The Fairmont Orchid welcomes a new pop-up bar featuring Bruno Mars’ rum line.
With the beginning of summer comes an exciting new pop-up at the Fairmont Orchid on Hawai‘i Island. The luxury resort recently debuted its new SelvaRey Rum Bar, a picturesque watering hole set right on the shore of the resort’s own Pauoa Bay that serves tropical cocktails and savory snacks in an Instagram-worthy setting.
SelvaRey Rum is a premium rum brand with a “Tropical Luxury” aesthetic co-owned by multi-Grammy award-winning artist and local Hawai‘i boy Bruno Mars. The singer was inspired to partner with the premium rum brand by his parents’ Filipino and Puerto Rican backgrounds—both cultures with strong rum traditions—and his own O‘ahu upbringing performing in front of crowds drinking tropical rum cocktails.
The bar is open daily from 4:00 p.m. until sunset during the season and features delicious SelvaRey Rum cocktails inspired by the singer himself. Come enjoy a “Cold Brewno,” an espresso martini made with SelvaRey chocolate rum, coffee liqueur, and local cold brew coffee; or the crowd favorite “Hollywood Colada,” a lighter take on a piña colada made with SelvaRey coconut rum, pineapple juice, lime, and coconut water—all while taking in the incredible sunset over the Kohala Coast.
The pop-up kicked off with a bang on May 18 with a private launch event at the resort. Mars himself was on hand to serve guests one of his five signature cocktails served at the bar and later performed a few of his hits with a live band. The event was one of the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Beyond LIMITS Experiences, a collection of exclusive luxury experiences held by the properties globally.
“We are extremely excited to launch this one-of-a-kind beach bar experience featuring Bruno Mars’ SelvaRey Rum. Guests can expect to relax with toes in the sand, cocktails in hand, and relaxing island vibes with waves crashing just a few feet away. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience inspired by Bruno, with each detail hand-selected to evoke the special brand of tropical luxury unique to bothSelvaRey and the Hawaiian sanctuary of Fairmont Orchid,” says Yigit Sezgin, Chief Brand & Commercial Officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “This is what Beyond LIMITS is about—creating moments and experiences not available anywhere else, but solely brought to life by Fairmont.” fairmontorchid.com/dine/selvarey-rum-bar
