Auntie Luba's Kitchen invites you to savour local flavours in a casual waterfront setting, while Gauguin Grill makes beachfront dining memorable with charcoal-grilled seafood served on handwoven plates. Wine enthusiasts can book a tasting in the inn's unique Wine Aquarium which is filled with over 1200 bottles of fabulous vintages. Cool off with a poolside cocktail at The Laughing Fish Bar which may be served in a freshly-picked coconut from the surrounding palm trees, or visit the Skip White Bar for local beer and classic cocktails. Just beside the Skip White Bar, the Kid's Gelato Bar has seasonal flavours, perfect for a sunny day.

Unwind with a traditional Thai massage in an open-air Balinese Rice House at the Sunset Spa which uses locally sourced organic ingredients in face and body treatments. Stop by the Dive Shop to book a snorkelling or SCUBA tour, rent equipment and sailboats or to pick up beach supplies. Cool off with a dip in either of the two infinity swimming pools or visit the white sand beach to enjoy the calm water and picturesque Caribbean blue. In the gift shop, you can pick up resort wear, beach reads and handcrafted Balinese goods including decor and textiles.
