Alcohol is not allowed in local islands of Maldives including Maafushi, as Islamic laws prohibits the consumption of alcohol. For most of us this might be a devastating news, as a vacation is not complete without a good refreshing alcoholic beverage. Hence the introduction of a floating bar in the form of a safari.
The experience
The floating bar is located near the shores of Maafushi and hosts a variety of food, beverages, and entertainment for the guests. It’s a great place for an evening tour complimented with food and alcohol. The views are stunning, with plenty of comfy sofas and lounge options provided in an open atmosphere. The beer provided costs about 6 – 10 USD and guest can experience entertainment such as karaoke.
What’s better than enjoying a beer? Enjoying at in the company of breathtaking views of the vast horizon and a sky painted with the palates of the setting sun as you laze on the lounge of a safari. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy some quality time with your friends and loved ones floating above the azure waters of Maldives. The floating bar is a blessing provided for those of you who would like to have a drink on your Maafushi local island vacation.
