Food and drink at YL Residence No.17

• Hotel restaurant

  The airy beachfront Clubhouse is simply furnished by Antonio 'Budji' Layug with grey rattan chairs, teak tables and a gourmet kitchen. Slide back the glass doors and let the sea breeze waft in as you graze upon a menu concocted by ex-Necker Island chefs Graham Brundle and Reuben Kimber. Using local and homegrown organic produce, including fresh seafood, they can cater for any diet. The smaller Pool Room has its own bar and is a more intimate spot for lunch or dinner.

• Dress code Bikini, sarong, shorts or linen shirt – wear whatever you would at home if home was a mansion in the tropics.
• Top table With five kitchens, you can choose where to dine: on the beach, lawn, the Clubhouse main suite or your room.
• Last orders YL's restaurant mainly sees action from 7am–11pm, but you can arrange meal times to suit your needs or order late-night snacks. The well-stocked bar closes when you decide it should.
• Room service 24 hours. Just ask for whatever you want. There's also an around-the-clock concierge service.
• Hotel bar

  The bar opens at 11am and stays that way until all guests have drifted off to bed. Order any drink you like (mojitos are a must), plug in your iPod or check out the Residence’s tunes. For parties or weddings, you can even organise a DJ.
