XXXX Experience

5.8 Undersea Restaurant at Hurawalhi Maldives

5.8 Undersea Restaurant at Hurawalhi Maldives offers one of the Maldives’ most distinctive dining experiences, combining fine dining with an extraordinary location 5.8 metres beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by a glass-domed structure, diners are immersed in the marine environment, with tropical fish and other sea life forming an ever-changing backdrop to the meal.


The restaurant pairs its spectacular underwater setting with a carefully considered multi-course dining experience, making the journey beneath the ocean as much about the cuisine as the surroundings. Its intimate scale and panoramic views have helped establish 5.8 as one of the signature culinary attractions of the Maldives.


Its reputation has also been recognised by the World Culinary Awards. 5.8 Undersea Restaurant was named Maldives’ Best Culinary Experience 2023, following victories as Maldives’ Best Hotel Restaurant and Indian Ocean’s Best Hotel Restaurant in both 2021 and 2022.



For travellers seeking a dining experience that could only truly belong in the Maldives, 5.8 combines destination, atmosphere and gastronomy in memorable fashion. The experience of dining beneath the Indian Ocean makes it much more than a resort restaurant and remains one of Hurawalhi Maldives’ defining attractions.
