Please note credit will be given to guests on Half-board not dining in the main restaurant in the evening but this is unlikely to cover the cost of a main course:

• Karma House, the culinary flagship, is a gastronomic la carte restaurant offering French cuisine with Asian touches during the evening.

• Abalone is open for lunch serving salads and Mauritian specialities and every evening for seafood.
• Banyan Pool & Grill – The Island Kitchen serves lunch by the swimming pool, under the shade of the tree from which it gained its name.
• The Bar offers drinks throughout the day and evening and snacks at lunchtime.
• Spirit Lounge & Bar , designed around Feng Shui principles, is a relaxing environment to enjoy a quiet drink in the evening but also during the day.
