When it comes to the beach bars on South Friars Bay in St. Kitts, there is one beach bar that stands out for its sheer magnificence – Carambola Beach Club. With most of the beach bars on this popular stretch of beach leaning towards the “shack” type on the beach bar spectrum, Carambola, just as it has on the beach, has claimed the opposite side. With concrete, stone and modern amenities abounding, the owners of Carambola set their sights on a section of beach bar bums not typically found at the other beach bars down the way.
Promoting itself as a “culinary experience” and “a whole new approach to beachside pampering,” Carambola’s walls hold a 128 seat restaurant, bathrooms with showers and a 4000 bottle wine cellar, probably more wine than the rest of the beach bars on South Friars sell in a year. There’s nothing wrong with that. After all, Carambola is more beach “club” than beach “bar.” For those of you looking for a little more pampering than sand without giving up the view, Carambola Beach Club is the place you need to visit on St. Kitts.
