Niyama Private Islands Maldives – Subsix
No trip to the Niyama Private Islands is complete without a visit to Subsix. This exclusive restaurant is located 20 feet below the Indian Ocean and is ready to have you feeling like the Little Mermaid. The only way to get to Subsix is on the resort speedboat, which travels 500-meters to the offshore dock. Upon arrival you’ll find an extravagant staircase that descends three levels into the restaurant. Between chandeliers that resemble coral and atmospheric blue lighting, you’ll be fighting the urge to hold your breath. The structure is built right in the center of a thriving coral reef, perfect for taking in the view of swimming turtles and eels in the central clam-shaped bar. The only things that can compete with the surrounding nature are the exquisite delicate aquatic inspired dishes, like poached scallops and acquarello risotto.
Fairmont Banff Springs – 360 Dome
Fairmont Banff Springs is known as Canada’s “Castle in the Rockies,” so any meal consumed here is bound to have a beautiful atmosphere. However, for a truly unforgettable experience there’s nothing like the 360 Dome. Located on the garden terrace, the dome has panoramic views of the resort and the Canadian Rockies. The dome is available for breakfast, brunch, and dinner year-round and while the view is beautiful at any time, we recommend booking during the winter season for a particularly bewitching effect. There is currently only one dome, so you’ll want to make sure to make reservations well in advance. Be sure to note this experience is not for the shy, as other guests are sure to be taking pictures from the balcony during your meal. The food will be worth it, as in the dome you’ll be able to feast on delicacies like Citrus Cured Rougie Duck Confit and Brant Lake Waygu Beef Carpaccio.

Don’t tire yourself out too much, it’s time to learn about the area’s wildlife and natural history from a private tour guide while you roam through the labyrinth of Ice Caps. Right there in the heart of the icy blue caves is where you’ll have a 5-course meal that’s been curated specially for your party. Spend the rest of your day wandering through the caves, on snow buggies, or posing for the personal photographer that’s been accompanying you all trip!
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal – El Farallon
El Farallon is the ideal restaurant for seafood lovers. With perfect positioning in Cabo San Lucas, this restaurant resides on a cliff right in front of the Pacific Ocean. There is no wrong time to visit this destination, but we especially recommend it for the honeymooners out there. The combination of twinkling lights and the sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the cliffs create the perfect ambiance for romance. The fish is caught fresh each morning, anything from tuna, red snapper, lobster, or clams is at your disposal. You’re even able to select exactly which fish you’d like from a shaved ice display before it’s sent back to the acclaimed Chef Miriam Jimenez. As a part of the Champagne Terrace you’re also able to choose from an extensive list of over 20, always changing, champagnes.
