Set on the resort's private beach under an open-air pavilion, with seating steps from the lagoon. By day, the menu runs to snacks, sandwiches, salads and grilled dishes; by night, Sands serves local and international cooking with a touch of Asian flavour, eaten by torchlight with Mount Otemanu across the water. A weekly beach barbecue and live music on select evenings add to the rotation. Cocktails are mixed to order, best timed for sunset over the lagoon. It is a casual counterpoint to the resort's formal dining, built around the setting rather than ceremony.
