Renewed Beach Bar Located on our beautiful beach – the only one in Chole Bay unaffected by tide – our Beach Bar offers light lunches and early afternoon fare such as salads, sandwiches and freshly caught fish, complemented by a fully-stocked bar.The bar’s open, generous size makes it the perfect spot for monthly dance parties dedicated to different genres of music…Traditional African rhythms, dance music, or even…. tango!

We will also be offering intimate candlelit dinners, perfect for celebrating occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, honeymoons or simply the pleasure of sampling our special menus on request.
