Al fresco dining is one of the best parts of summer and while patio season lasts just a few months in Canada, it’s always outdoor dining season in the tropics. To help you get inspired for your next vacation, we put together some of our favourite outdoor dining venues in paradise, from cliffside patios to rooftop restaurants and cafés with stunning ocean views.

Sip your morning coffee overlooking El Arco in Los Cabos

Start your day in style at Capuchino café at the adults only Riu Palace Baja California. This stylish coffee shop is located on a balcony overlooking the beach and the famous rocky landscapes of Los Cabos, including the iconic El Arco. Order your favourite tea or coffee beverage, pair it with a pastry and enjoy the morning breeze off the Pacific Coast. Afterwards, head down to the sprawling infinity pool to soak up the sun with convenient poolside wait service.

Savour lunch by a glamorous rooftop pool in Cancun

Take a break from the heat and enjoy lunch with a view in Cancun! The Level 18 Rooftop Cabana Lounge at the adults only Royalton CHIC Suites Cancun Resort and Spa offers panoramic views of Cancun’s Hotel Zone, the Caribbean Sea and the Nichupte Lagoon. Spend the morning lounging by the rooftop pool before grabbing a bite to eat from the outdoor restaurant serving dishes like fish tacos, fresh salads, sushi, burgers and more. An exclusive menu is included for Diamond Club™ guests, while food and beverages are available for purchase for all other guests.

Watch the sunset from a clifftop in St. Maarten

Savour delicious Mediterranean cuisine as you watch the sunset over the coast of St. Maarten from a cliffside patio!
