Rafal Jaklik, Head Mixologist at InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa

InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa has appointed Rafal Jaklik as its Head Mixologist.

With a background and flair for creating unique guest experiences around wines, spirits, and cocktails, Rafal will play a key role in ensuring that guests are well-taken care of in the restaurants and bars.

Rafal, a Polish-born national, has over eight years of experience in restaurants and bars across Poland, Tanzania, the Caribbean and the UK.

He has mastered techniques and refined his skills in bars worldwide, including high-end bars in London, the gin-drinking capital of the world.

Rafal combines an appreciation of classic cocktails and culture with a desire to create new cocktail recipes with a forward-thinking culinary approach.

His creations are strongly influenced by travel and continue to be inspired by local cultures and flavours.

Rafal finds inspiration in his surroundings and will use his culinary background to use local produce and work with local distilleries to create Fijian inspired cocktails that are unexpected, complex, and savoury.
