KINĀN BEACH CLUB, FULIDHOO

Café Lagoon

Fresh cuisine and warm Maldivian hospitality, steps from the turquoise water.

The Setting

A table on the sand

Café Lagoon is Kinān's relaxed beachfront dining destination, the easy answer to every mealtime on Fulidhoo. The kitchen serves fresh cuisine just steps from the turquoise water, and the laid-back island atmosphere comes with warm Maldivian hospitality as standard. Breakfast rolls into lunch here, and the evening brings sunset refreshments and dinner on the same stretch of sand.

At the Table

Order for the whole table

The best seats in the house are not in a house at all. Tables sit on the deck right over the water and down on the sand, and the plates are made for passing: club sandwiches, fries, fresh seafood, cold juice, everyone reaching at once.

Private Dining

A sunset of your own

For moments that deserve a table of their own, Café Lagoon sets private beachfront dinners for couples, families and groups. The team also caters for celebrations, destination weddings and special occasions, on the sand at sunset or under the stars.

The Week at the Lagoon

When the torches come out

Beach BBQ NightsBonfire EveningsLive MusicMaldivian Cultural Nights featuring BoduberuSeasonal Celebrations

As the light goes, the café changes gear. Beach BBQ nights bring freshly grilled seafood and meats off the coals, bonfires are lit on the sand, and on selected evenings there is live music under the sky. Maldivian cultural nights feature Boduberu, and the calendar keeps room for seasonal celebrations.

Weekly programme is subject to seasonal schedules and weather conditions.

And then the lights come on along the sand.
