Gandhara is one of the more upmarket spots in the Malvarossa beach area. Trendy, fashionable young crowd turns up in their nice cars to dance to the latest commercial house, R&B and pop. It is a fairly small place with everyone close together, spilling over the dance floor for a banter, and usually fairly energetic. Expect a touch of self-consciousness. Both the guys and the girls will make all the effort to look good. But Gahdara's unique selling point is the chillout area open from midday. The roof terrace with a Buddha theme is an extra 10 euros to get in, and tends to be for a more affluent and mature clientele to take it easy under the summer moon with a lounge and ambience soundtrack and a wide selection of exotic cocktails. See the website to get a feel. Gandhara closes completely from November to April inclusive.
