Elements Restaurant Aruba – Oceanfront Dining with a Sustainable Soul

Located on Eagle Beach at the adults-only Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, Elements offers a serene and elegant dining experience with panoramic ocean views. Specializing in European and Caribbean cuisine, the restaurant serves sustainably sourced dishes on a breezy beachfront deck. For something unforgettable, reserve a private palapa for a six-course sunset or moonlight dinner—peaceful, phone-free, and cashless, perfect for couples seeking a truly romantic evening in Aruba.

Lunch with Island Breeze

Elements' lunch menu blends coastal comfort with wellness-forward choices. Start with the Mediterranean Onion Soup—caramelized onion broth topped with toasted baguette and gouda—or the vibrant Mahi-Mahi Ceviche with homemade citrus fruit leche de tigre and crispy corn chips. Seafood lovers can savor chilled Shrimp Cocktail, Salmon Crudo with local burrata, or Tuna Pita served with fries.

Vegetarians and vegans will find plenty to love, from Sweet n' Spicy Chicken Bites (with a plant-based option) to Moroccan Eggplant, Octopus Burrata, and golden-seared Bucuti Funchi. Wellness bowls highlight fresh vegetables, grains, and proteins such as seared tofu, grilled chicken, or hearts of palm.

Vegan & Wellness Offerings

Elements is known for its extensive vegan and gluten-free selections. Enjoy Mediterranean Onion Soup with vegan cheese, Moroccan Eggplant with plant-based dressing, crispy Vegan Falafel Bites, or the Bucuti Acai Bowl topped with tropical fruit. The Bucuti Tofu Bowl, Heart of Palm & Artichokes salad, and Avocado Toast ensure that every guest can discover a nourishing option.

Lunch Favorites & Tacos

Pair a visit to the unlimited salad and antipasti bar with mains such as Jerk Chicken Tacos, Fish Tacos, or Crispy Chicken Quesadillas—each served with guacamole and signature sauces. Vegan guests can opt for Jerk Tofu Tacos, Crispy Vegan Quesadillas, Veggie Patty Sandwiches, or Seared Tofu Wraps, all crafted with house-made salsas and spreads.
