The restaurant is beautifully situated right on the water, offering sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea.

Additional Information
NOVA’s menu is built around fusion: Mediterranean and Japanese elements balanced with local influences and produce. Some signature small plates include raw and grilled oysters, a selection of sushi, beef and parmesan gyoza dumplings and fresh salads. For larger or more substantial options, things like grilled branzino, spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare, and the NOVA burger are prominent favourites among diners.
The cocktail and drinks menus are equally creative, offering seaside inspired concoctions, mocktails, classic cocktails with twists, and inventive pairings to complement both lunchtime light dishes and richer dinners.
Ambience plays a key role in what makes NOVA stand out. Evenings are ideal: sunset views, gentle sea breezes, candlelight, and a backdrop of the ocean make for a romantic setting. During daylight hours it shifts more to a relaxed, breezy, casual vibe. Poolside loungers, sun, cocktails and light bites. The open air design invites a mix of sea, sky and food in a way that feels both luxurious and laid back.
NOVA is a destination restaurant, whether for a sunset dinner, a special gathering, or a leisurely lunch by the sea. It combines great food, thoughtful design, and a mood that strikes a balance between relaxed vacation mode and elevated dining.
