6 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Island Dining Zaya Nurai is all about peaceful relaxation, but part of any truly relaxing holiday is enjoying a meal out with friends or family. Whether you fancy a gourmet dinner, a casual afternoon snack or a refreshing beverage as you watch the sun go down, the island offers five fantastic options to suit every mood and lifestyle. And what’s wonderful is that the dress code at each ranges from come as you are to smart casual, so don’t worry about packing too much finery when you plan your visit. At Nurai, you can stay in beach mode all day long. Frangipani offers a rustic-chic vibe and an elegantly simple menu, featuring artisanal and organic items. The Ginger Mermaid serves up inventive, thirst-quenching concoctions and such tempting bar food as sliders and fish and chips. Enjoy sunset drinks and exquisite nibbles at Dusk, in intimate and laid-back surroundings. Or check out The Book Cellar, the go-to destination for games, relaxed conversation or quiet reflection over a plate of charcuterie and artisanal cheeses. And if you don’t want to stray too far from your beach chair, call The Hamper for premium supplies delivered to wherever you are.
