Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi

Nestled alongside the elegant Colonial Suites and the dramatic, blue-and-white-tiled, Olympic-sized swimming pool, the Colonial Pool Bar offers welcome respite from the tropical heat. Created with relaxation in mind, the bar offers al fresco dining at shaded tables, poolside benches or any of the luxurious daybeds.

The far-ranging menu includes Thai and international favourites, delicious salads and sandwiches, fresh tropical fruits and Asian noodles. Also available is an array of refreshing cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, fruit juices and teas. For those really hot days, you can even get an ice-cold mint-infused towel here.
