Capella Ubud

The thrill of glamping might be sizzling out, but the newly opened Capella Ubud is giving us good reason to play Crusoe again. Sited in the lush heart of Ubud, each of the 22 ultra luxe one-bedroom tents is fitted with a private salt water pool, indoor and outdoor bathrooms and large outdoor decks. There’s also a two-bedroom lodge which commands twin views of the rainforest and Keliki valley below. Leave it to your personal butler to arrange for treatments at the award-winning Auriga Wellness spa or kick things up a notch with a fitness programme that takes full advantage of the forested backdrop with cross-country mountain bike trails, jungle boot camps, and exploratory walks. Come evening, gather around the campfire with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows as a storyteller recounts tales from Bali’s storied past.
