Michelin-Star Chef Introduces Italian Cuisine to Maldives Resorts

Atmosphere Hotels is hosting a special culinary event next month featuring Michelin-starred chef Pasquale Palamaro. The series, called “Mediterranean Soul, Maldivian Heart,” will blend Italian coastal cooking with fresh Maldivian ingredients in two of the brand’s stunning resorts.

Chef Pasquale runs Indaco, a one-Michelin-star restaurant on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. He’s known for turning simple, local ingredients into unforgettable dishes. "Cooking, to me, is a dialogue with nature—an art of transforming simplicity into beauty," Palamaro enthused. "Bringing Indaco’s spirit to the Maldives is a chance to merge two coasts and two cultures through taste, technique, and emotion."

The fun starts at RAAYA by Atmosphere on November 18 and 19. Guests can join a hands-on cooking class with the chef, then enjoy a five-course dinner at The Village restaurant. Expect creative plates that highlight both Mediterranean style and island flavors.
