Fiji’s renowned floating dining venue, Cloud 9, has recently achieved recognition as the second-best boat-only dining destination globally, according to a list published by BoatBooker. This curated compilation ranks unique dining experiences accessible solely by boat from various locations around the world.
BoatBooker praised Cloud 9 for its unique “middle-of-the-ocean” setting, embodying the vibrant nautical spirit of Fiji. Nestled on Ro Ro Reef within the stunning turquoise waters of the Mamanuca Islands, near Vanua Malolo, the venue is described as a floating paradise that offers an experience unattainable from land.
Guests at Cloud 9 can enjoy gourmet wood-fired pizzas and refresh themselves with a fully stocked bar while soaking in the panoramic 360-degree ocean views. The reviewers emphasize the unmatched vistas of open water, where no land is visible, creating a truly immersive dining atmosphere.
The appeal of Cloud 9 has been further boosted by its connection to pop culture, as the nearby Mamanuca Islands recently gained fame as a filming location for the “Love Island USA” series. This exposure allows visitors to witness the breathtaking scenery that has captivated millions globally.
In addition to its culinary delights, Cloud 9 offers an extraordinary reef experience, enabling diners to dive directly into the surrounding coral gardens right from the dining deck in between courses.
BoatBooker’s rigorous selection criteria for the list included that all featured locations could only be accessed by boat, maintained strong Google review ratings, and had at least 100 verified reviews. Cloud 9 stands out in this elite group, highlighting Fiji’s potential as a top-tier destination for unique dining experiences.
