Maldives resort Soneva Fushi showcases fine dining with ziplining
Luxury Maldives resort Soneva Fushi has unveiled a first of its kind dining experience high among the treetops.
Called Flying Sauces, it says it is the world’s first fine dining zipline experience.
Destined to be a bucket list experience, Flying Sauces combines fine gastronomy with the excitement of ziplining .
"We are passionate about elevating the guest experience to something that is unique and rare, and our new Flying Sauces does just that – creating an experiential dining moment for our guests," said Sonu Shivdasani, CEO and co-founder, Soneva.
"This new experience gives our guests a new perspective of our unique island eco-system, allowing them to reconnect with the sights and sounds of nature while enjoying fine dining ."
After being securely strapped into safety harnesses, diners soar along a 200-metre zipline route to reach an elevated dining platform, enjoying an amuse bouche, refreshing shooters and other gastronomic surprises along the way.
Once they arrive, Chef Rasal prepares a seasonal menu in the open kitchen, high above the ground, paired with a selection of over 9,000 fine wines from Soneva Fushi’s cellar.
The Flying Sauces zipline route takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, with each additional dining experience lasting around one hour for breakfast and high tea, and between two and three hours for dinner.
The zipline experience is suitable for adults and children aged eight and above, with a minimum weight requirement of 25 kilos.
Up to 12 guests can join each Flying Sauces experience, divided into two groups of six diners, and only one guest is permitted to use the zipline at any time.
To ensure safety at all times, harnesses are compulsory along all sections of the zipline route and must be fitted and verified by a trained Soneva Host.
