The Black Pearl first dazzled Male' in 2022, quickly earning a reputation as a fine-dining favorite. Its unique blend of Maldivian artistry and global cuisine drew crowds, but challenges forced a temporary closure.

The Black Pearl offers a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance with dark interiors, Maldivian art, and lush greenery, perfect for intimate dinners, family gatherings, or corporate meetings in its private dining area.
A black pearl is not really black, but iridescent, exhibiting colorful overtones of green, blue, purple, or silver that shift and shimmer with light. This phenomena is dominant in The Black Pearl restaurant’s menu too, featuring a splendid blending of colourful cuisines from all over the globe.
