Sacred Trails and Secluded Bays
A luxury holiday with once-in-a-lifetime experiences and wonderful hotels.
Bold and beautiful, Capella Ubud is a design masterpiece by the brilliant Bill Bensley. This high-end hotel makes the most of its lovely location, blending seamlessly into the tropical forest that surrounds it (we were happy to hear that no trees were cut during the construction), and overlooking verdant valley views.
Twenty-three tented rooms are scattered throughout the greenery and come with phenomenal private pools and one-of-a-kind interiors inspired by 19th-century European settlers. The quirky themes and meticulous attention to detail are exactly what you’d expect from a Bill Bensley hotel (which is why we rate them so highly).
You could easily spend all your time here admiring the seemingly never-ending decorations, antiques, and books dotted around the hotel and enjoying your pool while soaking up the ambient sounds of the forest around you. However, you don’t want to miss out on the hotel’s ‘Capella Curates’ activities. A great way to connect with the local area (as well as great fun), these include immersive experiences like visiting a local farming village, having a go at cooking Balinese dishes and trying your hand at traditional Keliki painting (to name just a few).
This terrific tented camp is a good match for design lovers and travellers looking for a rural retreat with a dash of adventure. It promises a memorable stay for honeymooners and is also a good choice for families – trust us, Capella Ubud will wow even the trickiest of teenagers.
Luxury - Luxury hotels would have a superb level of service, very comfortable and usually spacious bedrooms, excellent food, great design and character. For us, when we visited, these places all had the 'wow factor'. A luxury hotel should satisfy the criteria of the most discerning clients.
Include this hotel as part of your Experience Travel Holiday of a lifetime.
