At The Calm Palm, we don’t believe in boring standard menus. We want your culinary experience to be just as individual as the rest of your stay. That’s why we offer a very special service for all seafood lovers.
You decide what goes on your plate. Are you in the mood for king prawns, fresh tuna, or perhaps a specific local fish you’ve always wanted to try? Simply let us know your wishes the evening before. We will personally take your request and take care of everything for you the next morning.

While You Are Fast Asleep, We Are Already on the Move
Early in the morning, while you are still sleeping peacefully, we are already on our way.
