Aruba Bar And Restaurant

Aruba occupies the first floor of Bournemouth's circus tent-shaped Pier Approach building, transformed from the former Show Bar following a £1.6 million renovation. The entire south elevation was glazed to deliver 180-degree panoramic views across the bay. The interior draws on Caribbean and Miami influences, featuring 4.5-metre palm trees and a 40-metre zinc-topped bar. Evening programming centres on resident DJs playing house and commercial music, alongside dedicated live music nights.
