Capella Ubud

Enter the weird wonderful world of hotel hero Bill Bensley at Capella Ubud, a campsite pouring scorn on the classic tents-and-cold-showers combo. In homage to the European settlers of the early 19th century, design details include wooden trunks hiding minibars, hanging animal heads, freestanding copper tubs and canopied four-poster beds. The restaurant is named for Mads Johansen Lange, a Danish spice trader who moonlighted as a peacemaker, and with food this good, he’d be proud to lend his moniker. And just to reiterate that this is no ordinary campsite: you even get to choose which scented soap to use.
