Travelers seeking a fusion of culinary adventure and island serenity are invited to experience an exclusive event at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, where tropical elegance meets gourmet artistry. This October, the resort welcomes celebrated German culinary duo Tina and Alex Pestl for a vibrant collaboration that brings guests closer to the heart of Maldivian hospitality, cuisine, and natural beauty.
Located on the idyllic Furanafushi Island in North Malé Atoll, just a swift 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is a sanctuary of turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and lush tropical gardens. With 176 luxurious villas, seven restaurants and bars, a full-service Shine Spa, and a comprehensive water sports and dive center, the resort is a beloved retreat for travelers in search of both relaxation and enrichment.
The collaboration with Tina and Alex—renowned creators of the popular German food blog Selbstgemacht – Der Foodblog—marks an exciting culinary celebration rooted in connection and cultural appreciation. Famous for their easy-to-follow, family-style recipes and passion for local ingredients, the duo will offer guests hands-on experiences that blend their culinary flair with the vibrant flavors of the Maldives.
A standout event in the program is scheduled for 22 October 2025, when guests can join a traditional Maldivian group fishing excursion alongside Tina and Alex. The fresh catch of the day will be grilled beachside, culminating in a candle-lit dinner under the stars, offering an unforgettable opportunity to enjoy the Maldivian way of life through food, stories, and shared moments.
Expanding the celebration further, the resort is offering an exclusive Marriott Bonvoy Moment: a four-night Culinary Escape with Tina and Alex from 20 to 24 October 2025. Guests who win this package through a points-based auction will enjoy a premium all-inclusive stay in an Overwater Villa with Pool. This unforgettable experience includes gourmet dining across the resort’s acclaimed restaurants, a tropical island lunch with an interactive cooking class led by Tina and Alex, and the group fishing and grilling experience. Additional highlights include a rejuvenating treatment at Shine Spa, a sunset dolphin cruise, and complimentary water activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Greg Allan, General Manager of Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, shared his excitement: “We are thrilled to welcome Tina and Alex to our resort. This collaboration is about more than food—it’s about bringing people together to enjoy the richness of Maldivian culture and the joy of shared experiences in an inspiring island setting.”
In a statement, Tina and Alex remarked, “Food creates powerful memories. The Maldives, with its fresh ingredients and stunning surroundings, is a dream setting to connect with people over flavors and stories. We’re excited to meet guests in person and cook together in this magical place.”
Travelers must be 21 years or older to participate in the Marriott Bonvoy Culinary Escape, and bidding starts at 200,000 Bonvoy points. The auction will remain open until 21 September 2025 and is accessible exclusively through Marriott Bonvoy Moments.
