Dining: 6 out of 10 medium confidence, checked 2 Nov 2026
Official factsheet: 'Over 20 dining and drinking venues for all tastes', a 'Dine Around The World Dinner: Choose between our 6 specialty restaurants and buffet' with Thai, Spanish, Italian, Maldivian, Indian and Japanese venues, and 'Barrique Private dining in a wine cellar'; the destination page lists four meal plans. Breadth, cuisines, formats and plan choice are documented, but no independent quality evidence is held, so breadth tops out at 6.

No total yet: the room price has not been checked. An incomplete estimate is never a total.
Each line comes from a source we looked at: the resort's own booking system or website, or the Maldives tax rules. Not included means unknown, not free. Meals beyond the rate, drinks, excursions and flights are never guessed. Live prices are confirmed by the booking partner, never invented by us.
Choose Siyam World if it fits. Skip it if the catch matters more.
