A new luxury has made its way to your five-star vacation. If you have been following Instagram influencers and their holiday getaways, chances are that you have caught a glimpse of the so-called ‘floating breakfasts’ that have become the ‘next new thing’ in most luxury resorts.
A Novelty Concept
As COVID-19 became the pandemic that we never hoped to witness, most residents of luxury resorts like Finolhu Maldives became cautious of gatherings and interactions with other people, which resulted in most guests avoiding buffets and communal dining rooms. This paved way for the increasing popularity of in-suite dining, and introduced the concept of floating breakfast to Maldives, UAE, Indonesia or any other country’s resort.

While these floating breakfasts are a perfect addition to your Instagram feed, it is also a perfect breakfast substitute for the usual breakfast in bed. This lets guests enjoy their meal while taking a dip in the pool on a sunny day. Especially in warm weather conditions, this method seems to be a refreshing option. However, to decide whether this breakfast is practical in execution as it is in concept is up to you.
A Floating Idea
The floating breakfasts are not only a foreigner’s favourite but have soon become adored by domestic travellers as well. Most luxury hotels in the Asian region have reported that a majority of their guests had ordered one of these luscious meals during their stay, which has served as a free marketing tool for the properties that capture the attention of potential travellers.
What to Expect
These meals usually consist of your usual hotel room service breakfast treats that would be served at a five-star resort; eggs and toast, fruits, tea/coffee, decorated with some flowers (for Instagrammable moments) on a platter are simply what can be expected, but of course floating on a tub or a pool for your convenience.
