Restaurante Punta Sam

Discover what makes it unique

How do we coexist with nature without conquering it? How can we enjoy it without plundering it? Perhaps only by landing quietly and gently, allowing the grass to grow between the planks, letting the breeze sing through the nets, and having the sea fill the horizon beneath the ephemeral shadow of a sail at dawn, light as the ​​waves foam, while every each moment reminds us of the possible harmony between human presence and the natural world, in a subtle dialogue of respect and contemplation.

Punta Sam Restaurant seeks to blend in with the site through the use of simple materials and forms, becoming a habitable extension of nature for humans
