Review: Playa Pacha

Playa Pacha, FIVE LUXE JBR’s latest beach and pool club, has quickly become the go-to spot at the beachfront destination. With Ibiza-inspired beats from resident DJs and a lively vibe, it’s the perfect place to soak up the sun and enjoy some top-notch entertainment from Pacha’s legendary lineup.

The club features four expansive pools, including a dedicated family area, for a refreshing respite. Guests can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dishes while lounging on stylish white sunbeds, lounges, and chairs, accented by the iconic Pacha red cherry. Relaxing poolside, immersed in the water, or in a cabana, experience an undeniably glamorous ambience.

Culinary highlights

After a refreshing dip in the inviting pool, our appetites began to stir. To kickstart our adventure, we opted for the Tuna tataki. The yellowfin tuna was sliced beautifully, and the combination of mandarins, pickled onions, and ponzu added a refreshing touch. Next, the Popcorn shrimp arrived, featuring tender, crispy shrimp complemented by a bright, citrusy yuzu ranch.

Intrigued by the menu’s further offerings, we decided to explore more. The spicy Popcorn chilli chicken, featuring fried chicken coated in Schezwan chilli glaze, added a fiery kick. For a lighter option, the Avocado dip was a delightful choice, with cassava, plantain, and corn tortilla chips offering a satisfying crunch, and the dip itself being creamy and flavoursome.

In addition, Playa Pacha lives up to its promise with a creative beverage menu featuring visually striking presentations and an array of concoctions, all crafted to perfection.
