Wide variety of drinks, fantastic setting. It is very very quite when the band is not there drumming away. The snack menu is excellent, some good pizzas there! ;-)

Perfect place to relax after a heavy meal at the restaurant. The local Maldivian band also every Monday nights is very good!

Try the chocolate martini's - you won't regret it! Curl up on the huge, oversized cushions and order a sheesha pipe and watch the sun set and the colours in the sky change whilst enjoying a cocktail or six!

We enjoyed sitting at the bar in the sand having a pre dinner drink watching the staff play Football. Genie looked after us everyday, with great service and as my husband wanted really cold beer!

There was a wonderful bartender there when we went...he was so friendly and the cocktails were delicious! You can eat there for lunch and it is really pleasant and the food is delicious (we preferred it to the buffet lunch at the restaurant)

Drinks are served inside the open walled bar or on the deck, always accompanied by a snack of assorted nuts, olives etc. We enjoyed watching the young male staff playing handball on the beach before we went to dinner. No money - everything goes on your room. Service is discreet and caring.
