Tailored dining at Seta, Mandarin Oriental Milan 

 

Starting in Italy, the Mandarin Oriental Milan offers guests a two-Michelin-starred experience. The hotel is housed in a series of elegant 18th-century buildings in the heart of the city and steps away from the fashion district and the artistic neighbourhood of Brera. 

 

Guests can be taken on a gastronomic journey designed by Chef Antonio Guida. With so many options to choose from, The La Via del Seta tasting menu can be the go to experience. 

 

The menu includes a selection of Chef Antonio’s signature dishes, including Oysters with potatoes, friggitelli peppers and champagne sauce and his variation on risotto, the delectable Risotto with raspberry and herb cream. 

 

Private dining on the beach or Coral Terrace 

 

The next destination is the W Maldives. Perfect for a romantic dinner, guests can choose from one of the locations around the resort, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. 

 

Offering a farm menu featuring a range of meats, ocean menu inspired by the sea, a combination of the two or something special created for vegetarians, every detail is crafted specially for the couple. 

 

Dishes include sumptuous lamb rack with herb crust, wagyu beef stripling, luxurious caviar and portobello mushroom risotto, bringing flavours from around the world.

 

Private dining experience

 

Staying in the W Maldives, experience the wonders of nature with a gastronomic delight. From a sensational sunset with bubbles and canapés to a five-course casual bistro menu complete with private chef, or a barefoot beach barbecue in the white sands of the Maldives. 

 

On this private palm-fringed island, guests can design this elevated date-night to whatever they desire. 

                          

An Italian night in Jeddah

  

Jetting off to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia next. On its 20-km-long corniche, the Rosewood Jeddah makes the experience exceptional with incredible offers.
