Cocktails afloat a bamboo raft: Could this be the world’s best bar?

WHILE enjoying a cocktail, floating on the clear waters of one of the Philippines’ most remote islands, it would be easy to think you were drinking in the best bar in the world.

Surrounded by calm waters and curious schools of fish, the Kawayan Bar is your own floating hut for morning picnics or sunset cocktails. #AmanInLove #amanjunkies #privateholiday

Located on the secluded island of Pamalican, the small bamboo raft bobs just offshore, offering unrivaled views of the sunsets and glimpses of the marine life below the water.

The remote nature of the island means you won’t be sharing the unique vantage point with hordes of tourists. In fact, nowhere on the island feels crowded and the low-key natural decor of the hotel stays true to the raw untouched appeal of its surroundings.

Aman soon ventured into the #Philippines in 1993 after the secluded island of #Pamalican was discovered. Embracing the entire island, Amanpulo is encircled by powdery white sand beaches and unspoilt tropical wilderness. Meaning ‘peaceful island’, #Amanpulo is exclusively accessed by private flights that land on the island’s own airstrip #Aman30 #AmanCelebrations

While Kawayan Bar at Amanpulo might top the list, it’s certainly not the only floating bar in the Philippines.

Tawhai Floating Bar in Lakawon Island gives a different vibe from the tranquillity of Amanpulo. Dubbed Asia’s biggest floating bar, Tawhai comes complete with sunbathing deck and hammocks for you to kick back and relax.

For a more rustic feel, head to the floating bar just off the coast of Bantanyan Island, Cebu. Boats will ferry you to and from this bamboo shack where both locals and travelers can drink the day away with ocean views.

So, if you like your Bloody Mary with an ocean view and fishy friends, maybe this is the best bar in the world. Just make sure you don’t have too much, as you’ll still have to swim back to shore.
