If you follow luxury resorts or travel influencers on Instagram, odds are good that you
have seen at least one "floating breakfast." In case you are not familiar with them, here is
what to know: they are your typical upscale hotel room service breakfast -- think toast, fruit,
coffee, and the like -- served in a pool or hot tub instead of in bed. Usually, they are placed on
large platters or colourful baskets, then accessorized with bright tropical flowers to make
them even more photogenic.
These breakfasts are particularly popular in Asia and the Pacific, especially at warm-
weather private villa resorts in places like Thailand, Fiji and the Maldives. Nearly everyone
agrees that the trend began in Bali, although no specific resort seems to get the credit for
coming up with the idea first.
While these breakfasts have become more common on resort menus over the last five
years, the coronavirus pandemic has made them more popular than ever as hotel guests are
avoiding buffets and communal dining rooms. "Across the course of the past year, in-suite
dining has become extremely popular, especially for those seeking solace in the safety and
comfort of their suite," Jann Hess, general manager at Amanjiwo in Bali, tells CNN Travel.
"The floating breakfast is a popular choice." After all, the floating breakfast needs a pool to
float in -- and a private plunge pool is a much better choice than a shared pool where a
splashing kid might make the whole thing topple over.
The floating breakfast has quickly become yet another luxury hotel amenity, like
afternoon tea or a turndown treat. Amid the pandemic, domestic travellers taking advantage
of affordable staycations have also embraced floating breakfasts. Timo Kuenzli, general
manager of Koh Samui's all-pool-villa Cape Fahn Hotel, says that nearly 100% of their guests
over the past year have ordered one. "We can definitely see that the Asian market is way
more into having Instagrammable moments to capture than other markets," he says. In
addition to the photos being beautiful, they also serve as a free marketing tool -- people see
the breakfasts online, check out the location tag, and then want to get in on the experience
themselves when they stay at Cape Fahn later. (Adapted from
