After a night of indulgence in South Beach, the DiLido Beach Club provides the perfect daytime respite. This elegant enclave, at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, has the distinction of being the only beachfront restaurant on South Beach where diners can sit right on the beach and enjoy direct views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Under the creative eye of the resort's Executive Chef Thomas Connell and Chef de Cuisine Bernardo Espinel, the DiLido Beach Club offers a gustatorial sanctuary with cuisine that is light and healthful in nature, yet heavy on sophistication and flavor. Here, the culinary focus is inspired by tastes found in the Mediterranean – a "Sun Cuisine" that's both sweet and savory and evokes a wave of succulent, refreshing flavor at every bite.

Dining at the 140-seat restaurant offers guests a relaxing beachside respite for both lunch and dinner in a beautiful Moroccan-inspired setting. Hanging lanterns, swinging hammocks, bright flowers, day beds and white draping curtains create the mystique of Arabian Nights.

The DiLido Beach Club is open for lunch beginning at noon and dinner every evening until 10 p.m.; serving cocktails until 11 p.m.
