Below, get a preview of some of the culinary delicacies created by Executive Chef Fábio Fernandes and his team that Secret Bay has become famous for.

1. Executive Chef Fábio’s Signature ‘Zero Miles’ Tuna

As delicious as it is beautiful, ‘Zero Miles’ Tuna starts with seared, sushi-grade tuna hand-caught by local fishers and is crafted with sustainable and seasonal local ingredients, including fresh mango, ginger, and shado beni (a local herb similar to coriander/cilantro) foraged at Secret Bay.

3. Coconut Rum Punch 

Handcrafted with coconut rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and black pepper, this cocktail is fruity and refreshing, while packing a punch. Guests can order these at Zing Zing Restaurant, in their villa, or at Tibay Beach.

4. Secret Bay’s Famous Cocoa Tea

Sweet, savory, and slightly spicy—this signature Secret Bay delight is comfort for your taste buds, mind, and body. Cocoa, fresh cinnamon bark, and bay leaves blend perfectly to make a beautiful morning beverage or afternoon treat. ​​We recommend enjoying the tea outside to bring a meditative moment into your day.

7. Spicy Pineapple & Chicken Stir Fry

Highlighting this popular tropical fruit, our guest-favorite stir fry is marinated for hours to develop a beautiful flavor profile and served with steamed rice.

8. Mahi Mahi Mango Tacos

Freshly caught fish, juicy mangoes, complementary herbs & spices—these tacos are perfectly balanced and pack so much into each bite.

9. Octopus Salad

Our Octopus Salad is always a huge hit among guests with more adventurous palates. Tender, juicy cooked octopus is accentuated by parsley, onion, lemon, garlic, and more for a well-rounded salad. Served chilled.

10. Vanilla & Aged Rum Panna Cotta 

We always recommend saving room for dessert when you dine with us, so plan accordingly! Infused with cask rum, this creamy dessert is a forever favorite.
