The outdoor pool is especially a charmer. The daybeds, the palm trees, the cool breeze…it almost feels like we are in a resort instead of a city hotel (if not for those high-rises on the horizon).
On this first night at Capella Ubud, we got to try Api Jiwa, which turned out to be by far the most impressive resort restaurant I’ve eaten at.
Day 2 in paradise: morning TRX and yoga, a delicious local breakfast at Mads Lange, and a rijsttafel feast.
We arrived at Capella Ubud around 3:30pm in the afternoon, when the sunlight was just turning soft, casting a beautiful glow on everything it reaches…
Though Tokyo has an endless supply of stylish hotels, I personally prefer to stay in apartments, especially when it’s for a longer trip. If you are on the same boat, in the hood might be something worth looking at.

Il Ristorante Luca Fantin, perched on the 9th floor of the Bvlgari Tower in Ginza, Tokyo, is an unbearably gorgeous dining room. It is also where chef Luca Fantin, the first Italian chef in Japan to hold a Michelin star, conjures up his magical dishes.

Yamamoto-san, clad in an all white suit jacket, employs a no-frills style in his mixology – no fancy hand gestures, no jiggers, just his own tastebuds to approve the taste of each made-to-order cocktails.
