The sexy new Peri Peri Beach Club on Benguerra Island launched in December last year.
Part of Azura Retreats, the beach club celebrates Mozambique’s Portuguese history in the tiled decor and spicy menu and guests can sample fresh seafood dishes such as crab casquinhas as well as magnums of French rosé wine from the Azura owners’ chateau in France.
They can also create their own cocktails and barbecue the freshest local prawns and steaks on their own personal grills before watching movies under the stars at the open-air cinema. azura-retreats.com
Situated right on Brighton Beach, Ohso Social is a super-cool venue, with a large, heated terrace, open all day, every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You can also go for sundown cocktails, when the starlings dart artfully between the piers.
With state-of-the-art sound and lighting, along with a host of big-name DJS, it’s also the perfect place to meet friends for drinks and good times until the early hours. ohsobrighton.co.uk sandals.co.uk/south-coast
