelin-starred establishments and his popular podcast, the chef will lead an interactive cooking workshop on the first day. This session offers guests the opportunity to refine their technical skills and exchange culinary concepts directly with the professional.

The residency concludes on December 12 with a curated wine-pairing dinner, where Knight-Paccheco will present a bespoke menu designed to harmonize with selections from the resort’s resident sommelier. These events take place within the tranquil environment of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where the resort’s three restaurants emphasize a blend of traditional Maldivian flavors and global influences. The initiative aims to foster a collaborative atmosphere, allowing visitors to engage personally with the chef while enjoying the island’s signature approach to relaxed, high-end dining.
