The Boon Beach Bar & Restaurant
Beachfront dining on Simpson Bay Beach at Mary's Boon, open to everyone
Why Go
The Boon Beach Bar & Restaurant is the dining heart of Mary's Boon Hotel on Simpson Bay Beach, and you don't need to be a hotel guest to eat here. The beachfront setting — tables on the sand with the Caribbean lapping nearby — creates the kind of dinner atmosphere that justifies getting dressed up or staying in your beach clothes, depending on your mood. The kitchen serves Caribbean and international cuisine that stands on its own, regardless of the resort connection.
The Experience
Dining at The Boon means sand under your feet and the ocean in front of you. The beachfront tables are lit warmly in the evening, creating a romantic ambiance that couples particularly love. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served, making it a versatile spot throughout the day. The colonial charm of Mary's Boon provides an architectural backdrop that newer beach bars lack. Service is attentive but unhurried — this is island dining at its most elegant casual. The Simpson Bay Beach location means planes occasionally pass overhead, which guests find charming rather than disruptive.
What to Try
Evening dinner on the beach is the main event — the Caribbean-international menu shines when paired with sunset and candlelight. Breakfast is an underrated option, with the morning light on the water creating a peaceful start to your day. The cocktail program takes advantage of the setting. Fresh seafood is always a strong choice given the beachfront location.
Insider Tip
Non-hotel guests are welcome but reservations are strongly recommended for dinner, especially during high season and weekends. Request a table as close to the water as possible. The restaurant benefits from Mary's Boon's reputation for quality, so the kitchen maintains standards higher than your average beach bar. Early evening arrivals get the best sunset timing.
