Dining
Six Senses Kanuhura has seven distinct outlets across its three islands, from all-day international dining to a castaway lunch. Bed & Breakfast includes breakfast at The Market; Half Board and Full Board extend the programme across dinner and, on Full Board, lunch, with supplements for some speciality venues confirmed at booking.
The Market
The all-day, feet-in-the-sand anchor for the island. Breakfast brings fresh fruit, healthy juices, classics and pancakes; dinner offers international buffets with themed nights. Breakfast is included on Bed & Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board, with dinner forming part of Half Board and Full Board.
Bottega Restaurant
Bottega gives classic Italian recipes a contemporary island setting, centred on a wood-fired pizza oven. Expect sourdough pizza, sharing plates, salads and pasta made with herbs from the organic garden, paired with Mediterranean wines and aperitivos.
Sip and Sand
On Jehunuhura, Drift is Kanuhura’s castaway restaurant. Reef fish are grilled over a fire with organic-garden herbs, alongside salads, light curries and seafood; the barefoot island setting makes lunch feel genuinely remote.
Drift Restaurant
Sip & Sand moves from charcoal-grilled daytime lunches to a Japanese-fusion dinner menu. Its relaxed beachfront setting is made for an easy midday meal, a sundowner or a more adventurous evening plate.
The Point
At the island’s northern tip, The Point serves Spanish tapas from a counter with a sunset-facing outlook. It is a sociable place for small plates, drinks and the changing colours over the lagoon.
Scoops Ice Cream and Juice Bar
Scoops is the informal stop for house-made ice creams, fresh juices and cooling treats between beach time and the next swim. It is especially useful for families and anyone wanting something quick and refreshing.
Sunset Point
Sunset Point adds a rooftop cocktail hour with an in-house DJ, giving the resort a livelier evening option. Come for drinks and music as the sky changes over the Indian Ocean.
Castaway picnic at Masleggihuraa
Guests can escape to a neighbouring island for a castaway picnic at Masleggihuraa. A private-day setting, picnic lunch and bottle of wine turn the resort’s three-island layout into a memorable dining experience.
Destination Dining
Destination Dining allows the team to arrange a more personal setting around the island, from a private beach table to a special celebration. It is a good way to make the most of Kanuhura’s beaches and three-island privacy.
In Villa Dining
In-villa dining brings breakfast, drinks or a relaxed private meal to your own deck. It is a useful option after a seaplane arrival, for families with younger children or for a quiet evening beside the pool.
