Alana Food and Drink

Our talented local chefs whip up the delicious club board at Alana Beach Club. Every guest, no matter how long you are staying, enjoys a daily breakfast and lunch. Most evening meals are on us too, with the number included based on how many nights you decide to stay.

On non-inclusive evenings, you can enjoy the à la carte Freski bar menu and a BBQ night too. Fancy eating out? It's not a problem. A short 10-15-minute stroll into town will put you in the hubbub of a good selection of restaurants. Many local bars and restaurants don't accept card payments and are cash only — we recommend you bring some euros.

Enjoy the flavours of local wines — bold reds and refreshing whites, all served in the hotel bars and restaurants. Our team is on hand for that perfect recommendation! Fancy a sundowner, our rooftop bar is the ultimate way to toast an epic day with stunning views, jaw-dropping sunsets and of course the best cocktails to boot.
