Are children allowed to visit Calma Beach Club ?

Yes we are very child friendly! We have a kids menu available all day and our shallow beach is the perfect place for children to swim. Please just be conscious that there is no lifeguard on Holetown Beach and there are some motorised boats and jet-skis around, so always exercise caution.

Do you cater for different dietary requirements?

We pride ourselves on being one of the only places in Barbados to offer both a Gluten Free and a Vegan Menu, on top of our regular menu. Please always make your server aware of any allergies and intolerances. Please also note that both our kitchen and bar are very small and whilst we do everything we can to ensure complete safety of our guests, we cannot rule out the possibility of cross-contamination.

Can I bring my own food/drinks if I am on your sun-loungers?

Our sunloungers are part of our restaurant so we don't permit you to bring in outside food or drinks to your lounger, just as you wouldn't to a restaurant.

Can I bring my own special bottle of wine/champagne?

You are welcome to bring in a bottle if you'd prefer, we charge a corkage fee of $50 per bottle.

Do you offer watersports and snorkels etc ?

We don’t have watersports available to rent from Calma Beach Club, but there are plenty of independent licensed beach vendors and motorised boat operators on Holetown Beach that can provide you with an array of watersports. Please just be aware that Calma Beach Club accepts no responsibility for any injury or damage that occurs.

Does the service charge go to the staff?

Yes, 100% of the service charge that is added to your bill goes to the staff. This is split equally between all our staff, from cleaners to kitchen porters, to chefs and food runners. This also includes tips added to your credit/debit card payment, should you choose to do so.

If your server or bartender, or any member of staff for that matter, has done a particularly good job and you wish to show them some extra appreciation, cash tips are kept by the individual and are always welcomed.

Can we store our luggage at Calma Beach Club?

We are limited on space at Calma Beach Club therefore have nowhere private that they can we stored. We do have space for up to 4 suitcases, but this is in our dining area and not in a locked area, so luggage is left at your own risk.

Is there parking outside?

We are situated on a public beach and share our parking space with the local beach vendors, fishermen and the occasional boat! This means that parking is extremely limited and at times cars can get blocked in. There may be some spaces available but we do recommend arriving by taxi, or parking in Holetown and making the short walk down First Street.

Is there a dress code?

We pride ourselves in being a place of inclusivity and comfortability for all our guests. Therefore, we have no dress code at Calma Beach Club.

Do you have a handicapped/disabled entrance?

We have a ramp for wheelchair access into the restaurant, and a disabled toilet in both our male and our female toilets. Access to the beach is via steps and therefore may not be accessible to those in wheelchairs or those less mobile.

Do you have decorations?

We don't have decorations for tables, other than for special events. You are welcome to bring your own and we can decorate your table with them however, any balloons you bring in must be already blown up. Also please be aware that plastic confetti is not permitted at any time, due to the protection of our beach and marine life.

Where are you located?

We are on Holetown Beach, at the bottom of First Street in Holetown. If driving, please turn down Second Street (by Nishi and Beth & Tracie), follow the road round to the left at Mango Bay Hotel, then when you arrive at One Love Bar, turn right and follow the road to the beach. If walking, please turn down First Street in Holetown, by Chestertons, and follow the road all the way down to the beach.

Can we bring our own birthday cake?

You are welcome to bring your own birthday cake and we do not charge a fee for this. During busier times, we would like to make you aware that we may not be able to cut it and distribute it for you, but if/when we are able to we will.

Can I book a specific table for my reservation?

Whilst you are welcome to request an area of your preference when you book, we can't guarantee specific tables as we may need to allocate them to other bookings, due to time and availability.

We can't wait to welcome you to Calma Beach Club.
