Bringing to life La
Laguna in 2014, Spanish Gypsy heritage couple Gonzalo and Sandra Assiego
created this gypsy inspired boho-chic beach club. They’re love for animals found them creating
their little patch of boho paradise on the sands that border Batu Belig and
Berawa. Creating a little lagoon around the entire little gypsy restaurant.
We came to La Laguna
quite hung-over with the girls in hopes of a yummy brunch to help cure the
banging headaches and urges to want to sleep.
Luckily our waiter who
greeted us near the little gypsy caravans that line the driveway as you walk in
down (suitable for cute little private party spaces) knew exactly what was up
and put us at a table that was actually a day lounge on one side and two little
stools for the girls on the other.
The atmosphere and décor
at La Laguna are to die for, literally what a designers dreams are made of. I
couldn’t stop looking around in every direction, snapping pics as I went along.
We laid down on the
lounge and the girls explored the beach and little tee-pee on the sand. They
found a little temple and plenty of little squirrels scurrying in the tree
branches, waiting for guests left overs patiently.
When the girls couldn't take the heat anymore out on the beach they wandered back and played some Jenga (La Laguna also provides games for the big and little kids). And coloured in their menus designed with kids activities incorporated into the menu.
We ordered some healthy
light brunches- avocado on sourdough toast with peas and spinach and then a
spicy fish taco.
The girls ordered chicken and chips, they went the safe option
as they were a little weary of the Spanish inspired menu.
The food was beautifully presented and filled
us up perfectly. I just cant get over the backdrop, watching the waves crash in
a boho hippy little paradise town of it’s own. You literally feel like you’ve
transported to Spain somewhere!
After lounging about
like scallops we decided it was time to shut the shells and get a move on
again. We walked around the gypsy village before walking down the bridge to the
beach- this is the beach you see on every insta pic of La Laguna.
If you get a chance,
this place is the perfect place to come whether it be for breakfast, lunch or
dinner- their menu looks like it has a yummy array of food on there.
