hangouts like Café 40B and Hemingway, and lively, fun Bikinis also all have their own unique style. Feeling mellow? Sashay down to the sand for a hit of bohemian Zen at Mood Beach then double back and go exotic chill at Bollywood Bar & Lounge. Mambo Beach Blvd is also an ideal oasis for daytime glass raising, seaside lounging, noshing, swimming, and shopping, and their crazy Sunday pool parties are legendary! More popular beach party places
We’re not done with surfside revelry yet! Now we head to Jan Thiel Beach where more good vibrations are always shaking up the sand. That’s where you’ll find local favorite Zanzibar (“Zanzi”) for all kinds
of musical nights ranging from electronic to unplugged, and dancing barefoot from bar to bar you can hit Papagayo Beach Club, Zest Beach Café, and Tinto without breaking a sweat. When you need a break, head to Mojito’s & Bites for a snack and to catch the sports scores too. Kokomo Beach is the place to be for the full moon every month; the blowouts there are epic and attract hundreds of full moon howlers! Piscadera Bay has swagger with Pirate Bay Beach Club that also attracts the party animals on weekends in droves. Out on the west coast, Coral Estate has a cool bar on a beach beside a cliff called Karakter, and it does have a lot of character! Perched above it is their gorgeous rooftop pool bar called Koraal for ideal sunset imbibing before the dancing begins below. Also perched above a beach on a fabulous pier closer to town you’ll find one of the island’s premier pioneering party hot spots called Blues Bar at Avila Beach Hotel. Their musicians are
perched as well – above the bar – and are famous for playing all that jazz, soul, and of course, blues! Pietermaai – an entire party district
You’ll need at least an entire night to enjoy all that this unique district has to offer. But try to get there before the sun goes down to enjoy the candy-colored restored historic buildings and the street art that makes it such a vibrant cultural hub. Everything is jam packed into a tiny grid of narrow streets and alleys by the sea and the eclectic selection of offerings really runs the gamut. First, you have chic and sophisticated Riviera style Saint Tropez centered around an infinity pool looking out on the sea with private cabanas and cool DJs and tapas at night. Also classy, though foremost for dinner, there’s Ginger and Kome for an upscale vibe to clink cocktails and grab small bites. And if you are still looking for laid-back, then that vibe lives at Miles Jazz Café, the ideal place to chill to some smooth !
