The latest venture from seasoned designer and restaurateur Nicholas Mathers aims to transport guests from Los Angeles to the Southern Mediterranean all whilst staying in the heart of Santa Monica. The menu is light coastal Italian and the three bars on the property offer a variety of fun, approachable cocktails inspired by the flavors of Italy as well as a collection of natural wines. Élephante Beach House is full of custom furniture and design touches that surround the guests with natural wood and stone, copper finishes, and design pieces from Northern Africa and Southern Italy. Élephante is a place to come and relax, where a tranquil afternoon can turn into decadent dinner, into a lively evening late night with the innovative cocktail program and vibrant night scene.
