The lighting, menu, table settings, and the daytime space transform, offering a high-level à la carte dining experience, with an excellent mixology proposal, both classic and signature.
Santa Yuca
The slow food experience restaurant. Santa Yuca proudly forms part of the Yubarta wellness area, emphasizing fresh and sustainable products, inviting diners to take their time to eat mindfully. The creative menu, offering breakfast, lunch, and healthy poolside snacks, is rich in local ingredients, many of which are grown in our organic garden. Designed by our team of chefs and mixologists and supervised by nutritionists, its culinary proposal seeks personal well-being while advocating for a healthy respect for the environment.
Senda
The Dominican cuisine restaurant. The entrance transports you to another world through a tunnel of vegetation that invites you to take flight. The space is inspired by the work of legendary Dominican poet Pedro Mir, referencing his work "Hay un país en el mundo," and takes diners on a surprising journey through local cuisine and culture where the delights of this fertile land are paired with exceptional wines used as guides to explore the island's history and traditions. Each space and environment take the diner through its geography and customs, creating a sensory experience like no other. Senda, the resort's most emblematic gastronomic experience, offers visitors a magnificent complement to the exceptional all-inclusive offer, providing local chefs with the opportunity to showcase their potential and passion for their land.
Manaya
In the Dominican Republic, wood-fired meat is deeply rooted in tradition. At Manaya, we elevate this art to the highest level. The restaurant itself invites you to immerse yourself in the primal and ancestral side of our species. Stone, wood, and fire, natural materials, decorate an austere and elegant space where a viewpoint to the jungle emphasizes the idea of naturalness. You will find top-quality meats and cuts.
Olah
To the rhythm of Cayo Levantado's unique nature, the Beach Club Olah, which includes the pool with its bar and restaurant, pays homage to the peaceful and undulating waters of Samaná Bay. An idyllic place for relaxation and sharing, with a wide variety of options for enjoyment, entertainment, and dining.
Just steps from the sand, the Beach Club Olah's pool is one of the resort's highlights. With an infinity design, it harmoniously integrates with the beautiful beach surrounding it. Here guests can enjoy delicious water and sun baths, pleasant walks along the paths that traverse the well-kept tropical surroundings, and a gastronomic offer designed for every moment of the day (and night).

Here, nature directly supplies the resort's kitchens, offering a variety of fruits, vegetables, and fresh herbs harvested at their peak. By opting for local products, the resort not only ensures the freshness and quality of the ingredients but also supports local farmers and contributes to the community's economic development.
