Features
The Belle Terrace - This romantic open-air dining terrace overlooks the Caribbean Sea providing a tropical setting to an a la carte menu with international, Danish, and local island cuisine. Shaded by a giant old Royal Poinciana ("Flamboyant") and rustling palm trees, the waves breaking on the shore serve as background music. Open for lunch and dinner. The Blues - This jazz bar and restaurant, located at the end of the pier, offers succulent lobster dishes, cocktails, and views of the sunset. Open for dinner.
The Avila Café - A charming patio restaurant welcomes guests with a wide-variety breakfast buffet offering coffee, tea, espresso, and cappuccino. Between meals the café serves a selection of sandwiches, salads, pastries, and more. The Schooner Bar - Situated midway between the two beaches, adjacent to the Belle Terrace and part of the original Avila Beach Hotel, this bar resembles a wooden boat halfway buried in the white sands of the Avila Beach. Drinks are served during the daytime, at sunset, and into the warm, tropical night.
