Nestled in the lush, verdant heart of Bali’s jungle, Capella Ubud stands as a testament to the perfect blend of luxury and nature. This hidden gem, tucked away in the vibrant greenery of Keliki Village, offered us an unforgettable three-day escape that was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped into this enchanting sanctuary, we were transported to a world where time seemed to stand still, and every sense was indulged in pure opulence.
Our arrival at AYANA Resort Bali was nothing short of spectacular. Spread across 90 hectares of cliff-top gardens overlooking Jimbaran Bay, AYANA Resort Bali seamlessly blends luxury with nature. From the moment we stepped into the grand lobby, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and opulence. The warm Balinese hospitality and the serene ambiance set the perfect tone for our stay. We began our adventure with a visit to the iconic Rock Bar, perched on natural rocks 14 meters above the Indian Ocean. As the sun began to set, we sipped on their signature cocktails, the sky ablaze with hues of orange and pink. The sound of waves crashing below and the cool sea breeze made it a surreal experience. The view was nothing short of mesmerizing, and it was the perfect introduction to the beauty of AYANA Resort Bali.
Expanding like a palm embroidered desert oasis of glittering pools, lakes and garden, the resort 54 villas are definitely the hardest place to leave the red city. There are no basic rooms here; the only choices are between the tres-chic suite with heated plunge pool or the opulently lavish pool villa. Just only the best of the very best. La vie est vraiment belle a Marrakech. Of course, we choose nothing but the jaw dropping beauty, the iconic Oriental Pool Villa. Mandarin Oriental Marrakech boasts everything you could ever expect from the top luxury hotel. Carrying such a well-established name, owning a justifiably world-class-services, including two gigantic swimming pools one outdoor and one indoor, fully equipped fitness, a renowned spa inspiring from the oriental heritage blending with the Moroccan location, a variety of tempting restaurant and the beautiful views of snow-capped Atlas Mountains. It is without a doubt, one of the best resorts in Morocco and a fantastic base to explore one of North Africa’s most exciting travel destination. Mandarin Oriental Marrakech is hardly just a resort. It is a destination worth exploring upon itself.
New York, the city that never sleeps, rising triumphantly out of the ground into the sky. Boasting endless landmarks; the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, The World Trade Center, just to name a few. The question that always come up is what is the best way to experience all this magnificent view? Is it from the top of the building? Is it from flying over the city in a helicopter? Now we have the answer and we can wholeheartedly say that the best way to experience its world’s famous skyline is really from sailing on the Hudson River. Nothing can beat experiencing the magical sunset over New York City from the water on this evening cruise for 4 hours straight on the Narwhal Yacht.
Tucked away in one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket and our favorite, Pansea Beach, a nearly-private beach with crystal clear turquoise blue water and golden sands which can only be reached via long-tail boat, or through the two hotels that share this beach, Amanpuri and The Surin. We are so happy to be back here again, this time at The Surin. The surin showcases a serene beachfront location between rolling hills and towering coconut palms, making it hard to believe that it is just 45 minutes from the airport! Our beachfront villa is right in front of the sunset on the beach, we are breathing in all of the gorgeous views!
Tuscany Ballooning was our most magical morning in Florence, watching the first rays of sun paint Tuscan cypress-studded hills, vineyards, ancient castles and renaissance villas in solid hues of gold. We had to pitch ourselves to make sure that what we were seeing was not a painting but a reality! If you would have asked me what is the one thing to do in Florence, this is it. Flying high at the altitude of 6000 meters and going wherever the wind takes you! It was such a free and magnificent feeling.
