As of June 2025, the Maldives welcomed over 1.1 million travellers, with 66,501 visitors from India itself, reflecting the country’s continued interest in the island destination.

For many Indian travellers, especially vegetarians and vegans, finding satisfying, gourmet, plant-based dining options remains a challenge internationally, notably at oceanfront destinations where seafood typically dominates the menu. Kuda Villingili Maldives has thoughtfully curated a new menu at Earth, one of their seven signature gourmet restaurants, which celebrates Asian cuisine through natural and organic ingredients, placing vegetarian and vegan indulgence at the forefront.

Chefs prepare each dish using fresh, seasonal ingredients that honour the essence of plant-based dining while showcasing the finesse of fine gastronomy. From the creamy richness of Charred Plant-Based Soya with truffle cream to the zesty freshness of a Super Food Salad layered with kale, wild rice, and pomegranate, and classic British comfort options like the Vegan Banger & Mash, the menu elevates plant-based cuisine into a luxurious, wellness-forward offering, ideal for mindful retreats and stress-free escapes. The Balinese Tofu & Edamame Rendang introduces a spicy Southeast Asian flair with ginger-infused brown rice. Designed to balance taste with cultural familiarity, these creations ensure that guests never have to compromise on flavour, variety, or experience.

For Indian travellers, who are increasingly open to trying new and innovative vegetarian cuisines abroad but still value familiar textures, bold spices, and thoughtful preparation, Earth’s menu reflects this shift with elevated vegetarian and vegan offerings that don’t feel like an afterthought. Whether it’s a wellness-seeking solo traveller, a couple celebrating a special occasion, or a multigenerational family with diverse preferences, Earth ensures that flavour, comfort, and creativity come together, right by the sea.
