Gin Masterclass at Milaidhoo

To celebrate Gin, Milaidhoo offers guests a curated Gin Masterclass. It’s a guided exploration of the best Gin cocktails in the world.

The Gin Masterclass is held in the exotic setting of the beach or beside the infinity pool of the Compass Pool Bar. Gin aficionados and the curious are invited to get to know the wide variety and different tastes of Milaidhoo’s Gin selection in various cocktails.

Get to know Gin

The resort’s Gin Connoisseur will guide guests through the process of blending their own Gin recipe, tailored to their taste preferences as well as sharing secrets on how best to present a gin cocktail.

The Gin Masterclass is not only a taste adventure; it’s also an educational experience with the Gin master sharing details and background about the history of Gin. Guests will discover the techniques and tropical botanicals used in gin production and experience how these affect the flavour and quality of gin.
