No alcohol · by choice
No alcohol here. Nobody misses it.
Ohana is an alcohol-free beach club and restaurant on Turtle Beach, Dikwella. It is the reason the bay is quiet at sunset, the reason families stay for dinner, and the reason the drinks list is the most interesting page of the menu.
- Mocktails made to order
- Ayurvedic elixirs

Why
A choice we made, first of all for health.
Ohana is a place to feel well: food cooked fresh, the sea, a long day in the sun that ends with a clear head. Leaving alcohol out was a conscious choice, and above all a choice for health.
We also want our doors open to everyone: families and small children, grandparents, our Muslim guests, anyone who would rather spend an evening without drinks around them. Nobody has to wonder whether this is their kind of place.
And we like the calm it keeps. No loud tables at sunset, none of the trouble that drinking can bring. The loudest thing in the evening is the bay.

Good to know
Questions people ask us
Can I bring my own alcohol?
No, please. The whole place is alcohol-free, and that is what the people around you came for. The one exception is a private event, when Ohana is closed to the public for you.
Is it a religious rule?
No. It is a conscious choice, above all for health, and so that everybody feels at home here, whatever they believe.
What do you serve instead?
Mocktails made to order, fresh juices and smoothies, house iced teas, Ayurvedic elixirs, king coconut, specialty coffee and matcha.
Is the evening lively without it?
It is quiet, and that is the point. Candles, low music, dinner on the sand, a fire on Sunday.
