The Sandbar
The Sandbar is where the day unfolds, one course at a time. With an expansive deck offering plenty of seating and views out over the pool and ocean, it’s the kind of place you settle into rather than pass through. Open all day, the menu spans local and international dishes, paired with a full drinks list – from crafted cocktails and fine wines to fresh juices and mocktails for something lighter.
Prefer to stay in? Room service is available at an additional charge, so a taste of The Sandbar is never far from your terrace.
THE MENU
Where the Ocean Meets Your Table
From sunrise to sunset, The Sandbar serves up a mix of local and international flavors, alongside cocktails, wine, fresh juices, and mocktails – poolside, on the deck, or wherever you’re most comfortable. Take a look at what we offer.
