Daffodils are in bloom, the chill is lifting and Arbory Afloat has a new look. Specifically, Guadalajara, Tulum and Oaxaca. A small crew from Arbory visited on a research trip earlier this year. At Afloat this year, pretty much every hue on the colour wheel is represented — but fuchsia, bright green, and sunny yellow are some of the most heavily represented shades. The cocktail bar has a huge, cabana-style thatched roof that drapes down to frame the bartenders.

Like the scent of jasmine in the air or the overwhelming urge to Marie Kondo your home, Afloat reopening is a signifier that spring is well and truly here. The Yarra River's floating bar and restaurant has become a Melbourne warm-weather staple, and is now back for its eighth iteration — this time sporting a whole new persona as the newly minted Afloat Viva Mexico. After drawing inspiration from the Balearic Islands in and Turkey's Turquoise Coast in , the Afloat team has now spun the compass in the direction of Mexico, with nods to Oaxaca, Tulum, Guadalajara and Mexico City blooming to life across its interiors, the food and drinks menus, and its music and entertainment. Design-wise, Afloat Viva Mexico has gone for both colour and natural tones — so, yes, ample contrast. With splashes of lime, apple, teal, aqua, fuchsia, burgundy, musk, citron, sand, tan, moss and jungle green, this year's look takes its cues from the '68 Mexico Olympic Games design by Lance Wyman. You'll see the results featured on everything from the facades to umbrellas — and, of course, in the venue's bars. Two watering holes within the broader spot are all about Tulum vibes, complete with stone bar tops and thatched roofs. On the lower deck, the city's beach bars have influenced a brand-new lounge and dining area that includes cabanas and a DJ booth. Up top, more cabanas await, plus high bar tables, low dining tables, and plenty of greenery — not just the year-old olive tree, but also banana palms, agave, prickly pear and cactus.
