Soneva JaniSri Lankan
Tucked away on Soneva Jani’s sun-kissed South Beach, the Crab Shack is a rustic, open-air dining haven that captures the laid-back charm of island life. Crafted from reclaimed wood and driftwood in homage to traditional Maldivian craftsmanship, the two-storey venue invites guests to dine barefoot with toes in the sand. The upper deck features tiered daybeds with sweeping lagoon views — an idyllic spot to unwind with a chilled rosé in hand and savour the rhythm of the waves.
Voted the ‘World’s Most Romantic Restaurant’ by CNN.com, the lunch menu showcases a rotating selection of regional crab specialities, from Sri Lankan Mud Crab curry to seasonal Alaskan favourites, paired with a curated list of rosés and crisp white wines. Bright, breezy and unpretentious, the Crab Shack is a celebration of flavour, sunshine and slow living by the sea.
Open for lunch daily from 12:30 to 14:30.
The Crab Shack has a maximum capacity of 70 guests.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available for a range of bespoke celebrations and events.
