Bali is notoriously the perfect place for everything, and that's the key! Whether you are a backpacker in search of special corners and with adventure, a tourist looking for the charm of the island or a person looking to investigate their spirituality and connection with mother earth, or you simply want to sit back and relax. All you need to know is that Bali can show you all of that and more!

Resorts to be in contact with nature and the roots

When visiting Bali, one simply must take one of those dreamy rooms with views to die for of a beautiful green landscape. We recommend Capella Ubud Bali. It is the luxury of Mother Nature and has tented rooms with incredible views as well as more than perfect utilities. They also have restaurants and services to make your stay a dream come true.

Connect with your inner self at the Wellness Retreats

Bali, in addition to being known for its landscapes and culture, is well known for its spirituality. In fact, it is called "The island of Gods" for a reason, and that is due to the energy that these lands have that is considered to be sacred. For that reason there are many people who travel to Bali to do retreats, yoga, meditation, relax in a natural spa. Doesn't sound bad at all, does it?

 The palate

There is truly something for everyone, and you can try as many different foods and combinations thereof to your heart’s content! Whether you desire the finest meats or have made a vow of veganism, there is something for everyone to tuck in to. Rest assured that after whatever activities you get up to, you will be eating good every evening with palates that will melt on your tongue and make you think you’re eating feasts from the heavens!

After a yoga session or a good massage, what does your body ask of you? Because we can't think of a better plan than a tasty meal in a good restaurant. Balinese cuisine is a mixture of flavours from different countries, China, India, the Middle East Can you imagine having all these flavours in one? Well, that's how Indonesian cuisine was born. The main bases are rice and fried noodles and these are accompanied with meat, vegetables and local spices. In addition, one of the strongest points of its gastronomy is fruit, Bali has a wide variety of exotic fruits that are not found in Europe, such as dragon fruit.

We recommend the following luxury restaurants to enjoy a good delicacy:

- Locavore Bali

- Sarong

- Kubu at Mandapa

- W Seminyak

- The Mulia Bali

- The Samaya Ubud

The Cruise-trip

Another of the experiences that you have to live if you are in Bali is to do a Cruise Trip. Bali is beautiful but you have other nearby islands that are certainly an experience to live if you are there. Bali Hai Cruises gives you the option to rent this service and be able to visit islands such as Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Gili Islands among others and carry out relaxation activities or adventures to enjoy the thousand faces that Bali has.

Shop Art

For a trip to be truly complete, you need a bit of everything good, food, views, activities, relaxation and Shopping. In this case we recommend that you buy the local, and that there is more local than art? Bali has local artists who make figures from different materials carved by hand, the pieces mostly represent the spiritual figures of the Indonesian culture such as Buddha. Undoubtedly a great specimen to decorate your living room.

Seven Dream Destinations for the Summer

Summer is fast approaching and it’s time to start thinking of where we can retreat to and live the lives we deserve. I don't know about you, but a girl needs it! What I've got in mind is delicious food. Lots of food. Pornstar martinis on the beach and most of all plenty of vitamin D from the sun. So if you are in need of a little bit of inspiration, let us be the helping hand. Here are a few destinations that will satisfy your luxury needs. 

1. Lewa Wilderness, Laikipia (Kenya)

Within a few hours of journeying towards the safari lodge and conservancy near the foot of Mount Kenya, you've probably already seen all the animals in the Big Five- buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard and rhino. Lewa has become one of the most sought out community conservancies in the world. It is also an extremely pleasant place to vacation, from the rustic cottages with fireplaces offering a panoramic view of the Eastern Marania Valley to the communal outdoor meals prepared with the finest sourced ingredients.

At Lewa Wilderness, you are transported into a world far away from your own. You’re never a shy away from having a great time, with the breathtaking scenic flights in the retro WACO bi-plane to the unforgettable horse riding safaris and even camel riding. If you’re looking for a private, restful and elegant vacay, then this is the perfect place. Like they say in Swahili, “Karibu (Welcome)”. 

2. Maldives

The Maldives is a dream destination for that slow summer living. You will be transported into a world of white sand beaches bordered with glistening azure waters. Do you wonder what it feels like to sip on a cocktail from your own private sun deck whilst soaking up the Maldivian sunshine on powder soft sands? Let us give you a tour of the islands.

• Perhaps you fancy a secluded stay surrounded by endless waters at the Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives. An island hotel crafted with a blend of modern and Maldivian architecture with magnificent views of the sandy beaches and azure waters of the Indian Ocean. This resort is tailored to those that desire luxurious living, with breathtaking aesthetics. 

• The Maldives may be known for its honeymoons, but its private island resorts are the stuff families dream of too. Let me introduce you to Meeru Island Resort & Spa. Experience luxurious paradise on a secluded island escape with friendly hospitality and tropical accommodation. The adult only zones are an ideal space for the most beautiful romantic retreats, whereas the family -friendly spaces offer fun activities at the Komas Kids’ Club.
  
  For unparalleled luxury and an ultimate paradise island experience, the Maldives is the perfect destination this summer.

