THIS ISLAND LIFE | Welcome to Cloud 9, Fiji's most amazing floating bar

If you thought sipping on cocktails by the pool at your resort was the ultimate tropical happy hour, think again. Welcome to Cloud 9 – an incredible floating two-story bar in the middle of the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji. Surrounded by clear, aqua water that you can dive into at anytime, Cloud 9 will have you wishing it were your local drinking hole.

With its chilled out bar vibe, authentic wood-fired Italian pizza oven, panoramic island views and access to epic water toys like kayaks, surfboards, snorkeling gear and jet skis, Cloud 9 is the kind of place holidays are based around. This tropical paradise accommodates up to 100 island holiday goers at a time, giving it an exclusive, private bar kind of feel.

If you’d like the biggest decision of your day to be whether to lie on a sun lounge or a day bed while sipping on ice-cold deliciousness from a coconut with a piece of pizza in your hand, then Cloud 9 in Fiji needs to be moved to the top of your travel bucket list.

Prepare to have your tropical mind blown and take a virtual tour of Cloud 9.

How to get there:
