Jules Verne
Sunset cocktails in the tree canopy
Resting high above the tree canopies and transcending the imagination, Jules Verne Bar is the perfect place to ponder your great explorer pipe dreams. Here you can enjoy light snacks and soft drinks after an energetic hike through one of our forest trails; or celebrate the day with home grown cocktails, meticulously muddled with a splash of panache by Jon Jo, our resident bartender.
The panorama offers a wildlife viewing platform with a cocktail hour – watch the pied imperial pigeons frolicking in the trees or observe the antics of the fruit bats at sunset against the soundtrack of the waves.