3. Forte San Giorgio (Tuscany, Italy)

Want to step into a renaissance painting? Then Tuscany is the place for you! With its lyrical landscapes, incomparable art and architecture, sensational gourmet cuisine, the Tuscan experience is truly your holiday dream.

• Forte San Giorgio, Tuscany is the rare Italian monument in which you can bask away overnight. This ethereal location is surrounded by pools, tennis courts, illustrious courtyards and a cavernous TV and games den. This secluded stay is bound to keep you in a relaxed state of mind. 

• Perhaps you want to live like a local and book an apartment in Livorno. Here you can dine at family run restaurants, wander through the streets massed with boutique stores and antique shops, along with a day trip to see the iconic leaning tower of Pisa. 

If the history of Tuscany is what interests you the most, then lose yourself at the Gallerie Degli Uffizi or the Siena Cathedral. There are truly a vast amount of museums, churches and galleries that are ready to be admired.

4. Jamaica

White sand, endless sunshine, rum galore! What’s not to love? To add to that dramatic scenery, jungle-clad mountains and locals are as laid back as you would hope and expect. Jamaica has always been a long attracted holiday destination with a fascinating culture and ravishingly stunning coasts. 

• Take the 90 minute drive from Ocho Rios into the interior to Nine Miles to visit the birth and burial place of Bob Marley or see the waterfalls at Dunn’s River Falls at Ocho Rios. Visitors can climb up the rock pools and watch the water fall right into the sea. 

• Most visitors favour the resorts of Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. The best known resort in Montego Bay is Round Hill, an elegant beachside hotel with rooms styled by Ralph Lauren. Whilst, Rockhouse in Negril is perched on the cliffs with lush gardens and pool built into the rocks. 

• If you are looking for some of the most authentic Jamaican cuisine, then it is always found amongst the locals. For an authentic plate of curried goat and roti, search for Moby Dick in Kingston.

There is nothing like relaxing in the Jamaican heat surrounded by great Reggae music, some rum punch and sandy beaches. 

5. Thailand

Thailand is known to be the ‘Land of Smiles’. Best for their diverse landscapes, ravishing waters and friendly locals. This summer destination will surely put a huge grin on the face of any holidaymaker. 

• For the explorers out there, go shopping at floating markets, discover the remote jungles, dive among whale sharks and manta rays and visit the most peaceful temples.

• Take a trip for a few days in Bangkok, the Thai capital, manoeuvring between the Grand palace, Wat Pho temple and the Chao Phraya River. 

• Bangkok is filled with some of the most prestigious hotels. Lining the banks of the Chao Phraya River, lies the glorious Mandarin Oriental hotel. This hotel offers you premium quality customer service and delicious food. 

Thailand is truly an enchanting and heavenly destination to spend your summer. Don’t be the one to miss out!

6. Dubai

It’s impossible to talk about luxurious holidays without mentioning Dubai. Dare I say it is a crime, ha! The hotels are second to none, with lavish suites, award-winning spas and fine dining restaurants. Not to mention Dubai’s gravity defying skyscrapers, The Burj Khalifa. 

• Your moments aways from statement shopping malls and record breaking buildings. You won't struggle finding any designer store to your preference, you're truly spoilt for choice. 

• Dubai is truly child-friendly to the nth degree, crammed with fantasy themed parks, Disney styled water playgrounds. Add dune bashing and desert safari day trips. Let’s not forget the beaches with soft white sand and turquoise waters. I repeat “you're truly spoilt for choice”. 

• The Palm Jumeirah is one of the more notorious hotels in Dubai. The Palm, is the epitome of Dubai hyperbole, built on a manmade island with a huge waterpark and aquarium. If grand and luxury is what you are looking for, then I would definitely advise this hotel. 

No visit is complete without visiting the Burj Al Arab. If you're desiring to see its sci-fi atrium, brag-worthy restaurants and Skyview Bar, then this place is for you.

7. Seychelles

Seychelles works hard to preserve its habitats, with entire islands dedicated to nature reserves. The country favours luxury lodges that don't dominate but melt into the landscapes. Once you've been pampered in the world class spas and have eaten at the finest restaurants, you can spend days hiking through the forests seeking out the wildlife. 

• The Seychelles is more than sand and sun. On Mahé, have a try at the Creole lingo whilst cruising through Victoria Market as you browse and barter for scrumptious tropical fruits and souvenirs. 

• Climb the highest mountain in the archipelago, Morne Seychellois or Morne Blanc. Both mountains are inside Morne Seychellois National Park, which is filled with hiking trails- the 45 minute Copolia trail is the most favoured. 

• Mango House Seychelles, Mahé is better suited to adults that value their privacy and enjoy eating lobster whilst playing a game of chess on the hand painted tables at Moutya seafood grill. Mango House gives you the feeling of being a celebrity. Featuring an infinity pool, Vogue worthy decor and an illustrious spa. 

