Biru Biru On The Island: Enjoy Sea Views With Ombre Sodas Like You’re In Bora Bora At This Penang Cafe

Biru Biru On The Island in Penang


For a city that’s situated on an island, Penang has just a handful of pretty drinks-by-the-sea spots to head to. Thankfully, there’s the charming Biru Biru On The Island.

Perched on the edge of the seashore, this spot offers not only yummy meals and thirst-quenchers, but also a stunning view of the sea.

Blue above, blue below, blue all around – this is how chilling at a beach bar in Bora Bora feels like. You can experience a slice of this in Penang at Biru Biru On The Island, a cafe on Batu Ferringhi beach that’s surrounded by turquoise blue oceans and azure skies.

The cafe’s exudes laidback vibes and all the charms of seaside bars – think thatched-roof huts, wood floorboards, and palm trees. Walk a little further into the cafe and you’ll find a terrace jutting out into the sea for closer views of the waters.

The combination of beach chairs, umbrellas, cobalt blue cushions, and clear waters will transport you to a far-flung tropical island, namely Bora Bora, all without a passport.

To complete the Bora Bora vibes, the cafe has hammocks that overlook the aquamarine sea for patrons to laze on.

The dramatic blue seas are best matched with a drink to sip on, especially when they are as pretty as the views. Biru Biru On The Island offers a selection of soda can drinks that are served in transparent cans that show off the gorgeous ombre shades of the beverages within.
