Celebrating the spirit of modern Maldivian hospitality, VARU by Atmosphere has expanded its culinary landscape with the launch of two exceptional overwater dining venues – Teppanyaki Over Water and Cellar at NÜ. A favourite among Indian travellers and couples seeking a blend of romance, relaxation, and refined gastronomy, VARU by Atmosphere continues to evolve its offerings while staying true to its “Naturally Maldivian” essence.

The new additions further enhance the resort’s reputation for immersive dining experiences, already highlighted by its signature restaurant, Kaagé, which won the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2025 for the fifth consecutive year.

“At VARU, our cuisine, design, and service are intuitive and thoughtfully curated. With Teppanyaki Over Water and Cellar at NÜ, we have created dining journeys that are both enriching and true to the island’s generous spirit – giving our guests new reasons to return, season after season,” said Maurice Van Den Bosch, General Manager, VARU by Atmosphere. “

At Teppanyaki Over Water, the vibrant spirit of Japanese cuisine unfolds through the artistry of Teppan grilling. Join us for a lively dining journey over the lagoon, where our chefs expertly prepare premium seafood, A5 Wagyu, and delicious sushi. Enhanced by sake cocktails and the open-air, lantern-lit setting, every seating captures the essence of Japanese hospitality with a Maldivian touch.

As the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, Cellar at NÜ invites guests into an elegant overwater wine degustation lounge, perfect for intimate evenings. The experience celebrates the craft of pairing through rare vintages and bold New World selections, complemented by artisanal chocolate, cheese, and charcuterie platters. The highlight – a six-course Royal Wine Pairing Dinner – transforms each evening into a refined celebration of flavour and finesse.

Located in the North Malé Atoll, VARU by Atmosphere continues to earn global recognition, ranking among the top 1% of listings worldwide in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best 2025. With these new dining additions, the resort invites guests to discover elevated culinary experiences that blend sophistication, creativity, and island soul.
