FOC SENTOSA
About Us
FOC Sentosa is a Mediterranean Restaurant and Beach Club inspired by Barcelona’s world-famous beach culture, the second outlet opened by FOC Group. In line with the island’s cheery atmosphere, FOC Sentosa transforms from a relaxing morning hangout to an idyllic Mediterranean lunch spot and, come night time, a vibrant gastronomic getaway. Combining truly Mediterranean fare, including Paellas, large-format grilled meats and seafood, summery drinks and a sophisticated yet laid-back atmosphere, the striking two-storey locale is the epitome of stylish beachside living.
Located at the east end of tranquil Palawan Beach, the tasteful and airy beachfront space is resplendent with bright interiors and panoramic views of the sea from the second-storey private events space, which can be reserved and transformed to accommodate intimate beach weddings, private parties or corporate events. Seamlessly transitioning between indoor and outdoor spaces, FOC Sentosa caters to a variety of experiences—from beach daybeds and a spacious pool deck to a breezy alfresco terrace and an indoor bar and restaurant to escape the heat. FOC Sentosa was designed by lauded Barcelona-based design firm, Lagranja, and famous Barcelona designer, Javier Mariscal.
