Restaurants
Where to eat
The easiest food options are usually around Clifton, Big Sand and Chatham Bay. Opening days change, so confirm before arranging transfers.
Big Sand
Sparrow’s Beach Club
The main Big Sand beach-lunch spot, white sand, relaxed drinks, grilled fish and seafood, and an easy swim before or after lunch.
Clifton
Bougainvilla Restaurant & Bar
A comfortable central Clifton option for pizza, evening drinks and food by the marina, one of the easiest places for visitors to find.
Local
Just Right Restaurant
A local food stop for simple plates at good prices, lunch, dinner and an informal Union Island atmosphere. Ask locally for opening times.
Near the centre
Chantackair Sherise
A handy local food stop near the kite center, great if other places are closed or you just want a simple local meal.
Chatham Bay
Tenuta Chatham Bay
A more formal Chatham Bay option, a beach setting with a poolside bar, pizzeria and sunset views over the bay.
BBQ nights
Joy’s BBQ
A simple local favourite for grilled food and an easy island evening, check which nights Joy is cooking before planning around it.
Bars
Where to drink
Union Island bars are informal, ask what’s open that week, then pick a sunset drink, a beach bar or an easy Clifton evening.
Iconic
Happy Island
The famous bar built on a conch-shell base in the lagoon near Clifton, best for a memorable drink and sunset when transfers and conditions suit.
Casual
Beach & kite bars
Good for a casual drink after a windy day. The bar area is being rebuilt and is closed at the moment, so ask us what relaxed evening options are available for your dates.
Walkable
Clifton drinks
Clifton is the easiest place to ask about casual drinks, local food and small bars, most visitor services are close together and walkable.
Nightlife & events
Small, casual and event-driven
Nightlife here is about local music, BBQ evenings, sunset drinks and asking what’s happening that week, not a fixed club schedule. Friday and Saturday evenings are usually the best times to ask about BBQ, casual food and music.
Full Moon Parties are currently on standby and not running as a regular event. If they return, we’ll update guests with current details before arrival.
Ask what’s open during your stay
Restaurant and nightlife details change quickly while the island rebuilds. If you’re booking a kite, wing or villa stay with us, ask for the current food, bar and evening options for your dates.
