Marvelously hidden in the depths of San Rafael this chilled out bar, restaurant and ‘motel’ is where BarChick brings her lovers when she doesn’t want to be disturbed. 10 guest rooms are arranged around a retro, Olympic length, salt-water swimming pool and the bar is an old camper van in the garden, rad.

Luscious green space is divided by cabanas and hammocks swing from the trees. Get your Andy Murray on (kinda) over the miniature tennis net before tucking into homemade bar snacks. Never crowded, you’ll always get a sun bed here, unless you rock up for DJ Sneak’s Sunday BBQ sessions that is. Owner Diego Foti has kept this joint seriously under wraps and we love him for it, oh and did we mention that it’s a child free zone?

If you’re looking to kick-back in the sun but you ain’t into sand (no judgment) then this is paradise. The whole place is available to hire for days, nights and weeks on end and BarChick can only imagine the kind of shenanigans that could go down here.
