Minimalism might be in, but superstar interior designer Bill Bensley has no
qualms about turning up the décor to maximum at Capella Ubud, Bali. Sloped on a
jungle ravine in Bali's cultural and creative heart, the luxury tented lodge is
a wacky window into a bygone era. Bensley is the mastermind behind this
contemporary early settlers’ camp, which features 23 Dutch-colonial-inspired
tents decorated to a theme. Discover traditional Balinese baking utensils
adorning the Baker's Tent and film paraphernalia in the Photographer's
lodgings.
There's a real sense of playfulness about this property, from the
30-meter-long above-ground rainforest pool to the branded sidecar at the
entrance. But it also feels exceptionally private. Each tent has a large
terrace with daybed, private saltwater plunge pool and indoor and outdoor
showers for nature bathing. And with a rotation of jungle-inspired guided group
yoga and fitness classes on offer, there’s plenty to do outside of your tent as
well.
