Local tip
For a planned evening meal, reserve the separate restaurant service, while the Bar & Deck accepts walk-ins.

Sola Bar & Restaurant brings Sicilian character to Twin Waters, with Italian and Mediterranean influences shaping a relaxed resort dining experience. The venue sits beside a pool and lagoon, creating an easygoing setting for a casual meal, a drink or a slower gathering over food.

The lobby bar and deck provide all-day dining, with a menu designed for informal lunches and dinners. The atmosphere is suited to guests looking for a comfortable place to pause during a resort stay, as well as locals seeking a meal in a poolside setting. Cocktails add to the bar offering, while Italian-style granitas provide a chilled option with a distinctly Sicilian touch.

Sola’s food style combines familiar Italian foundations with Mediterranean flavours. The restaurant’s more formal evening menu focuses on careful preparation, house-made elements, seafood, handmade pasta, considered main courses and desserts. Local produce is part of the approach, with the menu built around straightforward ingredients and modern Italian technique rather than an overly elaborate presentation.

Dining at Sola is divided between the casual Bar & Deck and the separate restaurant space. The Bar & Deck offers a flexible option for relaxed dining, drinks and time beside the water, while the restaurant provides a more structured setting for an evening meal. This distinction makes the venue suitable for different occasions, from a casual daytime stop to a planned dinner.

Breakfast is also available as a buffet, with both hot and cold choices, fresh fruit, pastries and made-to-order omelettes. The breakfast format suits families and resort guests wanting a broad selection at the start of the day. Children are catered for through the family breakfast offering, adding to the venue’s practical appeal for family stays.

For Sunshine Coast visitors, Sola offers a blend of relaxed resort atmosphere and Italian-inspired dining without needing to leave Twin Waters. The pool and lagoon setting, Sicilian flavours, cocktails and choice of casual or more polished dining give the venue a versatile character. It suits couples, families, resort guests and groups seeking food and drinks in an informal waterside environment.
