All inclusive - All Dine - Ansagna Velavaru

– but do be aware that there are several different packages.

With the All Dine package, if you stay in a beach villa, you have access to the island’s buffet restaurant, Kaani Restaurant, for all three meals, as well as the lunch and evening à la carte menu at the island’s “pool bar”, Kuredhi Pool Bar.

I would hesitate to call it a pool bar, actually, because it was so much more than that.

The menu was large and varied, with really lovely vegetarian dishes, and the food simply tasted so good. All drinks were included, and there was a wonderful children’s menu too. It was far more than we had dared hope for.

If you stay in a water villa, All Dine gives you access to Kaani Restaurant, Kuredhi Pool Bar and the restaurant by the water villas – Azzurro Restaurant and Bar – which you would otherwise have to pay to dine at if you are staying in a beach villa.

Azzurro Restaurant and Bar had a fantastic menu as well. Plenty of delicious dishes, with everything from steak, burgers and pasta to fish and vegetarian options.

The island has one more restaurant, Restaurant Funa. It sits at the end of a small jetty, reached from the beach. There you get 20% off the menu, excluding drinks.

The food here was really lovely too, an Asian menu – and in the most beautiful setting. We had a wonderful table looking straight down into the sea, where we also saw plenty of sharks and other large fish.

This is also the place to enjoy a sundowner – they had a “buy one get one” offer on the drinks menu.

Of all the restaurants I would honestly say they were superb – a cosy atmosphere, lovely surroundings and really delicious food.

Their vegetarian menu was also genuinely good – there were plenty of options, and the same goes for their fish dishes.

The breakfast buffet at Kaani Restaurant was a little dull and samey – out by the water villas, for instance, it was completely different.

But overall I would say the standard of the food was very high – it was really delicious
