Candlelit garden seating on plush chairs and couches provides a romantic setting for
'after-beach' drinks, or for feasting on homemade pasta, pizza and desserts.
Drinking & Nightlife
A cluster of clubs in Punta's port area stays open all year (weekends only in low season).
During the super-peak season from Christmas through January, an additional slew of
beach clubs with ever-changing names open along Playa Brava, on the beach road to La
Barra.
Bear in mind that it's social suicide to turn up at a nightclub before 2am here. In gener-
al, Punta's bars stay open as long as there's a crowd and sometimes have live music on
weekends.