We all have a desired destination that we would want to travel to this summer, but with these seven destinations, you are guaranteed to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

A Luxury Guide to Paris

Paris has a reputation for being a romantic city, that's why it’s frequently dubbed the City of Love in addition to the City of Light. Neither of these descriptions does it justice though. Paris is so much more than this so it’s tough to describe it in just a phrase. Paris is elegant, chic, rich in history, has a wide culture, exquisite arts, cuisine, fashion, enjoyment, and luxury. There are cafes, gardens, museums, farmers markets, libraries nightlife, and plenty more entertainment options. In today’s blog, we are going to dive you into a few recommendations that you can not miss in Paris, a bit of gastronomy, places to not miss, and a lot of fashion!

All About Shopping

As a luxury shopping destination, Paris is like nowhere else in the world to enjoy the purest source of the greatest fashion designers, such as Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Jaquemus, and France’s very own Coco Chanel, Rue Saint-Honoré is the go-to place. In fact, this vicinity of Paris is one of the most upmarket retail locations in Europe.

The labyrinth of alleyways discovered at Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen collectively shape the most important antiques and second-hand marketplaces in the world. Over seven hundred traders promote furniture, works of art, and an entire host of strange and exceptional nick nacks to ignite the collector that is inside you!

Located in Paris’ 2nd arrondissement, the Galerie Vivienne is a paradise of boutiques. Along the 176 meters of lengthy walkway, you will discover the flagship keep of Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Les Caves Legrand, one of the very first wine shops in Paris, Sante!

Bon Appetit

When talking about the culture of a country, it is impossible not to speak about food and Paris may be the city of love but its abundance of patisseries and Michelin restaurants will make anyone salivate. Visit the city’s markets where you can find a variety of fresh and local products, it’s a must. From plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts and of course... Cheese, I hope you are a Cheese lover because then you are going to have fun! Enjoy a “French Apéritif” with your friends. Have fun in any of the French food festivals in Paris. Eat street food and dine in local restaurants. Live the real Parisian experience, eat like a Local... How? We will show you what, where, how!

For many, to be French means that one has French citizenship and exhibits the behaviors and ideals integral to French culture. For example, the ideals expressed in the national motto of « Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité » (« Liberty, Equality, Fraternity ») are typically synonymous with Frenchness.

In France, cinema, theater, and other forms of art are still widely enjoyed despite the decline in attendance. Many hobbies, professions, and daily activities revolve around art. Meals are often prepared and eaten slowly as a way to acknowledge and enjoy the creation.

Christmas in London 2021

And in a blink of an eye, it is almost Christmas again. But after a whirlwind of a year, we are sure everyone is looking forward to celebrating the festive season more than ever. London gets into the festive spirit at Christmas, with all kinds of Christmas markets, theatre, and, of course, the world-famous Christmas lights. 

Having lived in London for over 6 years nows, I've explored and experienced the best activities for the winter festivities… I’ve put together an insider's guide to make the most of your trip. 

Christmas Markets 

From the big daddy of Christmas markets: Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park to the more relaxed Winterville in Clapham Common – there are plenty of spots to do pre-Christmas shopping, slurp up mulled wine and eat all the Christmassy sweet treats that you could ask for.

Afternoon Tea

In my opinion, everyone should experience a swanky afternoon tea at least once in their lifetime. We recommend Claridges or The Ritz (the latter is my fave), it makes a perfect escape from the cold. Indulge in some exotic teas, classic finger sandwiches, and delicious fresh scones with clotted cream in glamorous surroundings.

Ice Skating

You know it’s almost Christmas in London when ice-skating rinks start popping up. The definition of festive fun, tie up your skates and wrap up warm! Ice skating is one of my favourite Christmas activities; there’s just something wonderfully romantic, festive, and fun about it. The venues are brilliantly decorated and all lit up in almost a fairytale-esque way! The Natural History Museum or Somerset House are my top choices!

Christmas Lights

Nothing signifies the approach of Christmas like the glow of seasonal street lights. As the nights get darker the lights truly light up the capital, and the great thing about the London Christmas lights is that they are completely and utterly free. Head over to Oxford St, Regent St, and Carnaby St to keep your holiday spirits high. 

West End Pantomime

With theatres reopen and the lockdown cobwebs brushed away, a trip to the pantomime is a classic Christmas activity for families. London plays host to some of the best Christmas shows in the UK, from star-studded traditional pantos to modern twists there is a show for you. Be quick, seats are selling fast! 

Shopping

Whether you prefer strolling through pop-up holiday bazaars or spending a full day at Harrod’s, this shopping capital has something for everyone on your list. I recommend making a trip to Liberty London to pick out unique beautiful gifts or head over to Dover Street Market to shop for innovative fashion-forward brands.

Winter Terrace 

Among the many things London does exceptionally well is winter terraces. In between ice skating, shopping, and the general chaos that comes with the festive season, one of the best ways to spend Christmas in London is curled up somewhere warm with a glass of mulled wine. The capital is full of picturesque alfresco dining and drinking destinations.

So, there we are – the most fun things to do in London at Christmas. We want to make sure you have the Christmas you deserve, go forth and eat all the mince pies, washed down with lashings of mulled wine.
