Where did the floating breakfast trend start?
This unique breakfast option started back in Bali, where it was first introduced by AYANA Resort and Spa ten years ago, although it’s a mystery to whom the exact person was who introduced it.
Some rumors suggested it was a customer who just wanted to cool of in the pool while eating, so they improvised with the now famous and study “floating tray”.
