Swanky Mediterranean is now on the menu at SkyBeach Resort.
The January opening of Luma (stylized in all-caps) marked the south St. Petersburg hotel’s third culinary concept since its 2024 relaunch.
Alongside SkyBar + Grille and Paradeco Coffee Roasters, the restaurant occupies a waterfront space designed to serve resort guests, visitors and locals alike.
Luma’s menu centers on shareable Mediterranean fare with Gulf Coast influences. Offerings include house-made breads and spreads as part of a mezze program, Florida Gulf ceviche, gambas al ajillo, watermelon and feta, whole roasted fish and fire-grilled skewers, positioning the restaurant for both casual and full-service dining.
The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Ryan VanDusen, who has held leadership roles at Soho House Chicago and the Don CeSar.
The drink menu includes cocktails with Mediterranean herbs, citrus and spices. The restaurant also introduced a weekly Friday night DJ in the lounge and offers dock-and-dine access through the SkyBeach Marina.
Luma is open 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday; 5 p.m.- 11 p.m. Friday-Saturday and closed Monday and Tuesday.
