Members always remark about the incredible “wow” factor they experience when driving through the front gates for the first time. They talk about the gorgeous golf course, the majestic palm trees, and the romantic water feature. It’s an exciting sense of arrival which only accentuates the anticipation for the truly unique dining adventure that awaits.
It’s this emotional connection and the feeling of being on vacation that led us to explore names for the new restaurant, and Palma Kitchen + Tap was the clear winner. Keeping with the Club’s Mediterranean inspiration, we decided upon “Palma” for two reasons; the first being that Palma is the capitol of Spain’s largest island, Mallorca (sound familiar?). The second is that “palma” is the Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese word for “palm”, a staple to the entry experience of our community.

While the atmosphere is sophisticated, it also blends beautifully with the Mediterranean architectural theme of La Casa. The upscale design gives guests a warm and comfortable feeling that easily transports you to Europe. The open design easily segues to the outdoors, offering diners the opportunity for casual intimate evenings under Encanterra’s palms.
Palma Kitchen + Tap Opens March 24th
Palma Kitchen + Tap will open for full service beginning Wednesday, March 24th from 11:00am – 8:00pm. We are very excited to show off the new restaurant, create delicious cuisine, and provide Members and their guests with exceptional service.

- Close Mallorca on Monday and Tuesday, March 22nd and 23rd for kitchen and server training. Explorations, Solaz, and Tapas at The Algarve will be open for food service.
- Serve our full menu, from starters to desserts and every cocktail in-between beginning on Wednesday.
- Seat the new restaurant, patio and bar at half-capacity from March 24th – 28th to allow our servers and kitchen staff to excel at delivering high service standards and expedient ticket times.
- Reservations will be taken online through OpenTable, click here to make reservations (please note: the OpenTable link has been set for Member’s only usage so you will not find it for public use on the App. OpenTable is still updating the name of the restaurant so it may still show Bistro 1528). Sorry, no walk-ins.
