    DINING:

    • One of the true highlights of an Orpheus Experience is the cuisine. The restaurant is bordered by rainforest in a relaxed, open-air setting and offers wonderful views across the ocean.

    Dining at Orpheus is an indulgence - from breakfast, to alfresco lunches in the courtyard, and finally each evening a seven course degustation-style gourmet dinner. The chef prepares a new menu daily with the emphasis being on seafood and exotic delicacies.
