Set right on the sand, with the Indian Ocean stretching out in front, Beach Rouge serves lunch from half past twelve to half past three. The decor leans French Riviera, all white and red, airy rather than heavy. A lounge area with scattered cushions invites guests to eat tapas or order cocktails and stay a while. The kitchen works with fresh, local, seasonal produce, much of it straight from the sea, turning out simple seasonal dishes rather than elaborate ones. By evening the same space shifts mood entirely, with DJ sets and red lighting replacing the midday calm.
