    About
    We are situated right on the beach. Imagine sitting on the beach with the sun setting, sipping your favourite cocktail and enjoying some of the best cuisine on the island - how romantic! We also offer a pizza take away service - forget the cooking - enjoy our pizza in your room/hotel or just sit on the beach with your feet in the water enjoying the food. We can cater for small private functions and weddings. Look forward to seeing you at the Vaima. We recommend that families book between 5.30 and 6.30 pm.

    Perfect spot, food and complimentary transfer

    This was just perfect! We were eating catch of the day while watching the beautiful sunset on the beach. Very nice staff! Don't forget to use the complimentary transfer if that's available to your accommodation.

    Great seafood

    Had the seafood platter and it was very good, served in a very attractive way. The servers were not very knowledgable, but they were nice. They also pick you up at your hotel so it's great if you don't have a vehicle.
