Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa opens a season-long guest-chef series with Executive Chef Ku Chi Fai presenting two exclusive six-course Cantonese dinners on 2 and 5 October 2026 during Chinese Golden Week.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa has launched the Masters of Food & Wine Series, running October 2026–April 2027, with seasonal guest-chef chapters.
Executive Chef Ku Chi Fai, founder of MICHELIN-starred The Beijing Kitchen, will prepare two six-course Cantonese dinners on 2 and 5 October 2026 at Island Grill.
The inaugural chapter aligns with Chinese Golden Week and focuses on a menu themed “A Celebration of Prosperity, Family and Culinary Heritage,” priced at USD 249++ per person with wine pairings.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa has opened its Masters of Food & Wine Series with a slate of season-long guest-chef events. The first chapter — "A MICHELIN-Starred Culinary Journey Through the Seasons" — features Executive Chef Ku Chi Fai, a Cantonese chef best known for founding The Beijing Kitchen, a restaurant that earned consecutive MICHELIN Stars and Black Pearl One-Diamond Awards.
Park Hyatt describes the Masters of Food & Wine Series as a way to transform guest-chef dinners into an "immersive journey through global culinary cultures," with each chapter inspired by a seasonal occasion and interpreted by a distinguished chef. The resort's general manager, Anshul Sharma, said the choice of Chef Ku for the inaugural chapter aligns with the series' goals of cultural discovery, craftsmanship and culinary excellence.
Expect a focused, multi-course Cantonese tasting that balances traditional techniques with contemporary refinement. The event is positioned as an intimate dining experience, pairing curated food with premium wines and timed to a major cultural holiday to create a thematic dining narrative.
This announcement follows a broader trend of luxury Maldivian resorts hosting Michelin-starred or high-profile chefs for limited residencies and series. Park Hyatt Hadahaa's multi-month program parallels other resorts that stage culinary seasons to attract guests seeking destination dining experiences.
If you plan to attend: check availability and book early, note the date and price, and expect a structured six-course tasting with wine pairings. If you're tracking hospitality programming: this program signals continued investment by Maldivian resorts in seasonal, chef-driven dining activations through 2027.
