LOST IN THE MAGIC OF CAPELLA UBUD

Having traveled across continents and seen some of the most remarkable places on earth, I thought I understood the language of luxury.

But Capella Ubud in Bali speaks with something deeper— something more like imagination made real. It is not simply a hotel. It is a living dream set within the jungle, where design, nature and storytelling dissolve into a captivating narrative.

Located in the authentic and exotic town of Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, Capella Ubud is breathtaking. It overwhelms in the most graceful way — through detail, atmosphere and the quiet confidence of its vision.

My rambunctious traveling group, led by my BFFs, fellow storyteller Büm Tenorio, Rita Trinidad and our ever-reliable Miladay consultant, Mike Mina, made the adventure even more meaningful. As we stepped inside the property, we were enveloped in awe and found ourselves filled with childlike wonder and curiosity. Our eyes feasted on every corner of this paradise as we explored its pathways, bridges, secret little spaces and whimsical details that brought smiles to our faces.

Capella Ubud, one of the world’s best hotels, is simply unique. It is inspired by a 19th-century explorer’s camp, where adventure, history, creativity and comfort blend together seamlessly.

As lavishly decorated tents welcome guests to Capella Ubud, they experience comfort, art and a simultaneous connection with nature. Every tent tells its own story through carefully curated décor with a distinct personality and atmosphere. The tent assigned to us had a baker’s theme, complete with subtle pastry-inspired touches.
