ZERO DEGREE (Bar)
Zero Degree restaurant and bar is where you’ll find poolside dining at its finest: a simple yet wide menu of international dishes that addresses all cravings from crisp fresh salads to European, Asian and middle-eastern dishes all served by the pool. Those who come early enough can book one of the four tables that are actually in the pool and dine barefoot in the water. Shaded dining tables under a thatched roof await later diners. Other favorite dining destinations are the poolside cabanas, swathed in fabric and of course for the ultimate sun lovers, the sun beds in the pool. At night, thanks to its incredible LED lighting display, the pool transforms into a sparkling water wonderland filled with a myriad of tiny stars, reflecting the incredible night skies above as the bar becomes the social place to be with live music, DJ and special events such as open air movies enjoyed from the comfort of an inflatable lounger in the pool itself. The bar tenders work their magic from an enticing list of cocktails and libations while guests can dance the night away on the dance floor or even go for a midnight swim should the fancy take them.
Seating 33 diners under its thatched roof and 40 diners al fresco, Zero Degree is open daily from 09.00 until 18,00 (lunch menu from 12.00 – 17.00)

OTTOMAN LOUNGE (Bar)
This far-flung outpost of the Ottoman empire graces the island with fine Turkish teas and coffee presented in the traditional manner in filigree silver- service or tulip-shaped glassware, as it has been for centuries in Turkey. Here Ayada Maldives showcases the beauty and unique experience of sipping authentically brewed Turkish coffee and specialty teas in a lounge inspired by a traditional café in Turkey, complete with Ottoman style furnishings, intricate light fixtures and low seating. This welcoming lounge is a perfect spot for a private meeting or a relaxed drink with friends. For a soothing afternoon ritual look no further than chef’s modern interpretation of afternoon tea, which brings a touch of Maldivian and Turkish flavors into the setting. In the evenings, a choice of aromatic shisha water pipes (narghile) adds elegance. The décor, with its sand-floor and thatched roof with typically Turkish carved wooden furniture, lends itself to photographic interest, especially in the evening when the ‘chandelier’ of hundreds of tiny Turkish style lanterns light up the lounge.
