Sun Siyam Iru Veli welcomed a delegation of hospitality students and professors from the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy, on January 11, 2026, as part of a sustainability and corporate social responsibility learning programme.

The visiting group comprised 20 participants, including hospitality students and academic staff specialising in tourism and sustainability, bringing an international academic perspective to the resort’s ongoing environmental and CSR initiatives. One such activity to be highlighted was the resort’s Food Waste Awareness Campaign, an initiative designed to promote responsible resort operations, reduce food waste, and provide future hospitality professionals with practical, real-world sustainability knowledge.

As part of the visit, the delegation participated in a dedicated sustainability session led by Chaminda Upul Kumara, Group Sustainability Manager at Sun Siyam Resorts, which focused on real-world applications of responsible practices within the hospitality industry. This was followed by a presentation by Athif Ibrahim, Training and Quality Assurance Manager, who shared insights into Maldivian hospitality, the heritage of Sun Siyam Resorts, and the group’s long-term vision for sustainability and community engagement.

Participants also took part in a guided tour of Iru Veli, including a visit to an Ocean Villa with Pool, providing first-hand exposure to the resort’s facilities, service standards, and operational approach to balancing exceptional guest experiences with environmental responsibility.

“It was inspiring to engage with the students and professors on the importance of sustainability and food waste reduction, while also sharing our rich culture, heritage, and hospitality, and how Sun Siyam Resorts continues to keep the essence of the Maldivian Spirit alive,” said Athif Ibrahim, Training and Quality Assurance Manager. “Their enthusiasm and curiosity make initiatives like this truly impactful.”

Claudio Melli, Professor of Tourism Geography at The University of Milano-Bicocca, added, “We are grateful for the opportunity to learn about sustainable practices and explore the resort. The sessions and tour provided us with invaluable insights into responsible hospitality and environmental stewardship.”

Through initiatives such as this, Sun Siyam Iru Veli continues to advance its commitment to corporate social responsibility by supporting education, sustainability, and meaningful engagement with the next generation of hospitality professionals.

A celebration of the pet owners who stayed back, held on, and never let go.

Some things in life stay beautifully constant, and for many Dubai residents, that has been their pets. Through everyday routines, slow days, and everything in between, pet parents have built their lives around their four-legged companions in the most natural, heartwarming way. UBK at Mövenpick Jumeirah Lakes Towers is celebrating that bond with Paws & Pour, a feel-good gesture for guests who stayed in Dubai with their pets during the recent period of regional uncertainty.

Visit UBK, show a photo of you and your pet from the past two months in Dubai, and enjoy a complimentary non-alcoholic drink on the house every Sunday only from 12pm-12am. Just a simple cheers to a not-so-simple bond. Because UBK has always been proudly pet-friendly, especially with Paws & Play running Sunday to Thursday from 12pm to 7pm, where dogs are very much part of the vibe. Plus, guests can enjoy 30% off food and beverages while spending time with their furry plus-ones.

Paws & Pour is UBK doing what it does best, keeping things easy, welcoming, and full of personality. A little toast to loyalty, companionship, and the pets who make every day better just by being in it.

For those who believe there is no such thing as too much cheese, Nando’s UAE is bringing a richer, more indulgent twist to its menu this May, layering its signature flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken with melted cheese, creamy sauces and comfort driven sides.

Launching from 7th May, the limited time menu leans into familiar favourites, reworked with a more decadent edge, where flame-grilled heat meets soft, melty finishes and deeper, savoury flavours.

At the centre of the line up are two new gourmet burger meals. The PERi-Cheese Chicken Burger pairs juicy chicken thighs with a melted cheese slice and a smooth, creamy cheese sauce, balanced with lettuce, tomato and crunchy onions in a toasted potato bun. The Mighty Chicken & Mushroom Burger offers a slightly richer take, layered with caramelised mushrooms and red onion, finished with the same signature cheese sauce.

Beyond the burgers, the Cheesy Loaded Garlic Bread brings a bold new appeteaser to the table, topped with pulled chicken, caramelised onion and melted mozzarella. The PERi-Mac & Cheese also makes its highly anticipated UAE debut, bringing a much-loved Nando’s favourite from other markets with a comforting, creamy base and a subtle PERi-PERi kick, finished with a crunchy, garlicky crumb.

Designed for everything from quick midweek lunches to easy, laid back dinners, the menu is available across Nando’s UAE for a limited time, with prices starting from AED 24 and gourmet burger meals from AED 69 including a regular side.

Details

When: From 7th May | Where: Nando’s restaurants across the UAE | How much: Prices start from AED 24, with gourmet burger meals from AED 69 including one regular side | Available for: A limited time only
