Sankara Ubud: Where Body and Soul Live in Perfect Harmony
Sankara Ubud is a heavenly rainforest-shrouded sanctuary in Bali's spiritual capital, Ubud. We planned to visit just for a single day, but decided we had to return. The place is just perfect for enjoying some rest and relaxation and as a base for exploring Ubud.
A delicious a-la-carte breakfast, a lazy afternoon nap by the private pool and a yoga session or two: this is a day at Sankara. On an expansive estate, surrounded by rice paddies and nestled among coconut palms and rare, tropical trees: Sankara’s atmosphere is deeply therapeutic. A feeling of peace emerges as soon as you arrive.
Visit the rooftop yoga pavilion in the morning and start your day with a spot of meditation. Then, pamper yourself with body scrubs and massages at the Radha Spa or take a slow swim in the infinity pool. You'll feel recharged and blissfully at peace.
There are plenty of adventurous outdoor activities available too. The resort can help arrange tours, treks and cycling trips through of Bali's stunning green, hilly countryside.
We stayed in the pool villa, a new and stylishly appointed villa that you just won’t want to leave.
The bed is incredibly comfortable, and you can hear the gently soothing sound of water from the pool. You’ll find you want to stay in the villa all day.
Sankara Retreat Resort is a peaceful retreat where you can feel totally relaxed.
Sankara is just 15 minutes from the artistic and cultural centre of Ubud and the hotel provides a free return shuttle every hour. In Ubud, you can find more yoga classes, spas, shopping and dining.

Marina Bay Sands: The Views You Won’t ForgetChoosing a hotel in Singapore was simple. We had absolutely no doubt about where to stay…. as Marina Bay Sands had been at the forefront of our minds from the very first moment we planned our trip to this Asian city. The hotel is all about ‘ultimate luxury’…. and it offers more than just great accommodation; it has shopping, dining, shows, casinos…. but the best thing about it is its amazing view from the most iconic Infinity Pool in the world.

You want to look as beautiful as your surroundings, so I packed very carefully for my stay there.

Taj Exotica Resort & SPA: Your Very Special Barefoot Island EscapeEncircled by the clear blue waters of one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives, the award-winning Taj Exotica Maldives is conveniently located just 8 km, or a 15-minute speedboat journey, from Male Airport.

Life is good here. And very private, too. It immediately feels like you are in paradise.

New York: The Top Luxury Hotels in ManhattanNew York is one of my favourite cities. It has an energy that no other city has. Christmas is a great time to visit this great metropolis; even if it's just to buy Christmas presents, to walk along Fifth Avenue and Soho or even to ice skate in front of the Rockefeller Centre, near the famous Christmas tree.

I fell in love with traveling much earlier than I fell in love with my first man. And I'm still faithful to that love (But I have exchanged some men since my first one). I have never had a reason to regret my passion. I constantly dream of going further, it gives me indescribable emotions and meaning to my life.
