About Karma Kayak
Karma Kayak is a hidden gem on Trawangan's quieter north coast. Away from the main strip's crowds, this Dutch-owned restaurant specialises in Spanish-style tapas alongside a selection of international dishes. The beachfront location is lovely, with tables scattered across the sand under coconut palms.
The food is surprisingly refined for such a relaxed setting. Think garlic prawns, patatas bravas, grilled calamari, and Spanish cured meats. They also operate kayak and paddleboard rentals from the beach, making it easy to combine a morning on the water with lunch here.
It is the kind of place regulars return to year after year.
