This business is a “paradigm shift” in Lonely Beach when it comes to quality,service and taste. The business is the only Restaurant and Bar that really stands out amongst the lower end venues and emphasizes quality and value over low cost, something that more and more visitors to the area are now expecting. The current owner has put a great deal of effort and money into creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The (happy) bright colors,the bamboo walls and the old wooden floor,hamocks to rest in etc along with greenery such as bamboo and coconut palms add to the tropical atmosphere.
Quality is the name of the game when it comes to music, food and drinks. The bar boasts what many consider to be the best sound system on the island – and has played host to DJs from around the world including those from London’s Ministry of Sound. In addition, all food is made with only first-class ingredients,and the Western-food is made the correct way – as it would be in Europe. In the Bar you’ll find all cocktails are made the same way and with the same top shelf brands as guests are used to from their favorite bars at home.
The bar doesnt sell cheap alcohol out of an expensive bottle – as many places in the area do. Lonely Beach is changing quickly from price sensitive backpackers to those who still like to party but aren’t necessarily looking for the cheapest options. They value good drink, food and music. Many older guests also come from upmarket resorts in search of a fun night out in a lively but more sophisticated & comfortable environment than most bars provide.
The property is set on around 1,700 Sqm (24m x 64m) of land which the restaurant occupies about 500sqm of this with approx 24 metres of frontage on the main road.
Behind the rear, bamboo wall there are four bungalows, laundry and kitchen area plus store room. The bungalows are used as the owner’s home & office. Above the restaurant and kitchen are six rooms for staff.
This leaves approx 700sqm of land that hasn’t been developed but would be ideal for bungalows or boutique hotel.
