Let's go to Viceroy Bali Luxury Resort


For this weekend, we are heading to Viceroy Bali Resort & Spa in Indonesia. A paradise on earth in the mountain foothills of Ubud...

The gorgeous valley location of the resort is highly regarded for its warm light and harmony with nature, its views and its quiet and unhurried ambiance witnessed at very glance. Perfect!



This incredible luxury resort and spa consists of 25-villas majestically situated on a secluded ridge of the Petanu River gorge along Bali’s “Valley of the Kings,” an appellation given by locals for the generations of Balinese royalty who have resided in nearby villages.


It is actually an all-villa estate, each villa with a private pool. The common areas of the property offer serenity and natural beauty along its private paths connecting villas with public facilities.






The resort is well known by sophisticated international travelers as one of the world's secret tropical hideaways and respected by its many repeat guests as a destination that places emphasis on the best of privacy and comfort.

With amazing hillside views, the most tranquil and scenic spa, some of the best food in Bali and immaculate service, this is a truly beautiful getaway, don't you think?

If you are heading to Bali in the near future and you are wondering about the best places to stay in there, then Viceroy Bali Resort is one of the best places that you can stay in! 

Have a breezy weekend,

Soneva Fushi Resort: Desert Island Hideaway, Maldives


For this weekend we are heading to Soneva Fushi Resort in the Maldives.


This Resort is the first Robinson Crusoe style hideaway in the Maldives and it is set on the privately owned, uninhabited, tropical paradise island of Kunfunadhoo, which is one of the largest islands in the Maldives.

Apart from the crystal clear waters, for which the Maldives is world-renowned, the island's unusually rich vegetation provides a unique nature experience.




Villas and rooms are scattered along the beach and tucked into the lush greenery, providing the ultimate in privacy. The sheer size of the island allows an enjoyable exploration by bicycle or an energetic run on one of Soneva Fushi's hidden jogging trails.

Soneva Fushi, it should be said straightaway, is the finest resort in the Maldives. Indeed it is gaining a reputation as one of the finest resorts in the South and South-East Asia region. It is that good! Inevitably it is as expensive as you would expect such a place to be.

But, if you really wish to experience the best of nature combined with excellence in design, this is it!

Have a breezy weekend,

Floyd’s Pelican Bar in Jamaica


Let's drink and eat at Floyd's Pelican Bar on this beautiful Sunday, shall we? Old school Jamaica come to life, Floyd's is a tiny homemade thatch-roofed shack on thin wood pylons on a sandbar surrounded by water. It is located offshore on a sand bank about a quarter mile out to sea and a 20 minute boat ride. It looks like ruins and not a bar at all – however, believe it or not it is one of the finest bars in Jamaica.

This one of a kind restaurant has the freshest seafood available which is caught and made to order as you wait. Try the lobster served in ginger sauce over rice or the fried fish with a traditional Jamaican beverage like Red Stripe alongside it.

This exotic place is a truly unique and memorable experience, and a must see!

Have a breezy Sunday,

Out of the Blue, Capsis Elite Resort, Island of Crete


My today post is about the "Out of the Blue, Capsis Elite Resort" which is brimming with luxury and life!


It is a 5-star deluxe hotel complex located on a private unique peninsula in Crete, surrounded by a luscious Botanical Park that captivates your senses with majestic Aegean views, extensive gardens, green pathways, ponds, cascades, a small river, 3 beaches and a private zoo. This is the very essence of a superb getaway, don't you think? 





The property features 3 private greenhouses and large cultivations where organically-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers are produced and used in all our restaurants and bars. Hmmm...Thanks to their environmental protection plan, private zoo, beautiful park and production of various goods, the resort hotel complex has been awarded with the Hermes Awards 2002 for "Best Innovation in Terms of Environmental Protection".








Filmed on location at the Out of the Blue, Capsis Elite Resort, "tu peux garder un secret" is a French movie that tells the story of Delphine, an office worker with a guilty secret that somehow manages to get out of control. The production stayed at the resort's ultra luxurious Black Pearl private residence where many of the scenes where shot for this hit comedy film.






Inspiring interior and exterior design seems to be the first thing that draws attention to this luxury resort, the next best thing is visiting it. I can see myself staying there, relaxing by a swimming pool, or following a secluded pathway in the colourful gardens... I am sure I will never want to leave!





Keep on smiling,
