Guests consistently praise the resort's vegan offerings, particularly the dedicated Just Veg restaurant described as Michelin-quality with creative plant-based cuisine and a varied menu suitable for extended stays. Vegan options are available across all main restaurants (Spice, Sunset, Pier Six) with chefs noted for going above and beyond to prepare custom off-menu dishes. However, a minority of guests reported limited breakfast vegan options with repetitive daily offerings, and occasional buffet days with minimal vegan availability requiring staff assistance. TripAdvisor reviews are predominantly positive (26 positive vs. 2 negative out of 28 on-topic claims).

if you are a vegan traveller, this is the place for you. Not only do they have a Michelin Star awarded vegetarian restaurant, but the choices in every other eatery are massive and delicious.

The Spice restaurant was so accommodating to my husband's dietary needs. Chief Kundan, not only looks like a superstar, but is. He went over and beyond in looking after my husband and making meals to suit him. The food at Spice is array of cuisine and all inclusive of vegan, gluten free, eggless, etc. The choice is endless, and you don't feel that you are penalised for being vegetarian.

Just Veg, a gourmet vegetarian restaurant that's truly a haven for vegetarians and vegans. The creativity and flavors were extraordinary, and it's a must-visit for anyone with a love for plant-based cuisine.

For vegetarians, Just Veg is a revelation—an entire restaurant dedicated to plant-based cuisine. Even as die-hard meat eaters, we were blown away by the flavors and creativity of the dishes.

My wife and I are vegan, and our choices were limited, we are accustomed to that. The buffet is very well labelled, as are the menus in the various restuarants (Sunset being the only exception), and thats a massive help. Most days we had some form of rice and curry (Dahl, maldivian curry or thai curry) for lunch and dinner. Every day we had beans and potatoes for breakfast, perhaps with fruit or salad. Some days, there was almost nothing vegan available on the buffet and we had to ask for help.

I'm vegan so there were less options but everything available in the buffet restaurant was so tasty. There is a veg/vegan restaurant on the island and the food there was lovely.

Last but not least, as a couple of vegetarian and vegan, we absolutely LOVE Just Veg, the all vegetarian and romantic restaurant on the water. While we also tried the main buffet restaurant, the Sunset and Sri Lanka street food places once, we ate most of our meals at Just Veg. The menu is great and varied, and has well-enough options for vegans for 5 days.

The Just Veg restaurant was a highlight. We are vegan, so being able to find food so easily is great. We were lucky to be there whilst the founding chef was visiting, and had some amazing taster menus. On the whole, everything on the ordinary menu is excellent and the staff friendly.

The vegan food was excellent throughout the stay. We dined at just veg 7-8 times during the week long stay, at spice for breakfast everyday and tried a couple of the other restaurants (the srilankan street food cafe, the sunset restaurant, etc.) Just veg was amazing! It's the reason why we picked this island and it did not disappoint. The other places had nice options too and chef rohin made sure to bring us a few extras throughout our stay too (vegan pancakes, doughnuts, tofu curries, etc.).

We came here specifically for their vegan food options and that didn't disappoint. You will love the food no matter what your choices are. Chef walked around the buffet area to answer questions, staff always touching base asking for feedback and making sure we were enjoying everything.

Being vegans, Chef Saurabh and Chef Rohin went out of their way to make sure we had delicious meals prepared for us and we were looked after. Both were really caring, took great interest, approachable and paid attention to detail. I loved the fact that there is a vegetarian restaurant- Just Veg, and it's included in the All Inc package.

Just Veg is located at the far end of the Island and as the name suggests offers vegetarian and vegan food only. We had lunch there (prior reservation required) and the food was absolutely delicious.

Recently returned home from a lovely weeks holiday at Atmosphere, as someone who is vegan and suffers from many food allergies eating and travelling is often extremely tough and quite a stressful experience for me. After expressing these issues to the staff at Atmosphere, I was extremely grateful at how attentive the chefs here were. I cannot thank chef Ram and Chef Rohin enough for how well they looked after me all week, the food was the best I have eaten for years

went above and beyond to accommodate us vegans. We were happy to eat at the "Just Veg" restaurant daily, but didn't expect them to craft custom meals, not on the menu, when they realized how frequently we were eating there.

When researching options in the Maldives the first thing we typed up on google was 'Vegan friendly Resorts in the Maldives', so if you are vegan like my wife and I, you will love this place, there are vegan options in all four restaurants ( Well, we haven't dined in the Sunset, so please check their menu), however, the Spicy, Pier 6 and last but not least, The Just Veg

once he found out we were vegan, he went above and beyond to make sure we understood a lot of the food available and even made us special dishes off the menu. We had a special vegan dessert with every meal!
