LUMA Mediterranean Kitchen Brings a Taste of the Mediterranean to Lake Sumter Landing

A fresh new dining experience from FMK Hospitality Group is already making waves in The Villages.

The newest addition to Lake Sumter Landing is officially open, and if the first week is any indication, LUMA Mediterranean Kitchen is quickly becoming a favorite.

FMK Hospitality Group celebrated the grand opening of its newest LUMA location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 2, welcoming guests to the new restaurant at 975 Lake Shore Drive along the waterfront at Lake Sumter Landing. The celebration marked an exciting milestone for FMK and the second LUMA Mediterranean Kitchen location in The Villages.

And the response from the community has been outstanding.

Fresh, Flavorful and Made Your Way

LUMA brings a modern take on Mediterranean dining to The Villages with a fast-casual concept built around fresh ingredients, bold flavors and plenty of choices.

Guests can create their own Mediterranean-inspired bowls and pitas by choosing from a variety of bases, proteins, fresh vegetables, toppings, seasonings and sauces. Options include favorites such as shawarma chicken, Mediterranean shrimp, lamb, gyro and falafel, along with jasmine rice, Persian black lentils, fresh greens and other flavorful ingredients.

For those looking for something lighter or following a specific dietary preference, LUMA also offers gluten-free and vegan options.

The result is a dining experience that is both flavorful and flexible—whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, meeting friends for a casual meal or enjoying dinner with family.

LUMA's menu is inspired by the sun-soaked coasts of the Mediterranean, combining fresh ingredients, vibrant spices and creative combinations to create food that feels both wholesome and satisfying.

A Bright New Look at Lake Sumter Landing

The food isn't the only thing making an impression.

The new Lake Sumter Landing restaurant was designed to capture the warmth, energy and colorful spirit of the Mediterranean. Bright Mediterranean-inspired colors, decorative tile, patterned wallpaper and carefully selected finishes give the interior a vibrant personality while maintaining a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

The design was an important part of bringing the LUMA vision to life. Rather than creating a traditional restaurant interior, FMK wanted the space to feel bright, energetic and welcoming—a place that reflects the fresh and colorful food being served.

The combination of bold colors, textures and Mediterranean-inspired details gives the restaurant a distinctive look that feels right at home along the waterfront at Lake Sumter Landing.

The location itself adds another special element. Guests can enjoy LUMA just steps from the energy of the Lake Sumter Landing square while taking in the beautiful waterfront setting.

A Growing LUMA Family

The Lake Sumter Landing restaurant is the second LUMA location in The Villages, following the success of the original location at Sawgrass Grove.

Since its debut, LUMA has quickly developed a following among residents looking for something fresh, flavorful and different. The Lake Sumter Landing location builds on that success while bringing the concept to a new part of the community.

For FMK Hospitality Group, the opening represents another step in the company's continued growth and commitment to bringing unique dining concepts and genuine hospitality to The Villages.

After months of planning, construction and putting the finishing touches on the space, the doors are finally open—and the community has already responded with enthusiasm.
