Earn Your Drink at These Incredibly Hard-to-Reach Bars and Pubs

If you crave more than a generic corner pub or bar, don your explorer’s hat and quench your thirst at these spots, which happen to be located in the farthest-flung corners of the world. Should you make your way to these barstools, you’ll be rewarded with epic tales to share for the rest of your life.

It’s not quite Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, but it could certainly pass for The Little Mermaid’s splashy digs. Enveloped in the beauty of marine life, this posh underwater restaurant and bar belongs to Niyama Private Islands Maldives (a Per Aquum Retreats, Resorts and Residences property) on the island of Huluwalu in the Maldives. Since SubSix is located 500-meters offshore, you’ll first need to get to the the luxury resort via a 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé International Airport. Once at Niyama, board a speedboat to SubSix’s dock; it takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how choppy the water is. Once there, you’ll descend a grand staircase six meters below sea level. Pull up a seat at the clam-inspired Subsix Bar and marvel at the majesty of aquatic life careening by, such as hawksbill turtles, moray eels, and rainbow-hued fish. Although the menu of sips is extensive, it seems most appropriate to pop a bottle of Dom Perignon and toast your surreal surroundings with a glass of bubbly.
