Gastronomía
Everything is Fresh
Chef Ulrich works alongside his team of Sous Chefs from Mafia Island to delight guests with their menus. Everything is fresh, from herbs freshly picked from the Island herb garden to papayas, coconuts, watermelons and pineapples. They make their own coconut milk for the curries, and they hand-make the ice cream, sorbet, yogurt and muesli.
Fish and Seafood Paradise
If you enjoy fish and seafood, this is paradise and Chef Melissa is a fish and seafood master: the menu includes fish cooked to perfection, fish carpaccio, sashimi, sushi, prawn curries, lobsters freshly caught off Mafia Island, mangrove crabs, tuna, red snappers and a choice of other sea-fresh fish, daily caught by you or our team, as well as seasonal oysters freshly-picked from Thanda Island.
Sea-fresh Oysters and Champagne
Join the master oyster pickers on an oyster hunt as they remove them from the rocks and open them for you to enjoy right there, with a glass of the finest champagne. Oysters have never tasted this good.
Thanda Island Pizza
Pizza-making on Thanda Island is part of the entertainment. Everyone gets involved, joining Chef Melissa and General Manager Oscar Bertozzi at the alfresco dining area, where there is a traditional Italian pizza oven that Oscar hand-built. Here you can help to make the pizzas with a choice of delicious ingredients, including flour from Italy, delicious cheeses, original prosciutto di parma, cured hams and meats, artichokes, fresh tomatoes and fresh herbs from the island herb garden.
