Around the World in 50 Bars

The recently unveiled World’s 50 Best Bars list is catnip to oenophiles, cocktail connoisseurs and lovers of fine interiors alike. We’re fond of a tipple here at Karma and while our own bistros, bars and restaurants are world class, we like to mix it up too! This year’s winners showcase the exceptional talent and innovation shaping the global bar scene.

In London, the iconic Connaught Bar dazzles with its elegant Art Deco-inspired interiors and acclaimed Martini menu. Meanwhile, Bangkok’s BKK Social Club impresses with its avant-garde mixology and immersive, speakeasy-style atmosphere – worth a stopover en route to our resorts in Samui and Phuket.

Sydney’s Maybe Sammy captivates with its whimsical, retro-futuristic design and creative cocktails that pay homage to Australian culture. Edinburgh’s Panda & Sons epitomises Scottish sophistication, offering an extensive whisky selection and bespoke tipples.

Singapore’s Lavo stuns with its stunning rooftop views and inventive libations that blend Asian and Western influences – a perfect stopover to or from Bali!  In Athens, The Clumsies has garnered acclaim for its elegant decor and boundary-pushing drinks that showcase Greek ingredients and traditions.

Rounding out the global winners, Rome’s Drink Kong flaunts a moody, cyberpunk-inspired aesthetic complemented by bold, experimental cocktails. And in Paris, Bar Nouveau delights with its intimate, romantic setting and classic French aperitifs with a contemporary twist.

The bars above are all within reach of Karma Group resorts making them the perfect pre-adventure aperitif or post-adventure nightcap!
