This innovative cooking method enhances the flavors of fish, seafood, premium cuts of meat, and seasonal vegetables, all finished over natural binchotan and oak coals."

Aptly named after the Italian word for 'light', Luma combines Italian culinary tradition with the natural beauty of its coastal surroundings, marking a new chapter in the resort's culinary landscape."
