Escape the ordinary.

In recent years, coconut water has become a very trendy beverage.

It’s tasty, refreshing, it’s good for you, and also happens to be Kaibo’s signature drink on the beach!

What’s more, it’s loaded with several important nutrients, including minerals that most people don't get enough of.

Here are 8 health benefits of coconut water:

Coconut water is found in young coconuts and a good source of fiber, vitamin C and several important minerals.

Coconut water contains antioxidants that protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Studies on diabetic animals suggest that coconut water may improve blood sugar control. It's also a good source of magnesium, which may increase insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

Early animal research suggests that water from coconuts may prevent kidney stones by reducing crystal and stone formation.

Animal studies suggest that coconut water may have powerful cholesterol-lowering properties.

Coconut water may help lower blood pressure and potentially decrease the risk of blood clots forming in your arteries.

Coconut water is effective at replenishing fluids and electrolytes after exercise. It is comparable to other sports beverages.

Coconut water can be consumed directly from green coconuts or bought in bottles. Avoid brands with added sugar, sweeteners or flavors.

The name pina colada comes from the Spanish translation of “strained pineapple”, an ingredient that should ideally be used in the drinks preparation.

3 Puerto Rican bartenders contest the ownership of their country’s national drink. Truth is, rum, pineapple and coconut have been mixed together pretty much since rum was first distilled, and a written reference in a travel magazine dates back to December 1922, naming the cocktail Pina Colada, but without the coconut, using lime and sugar instead.

Kaibo Pizza Menu

One of Cuba’s greatest cocktails, the classic Daiquiri is simple to make yet difficult to balance. It was supposedly invented by American engineer Jennings Stockton Cox, while working in Cuba, near the town of Daiquiri in the early 1900s, but as with most classics, there are several accounts of how the island’s local white rum, Bacardi, came to meet lime and sugar.

While Cox may have originally been the hero of the Daiquiri it would soon find a far more famous fan in Ernest Hemingway who would go on to champion it throughout his life. But while the classic mix of rum, lime and sugar - chilled to the point that it is bracingly cold and easy to slug down - is undoubtly delicious, some of these inventive twists certainly give it a run for its money. Order them today and see why.

The Kaibo Hemingway

Havana Club 3 years, lime, grapefruit, grenadine

Ernest Hemingway walks into a Cuban bar and orders the house Daiquiri, which in El Floridita happened to be a classic lime, sugar and rum conncoction blended with ice. "That's good," he says, "but I prefer it without the sugar and twice the rum." Thus the Hemingway Special was born. A few years later the genius Antonio Meilan, then head bartender, added grapefruit juice and grenadine (maraschino liqueur) to boost the flavour and add some much needed sweetness.Today if Ernest Hemingway ordered his namesake drink he'd find, probably much to his horror, the sugary liqueur that properly balances out those tart citrus juices would perhaps not be welcomed by his hardened palate. It certainly is by ours. This beautiful drink has complexity by the bucket loads but retains that sharp freshness adored by any Daiquiri drinker.

It’s an old cliché to bemoan what is compared to what used to be. But on the site of a recent full moon party (at a not-to-be-named venue) - where the sun rose over the fluoro debris and thousands of empty plastic cups from the night before - it's hard to do much else.  

The now infamous Full Moon Party has been mimicked all over the world, and at Kaibo we were one of the first to follow the celebratory notion of ‘The moon’s full, let’s get our friends together and go out!’ And Luna Del Mar was born.

There are other full moon options available, we know. But the idea of thousands of bodies writhed together in motion to pulsating house music, fuelled by cheap alcohol and magic mushroom milkshakes a rapidly rapidly sobering thought when you are surrounded by beer bottles, shattered glass, and plastic buckets.

It's all a bit depressing, but of course the descent of the average Full Moon Party into an 18-30-club-rave-on-sea has been in motion for years. Once arcane events attended by 30 or so loved-up hippies striving for some kind of spiritual experience, have now become the Full Moon raves where yet another hedonistic playpen exists for students whose idea of a spiritual experience is getting a henna tattoo.
