For many of us summer consists of simple joys, good food, lounging in the sun, a long slow swim through a sea or ocean and then back to our sun chairs to get another shade darker before the days shorten and the weather changes. 

Few things evoke summer better than a seaside beach club. Good vibes, great music and delicious food with an ocean view allows you a great escape from a bustling city or busy schedule regardless of your tourist or local status. 

Upgrading your beach day from schlepping chairs, coolers and sandy butts to chair side service and a pool overlooking a magnificent view, is the perfect punctuation to a summer of relaxation and recharge.
