Male’, Maldives – 3rd March 2026 – Atmosphere Core has long redefined luxury in the Maldives, blending intuitive service with a deep respect for nature, culture, and community. Through its curated brands—THE OZEN COLLECTION, Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts, COLOURS OF OBLU, and ONE Atmosphere—the group creates experiences that connect guests meaningfully to the islands and their people. This May 2026, Atmosphere Core brings this philosophy to extraordinary new depths with an exclusive underwater culinary journey.
Double MICHELIN-starred Italian chef Giorgio Servetto will bring his celebrated Garden-to-Sea Immersion concept to two of the Maldives’ most iconic underwater restaurants. From 7 to 9 May, he will helm Only BLU at OBLU SELECT Lobigili, an adults-only sanctuary just minutes from Velana International Airport. True to its name, ‘Loabi Gili’—love island—offers seclusion and romance. Guests will be immersed in cobalt-blue hues, with coral gardens and drifting marine life creating a living backdrop for every dish.
From 12 to 14 May, Chef Servetto continues at M6m (Minus Six Metres) at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO. Six metres below the surface, this intimate, limited-seat restaurant offers panoramic ocean vistas where the rhythm of the sea guides the meal. A signature Crab Dinner Experience at Hudhu Bay further showcases the chef’s inventive interpretations of the Indian Ocean’s freshest seafood.
Each venue will feature a five-course tasting menu, developed in collaboration with Atmosphere Core’s culinary team. Hydroponic greens grown on Maadhoo Island, fresh produce from local farms, and sustainably harvested seafood converge in dishes that are refined, purposeful, and deeply connected to nature. Chef Servetto’s philosophy of circular gastronomy and zero-waste precision ensures that sustainability is integral to the experience, expressed elegantly on every plate.
Hailing from Liguria, Italy, Chef Servetto is celebrated for his disciplined yet curious approach to cuisine. He is the only chef in his region to hold both a MICHELIN Red Star and a MICHELIN Green Star, and uniquely, Red Stars at two separate restaurants. A passionate wine enthusiast and lifelong researcher, he distills complexity into clarity. “The Maldives is a place where the ocean and land speak to you,” he says. “Dining beneath the waves makes every flavour and every moment feel profoundly connected to nature.”
OBLU SELECT Lobigili and OZEN LIFE MAADHOO offer effortless access yet feel worlds apart from the ordinary. Beneath the waves, surrounded by coral gardens and marine life, dining becomes immersive, contemplative, and unforgettable. This collaboration is more than a visiting chef showcase—it is a defining moment in contemporary gastronomy, where creativity, sustainability, and a sense of place converge. Spaces are limited, and for those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime journey beneath the Indian Ocean, reservations are open now—secure your underwater culinary adventure today.
