Local tip
A weekend reservation can pair the meal with live music and the poolside atmosphere.

Akasha Restaurant & Lounge is located 1.3 miles west of Aruna Resort and Villas in San Pedro, Belize. The restaurant combines coastal dining with an elegant setting, while the adjoining lounge provides a more relaxed place for cocktails and conversation.

The menu is built around the ingredients of the country and the surrounding Caribbean coast. Seafood forms an important part of the offering, with fresh catches complemented by locally sourced fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. The culinary approach gives native ingredients a central role while allowing the kitchen to draw on a diverse range of influences.

Akasha serves across several parts of the day, with breakfast, brunch, lunch, snacks, dinner and drinks available on its menus. That range makes the venue suitable for different kinds of visits, from a daytime meal to an evening centered on a more formal dining experience. The restaurant’s style is polished without separating the food from its local setting.

The drinks menu is part of the experience, with craft cocktails served alongside the restaurant and lounge offerings. The lounge suits diners looking for a slower setting before or after a meal, or for an evening focused on drinks rather than a full dinner. The overall character combines attentive dining with an easy island atmosphere.

Weekends bring a distinct poolside element, with live music and a lively setting alongside the food and drinks service. This gives the venue a more social feel at the end of the week while retaining its restaurant identity. Poolside ambiance also adds a casual contrast to the elegant dining room experience.

Akasha suits diners interested in locally rooted coastal cooking, as well as those seeking a restaurant and lounge for a planned meal, cocktails or a weekend outing. Reservations are available through the venue’s booking channels, and gift cards are offered for those arranging a dining experience for someone else.
