Hidden inside a convent dating from the 17th century and opening out back to a courtyard garden strung with coloured light bulbs, this multipurpose venue hosts regular live music (Cuban, jazz, African, classical and more), DJs, artistic performances, fashion shows, cinema nights and art exhibitions in the cavernous interior.

Detox weekend brunch includes superfood salads.
