Dining at Secret Bay
Part of the luxury of staying at Secret Bay is the fresh, sustainable cuisine you’ll encounter, which satisfies both mind and body in one seaside locale. You can choose to dine in-villa, at our open-air Zing Zing restaurant, discover the Botanica Chef’s Table in the garden, or experience the newest Bwa Denn, where food and art converge. Each meal is ethically prepared by our executive chef, who reimagines fresh, vibrant ingredients foraged right here on the property or sourced from nearby fishers and farmers markets. This innovative, hyperlocal culinary concept fosters a more intimate and traceable connection between guests and the land, earning Secret Bay its reputation as a leader in sustainable food tourism.
Zing Zing Restaurant
Secret Bay’s open-air Zing Zing restaurant offers locally-sourced fare set to jaw-dropping views of Tibay Beach, setting a romantic scene with a canopy-style roof, display kitchen and private dining room. The restaurant is open daily for lunch from 12-3:00pm, featuring inspired island-to-table plates off our Island Harvest menu, and nightly for dinner from 6-10:00pm, with four set courses following our executive chef’s innovative “no menu” concept, which allows for more experiential dining. Simply secure your table with your villa host for an intimate dining experience to write home about.
Botanica: Organic Garden & Chef’s Table
Feast the senses with an outdoor chef table experience nestled into the Chef’s organic garden by the Cario river. Guests may enjoy true garden-to-fork decadence with wholesome options such as plant-based entrees paired with fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and aromatic spices sourced from the Chef’s organic garden.
Bwa Denn: Food, Art & Brewery (coming soon)
Experience a creative and cultural immersion like no other at Secret Bay’s brand-new Bwa Denn: Food, Art & Brewery. Embraced by the sights and sounds of the rainforest, the modern minimalist two-level structure features a casual gourmet restaurant on the ground floor helmed by our executive chef, a full-service bar, hip microbrewery, conference space, mini theater and cutting-edge wine cellar. Therooftop lounge and dining space with extensive ocean vistas will be home to our signature “no menu” concept, an adults-only (16+ years) experience at Secret Bay. Admire inspiring works either from the ground floor or the internally suspended view deck, sit down to hyperlocal eats like pizza with dasheen crust and sustainably-sourced sushi on the outdoor terrace, sip on craft kombucha brewed directly on-site with unique local ingredients and — above all — revel in a refreshed Nature Island experience.
In-Villa, Deck or Beach Dining
Whether you wish to dine in the comfort of your own villa, fancy an intimate set up for two on one of our quiet decks overlooking the Caribbean Sea or crave a full day with the entire family in the sand, your dedicated villa host will take care of all dining details — from setting the table and mixing cocktails to paddling a packed picnic lunch directly to you at Secret Beach. All-day eats are selected à la carte off our Island Harvest menu, featuring sea- and farm-to-table plates inspired by the island’s bounty.
Pre-Stocking
Every Secret Bay stay includes a complimentary daily full breakfast crafted in-villa by your dedicated villa host to your specifications and Organic Breakfast Basket, filled with a supply of farm fresh eggs, organic fruit, homemade granola, yogurt, bread, jam and dried fruit, coffee beans and local lemongrass and cocoa teas, pre-stocked and replenished, on request, for the duration of stay.
Guests also have the option to pre-stock their villa kitchen with their favourite foods, from specialty ingredients for a quiet evening in-villa to homemade snacks, beverages and a medley of locally-grown organic produce, all of which you may note on your pre-arrival questionnaire or request from your villa host during your stay. Whether you choose to cook in your fully-equipped European gourmet kitchen or have your villa host prepare breakfast to your specifications, you can rest assured that all ingredients are of the highest quality, sourced either on property or from nearby markets.
