In April 2026, UMA was honoured with the Contemporary Cuisine Award at the AHA WA Perth Airport Accommodation Awards for Excellence, recognising our commitment to culinary innovation, exceptional dining experiences and outstanding hospitality.
Presented by the Australian Hotels Association (WA), the awards celebrate excellence across Western Australia's hospitality industry and acknowledge venues that consistently deliver exceptional food, service and guest experiences.
A Recognition of Innovation and Quality
The Contemporary Cuisine Award reflects UMA's distinctive approach to dining, where the vibrant flavours and traditions of South America meet premium Western Australian produce and contemporary culinary techniques.
From signature ceviches and expertly grilled proteins to thoughtfully curated wine pairings, our menu is designed to showcase creativity, authenticity and a genuine passion for hospitality.
A Team Effort
This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our entire team. From our talented kitchen brigade and front-of-house professionals to our valued suppliers and partners, every individual contributes to creating the memorable experiences for which UMA has become known.
Led by Executive Chef Xerxes Bodhanwala, the team continually strives to deliver innovative dishes, warm service and exceptional moments for every guest who dines with us.
Thank You
We are incredibly grateful to our guests for their continued support and loyalty. Receiving this recognition in April marked an exciting milestone for UMA and set the tone for what has been a remarkable year of achievements.
As we continue to evolve, we remain committed to delivering the exceptional food, hospitality and South American-inspired dining experience that our guests know and love.
