We light the fire.
With our feet in the sand, the waves behind us and the fire beside us, we take a moment to slow down. Reflect on the week, share, set an intention, practise a little gratitude. Come as you are.

The Ocean Treasures Workshop.
Guided through the process, you discover how natural materials can become something meaningful: a piece of jewellery that carries a little of the ocean wherever you go.
More than making jewellery, it is a chance to slow down, to reconnect with nature and to make something with your own hands.

Your own event
A birthday, a proposal, a long table.
A table for twenty on the sand, a quiet dinner for two with the fire lit for you, a retreat that needs a shala and a kitchen. Tell us what you have in mind.
We host birthdays, long tables, retreats, weddings, proposals and anniversaries, and company events.
For a proposal or an anniversary we set a table apart, bring flowers or petals (at a price), order a cake, write your words on the plate, and call a photographer we know, or take the pictures ourselves.
When Ohana is closed to the public for your event, it is the one time you may bring your own alcohol.
What guests say
In their own words
The Shala has a beautiful sea view and they host cultural and creative workshops.The little bonus is the bonfire at night!The magic word
Say “Ohana hug”
You found us here, so here is a little secret. Say it at the till when you order and a Ceylon Cinnamon Iced Tea is on us.
One for the table, with anything you order, on your first visit after reading this.
