A day at the table
The bay is flat and the table is empty. The best two hours of the day for deep work.
A Tuna Poke Bowl, a Veggie Bowl or Avo Toast, with a fresh juice. Or take it to the sand.
A swim, a hammock, twenty minutes with no screen. It is why you came to this coast.
Stay for the sunset. The pass ends, the day does not have to.
House rules
Good to know
It is a beach club with one table of 20 seats kept for working. No printers and no meeting rooms: a good seat, sockets at almost every table (and an extension lead if you need one), Wi-Fi, food and the sea.
We measured it on 13 November 2026: 72 Mbps down, 23 Mbps up, 10 ms ping (Speedtest, on SLT-Mobitel). If the power goes, a generator takes over. On a local SIM, SLT-Mobitel is the one with good signal here.
No. Ohana is open to the sea air, with no indoor or air-conditioned room. The work table is in the shade, with the breeze from the bay.
Yes. Order from the menu and work from any table. The pass keeps you a seat at the work table with power, and costs less than ordering the same things one by one.
Yes. Write to us with the number of people and the day: we set the table for you.
