It’s the waves crashing and raging flames.
It’s the roar of a rebellious nature.

Escape to ROAR, where we cook with live fire and
quality, local ingredients are at the centre of everything we do.

Everyone is welcome at ROAR to delight in ingredient-driven food and drink in a cozy space filled with roaring fire.

Nestled in the rainforest, ROAR makes you feel unlike anything before, but somehow, like you’ve always belonged here.
