Shangri-La's Villingili resort has several restaurants and Fashala is one of their best. It is an open-air dining, as many restaurants on Maldives tend to be but this is a more exclusive and intimate restaurant. The views of the ocean, or shall I say lagoon,...are fantastic in the evening. This restaurant serves dinner only hence the evening lagoon views. The chef is supposed to procure local produce from the surrounding waters and neighbouring farms but we could not say any more. The cuisine combines coconuts, herbs, chilies and locally sourced fish to make a memorable meal. Although fish and seafood is their specialty they do have other meat dishes and given enough notice they can make vegetarian dishes as well.More
