A Salinas-style chiringuito (beach bar-cafe) to the San An area. It's infinitely cool and relaxed, even if a bit of an oddity on its raised terrace at the bottom of a large, basic, 60s apartment block. Kasbah's situation matters little though, location is what counts, or more precisely, viewpoint. A palm leaf roof masks the block above and eyes instead focus on a fabulous overview of their own beach, across the languid sexiness of neighbouring Kanya, then out to sea for a perfect sunset view. A neat new 'gentlemen's club' bar has been added, well suited to intimate late night gatherings with its leather Chesterfields and huge bed. Yet Kasbah is in its element during afternoon and early evening, especially popular as a meeting place for the club hierarchy, San An DJs and other island movers and shakers. That's partly due to the great food and inventive menu (it's not the cheapest, so the under-funded tend to hang elsewhere). Mostly though it's preferred for a laid-back, un-pushy ambience - you can actually hear yourself talk without straining to the heavy rhythmic throb of a club soundtrack, the chilled vibes and sunshine proving a winning combination.
