Experience Luna Del Mar by Hannah Reid , Cayman Free Press, May 28th 2010

Celebrate full moon magic away from the hustle and bustle of the Seven Mile Beach strip, up in North Side where the Kaibo Beach Bar and Grill hosts its monthly Luna Del Mar event.

Celebrating its third anniversary this Friday, 25th June, Luna Del Mar offers diners the chance to enjoy a unique atmosphere beneath the light of the full moon.

Held on the white sand beach outside the restaurant, guests sit with their toes in the sand on colourful pillows at a low table, or at a traditional table with chairs beside the lapping waves.

The á la carte menu changes monthly and is designed by Executive Chef Laurence Tham, who brings Michelin Star experience and knowledge to the shores of the North Sound.

In addition to appetisers, entrées and wines, guests can also sip on mojitos made with home-grown mint from the Havana Club Rum Mojito Bar.

A paper lantern display and chill-out music provided by a DJ, also help to set a mood that is worlds apart from any other full moon celebration on-island.

“The atmosphere is romantic and magical,” said Ms Pettinati. “Fairy lights, lit flower displays, naked flame torches… all add to the atmosphere.”

“The live DJ music is relaxing and uplifting,” she said. “It offers a sound not usually heard around Cayman, and a chance to dance barefoot after dinner is over. The event also gives boaters an incentive to get out on the moonlit water by offering free docking to diners.

To celebrate three years of success, Kaibo is offering guests a special opportunity this month: “As a gift… Luna del Mar will offer a complimentary yoga class starting at 6pm, followed by cocktails and dinner and then special guest passes to the after party upstairs, hosted by Minx,” Ms Pettinati explained.
