Picture a beach vacation and you are bound to conjure up an image of sitting at a sun-dappled shack, gazing at the waves with a cocktail in hand. On a breezy evening, we find ourselves sunning with tropical birds at Yazu, the pan Asian beach club, and the new kid to enter Goa's sandy shores. It so happens that we are not on vacation. But if this is work, let us be toiling till the end of days.

The 130-seater beach club-cum-dining space on Candolim beach, is backed by restaurateurs Atul Chopra, Gurmeet Arora and Ranbir Nagpal. It was a year ago that the trio launched Yazu in Andheri West. Forget Goa, even expansion within Mumbai wasn't on their radar until opportunity came knocking at the door.
