Perfectly integrated into its environment, the restaurant offers an authentic and friendly atmosphere by the crystal clear water of the bay. The decoration is tastefully elaborated and uses natural materials: wood, palm leaves, fibres… Each space in the restaurant is unique and will offer a different atmosphere to your lunch.

The Beach

The Karibuni offers a complete beach service with the rental of deckchairs and parasols: ideal for enjoying the white sand and turquoise water while enjoying a cold cocktail.


Facing the bay, Karibuni beach is sheltered from prevailing winds and swells and thus ensures optimal conditions. In addition, the beach offers an idyllic and shallow body of water suitable for the whole family… you will undoubtedly be able to observe the fish, rays and turtles that inhabit the crystal clear waters of the bay.


For your meal, you will be able to have lunch on the beach or sit down at the restaurant, at your convenience!
