Temples and Dragons: Singapore to Yogyakarta in Style

Location: Strategically placed at the centre of Singapore's business district, the Singapore Fullerton Bay is the newest hotel along the stunning Marina Bay waterfront.

History: The Fullerton Bay is relatively new, but within its short history, it has managed to pick up the Best New Business Hotel Worldwide by Business Traveller UK magazine.

Service: Business guests can take full advantage of this hotel’s long list of business-oriented services, while those looking to explore Singapore will appreciate the complimentary shuttle service provided for guests.

A Slice of History: Stories fill every corridor and room at the Raffles Hotel, and you can even choose to stay in Charlie Chaplin’s old room, complete with limited edition memorabilia.

Service with Style: The Raffles Hotel’s legendary Butlers offer unparalleled service, taking care of every need and leaving you to unwind and soak in the old-world atmosphere.

Michelin-Star Fare: The Raffles Hotel’s tastefully curated dining and drink options include seven-time Michelin awardee Anne-Sophie Pic’s take on contemporary French cuisine, classic North Indian fare served in copper tiffin boxes, and the nocturnal birthplace of the famous Singapore Sling cocktail.

Old-World Charm: From antique grandfather clocks to beautiful teakwood dressers and all-marble bathrooms, the Raffles Hotel’s storied history comes through in every interior detail and fixture.

Location: One of Ubud’s finest views of the strikingly green Ayung River Gorge and terraced rice fields

Tradition: A magical property laid out in the style of a Balinese village

Décor: A combination of tasteful Balinese décor, a neutral paint palate and original sculpture and artwork.

Food: A choice of local specialties and western favorites, fine wines, exotic cocktails and a kids menu.

History: Set in Bali’s cultural heartland, Mandapa is named for the ancient temples that surround it and draws on a long history of tradition and heritage.

Location:Nestled in the hills of central Bali, Mandapa enjoys the beautiful surroundings of Ubud.

Service: From the gong signalling guests’ arrival to every whim during their stay, staff attend to the tiniest details, and each room’s personal butler is on hand day and night.

Access to Experience: The island of Bali abounds in history, both in terms of the Dutch colonial past and the more traditional, native culture. Awe-inspiring temples, rituals and ceremonies, exhilarating waterfalls, rice terraces and lush walking trails are among just a few attractions guests may experience and explore.

Weekly Activity Schedule: The selection of classes and activities available at the Capella Ubud, Bali, is second-to-none. On a single given day, for example, guests might find themselves with a tough decision between Aqua Pilates, Meditation and Purification, and a Farming Class. Other, more immersive, options range from a 24-hour tented wellness retreat to a “tropical island castaway” experience in which guests are heli-dropped on an exclusive private beach for a lazy day complete with a picnic lunch and wine.

A Unique Approach to Lodging: Most of the tented retreats are perched on the valley slopes and accessible via a suspension bridge constructed with painstaking care for the surrounding forested environment. Large outdoor decks further add to the one-of-a-kind ambience and provide the perfect setting for a candlelit dinner or al-fresco breakfast.
