SUSHISAMBA Dubai, the multi-award-winning dining destination located 51 floors above The Palm Jumeirah, is set to bring its internationally recognised culinary experience to the Maldives with an exclusive three-night engagement at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, from September 25 to 27, 2026.
The special collaboration will see SUSHISAMBA Dubai take over EAU Bar at the ultra-luxury island resort, presenting guests with a curated dining experience that combines its distinctive Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian culinary influences with the sophisticated hospitality and natural beauty for which the Maldives is globally renowned.
Led by SUSHISAMBA Brand Chef Kitak Lee, the experience will feature a bespoke selection of signature dishes prepared to the brand’s established standards of culinary craftsmanship. The evenings will also include live performances by SUSHISAMBA’s signature samba dancers, bringing the vibrant atmosphere associated with the Dubai destination to the Indian Ocean.
The collaboration places two internationally recognised names in luxury hospitality together in one of the world’s most prestigious tourism destinations. SUSHISAMBA Dubai has established a strong reputation within Dubai’s competitive dining sector, while The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands has developed its own distinctive position within the Maldives’ premium resort market through high-end accommodation, personalised service, Maldivian-inspired experiences and an extensive collection of dining concepts.
Located within the Fari Islands archipelago, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives offers a contemporary interpretation of luxury island hospitality surrounded by the Indian Ocean. The resort is particularly recognised for its legendary Aris Meeha service, through which dedicated island butlers provide personalised assistance throughout each guest’s stay, reflecting the resort’s focus on attentive and highly individualised hospitality.
The resort’s architecture and island environment have also become defining elements of its guest experience, combining modern design with expansive ocean views and a strong connection to the surrounding tropical landscape. Its accommodation portfolio includes sophisticated villas positioned across the beachfront and over the lagoon, providing guests with privacy while maintaining access to the resort’s dining, recreational and cultural experiences.
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands has continued to strengthen its culinary profile through international collaborations and diverse dining experiences designed to complement the Maldives’ position as a premium global tourism destination. The arrival of SUSHISAMBA Dubai further expands this offering, providing international travellers with access to a globally recognised restaurant concept within the setting of one of the Maldives’ leading luxury resorts.
The collaboration also reflects the Maldives’ growing importance as a destination for internationally recognised chefs, hospitality brands and exclusive culinary events. Alongside its renowned natural environment and luxury accommodation sector, the country continues to broaden the range of experiences available to visitors, contributing to the Government’s wider efforts to strengthen the Maldives’ international tourism positioning and enhance value within the hospitality industry.
“This collaboration marks an exciting milestone as we take the electric spirit and culinary excellence of SUSHISAMBA Dubai to one of the world’s most spectacular luxury destinations,” Brand Chef Kitak Lee said. “We look forward to bringing our signature blend of flavors, theatrical energy, and world-class hospitality to EAU Bar for three unforgettable nights.”
The SUSHISAMBA Dubai experience will be hosted at EAU Bar, an oceanfront venue at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, where guests will be able to enjoy the specially developed menu against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. The setting is expected to combine elevated dining with live entertainment and the relaxed sophistication of the resort’s island environment.
The event will run from Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27, 2026. Two dinner seatings will be available each evening, with the first seating scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and the second from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
