Save this spot for the essential Ubud experience:
📍Tis Cafe @tiscafeubud
If you’re planning to visit the rice terraces, why not combine it with a visit to a great cafe? The Tegalalang terraces are actually an ancient local system of irrigation cared for by temple monks and called subak. It dates back over 10 centuries – and it’s even been enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can go trekking there, find swings for photos (see below), or simply admire the terraces from a cafe - like we did at the stylish Tis Cafe.
We indulged in delicious crispy vegan quesadillas, a red dragon fruit bowl (one of Bali’s icons), and mango sticky rice. Additionally, their mocktails and juices are delightful!

Best hotel to stay with kids in Dubai this half term ❤️
📍 @atlantisthepalm
Of course, Atlantis the Palm would be your choice number one! We stayed there for three different occasions over the years, and it’s just perfect for family trips. Everything here is stylised as if you’re under the sea - kids admire every detail of this Disneyland-like hotel.
But there is more: Lost Chambers Aquarium! It is designed as if you visit Atlantis under the water surface, this lost island described by Plato, which is filled with exotic creatures and 65,000 marine animals.
This fantastic aquarium is free for the guests – but you can visit it even if you don’t stay in the hotel. The area with a cafe however is reserved mainly for the hotel guests.
Aquaventure waterpark is a fantastic activity for a fun day for the family! It’s the largest waterpark in the world andis located at the Atlantis the Palm - and is free for the hotel guests, but there are crowds of visitors coming here who don’t stay in the hotel.
There are splash areas for little kids, interactive water zones, a lazy river, tiny and giant slides (such as Medusa’s Lair, Shockwave, Aquaconda, Slitherine and many more), restaurants, relaxation areas, food stalls, watersport activities and many more. It’s not cheap but it’s really good! And finally, you can visit the Atlas Village for animal encounters too.

Where to stay in Bahrain? 🇧🇭
📍 Sheraton Bahrain @sheratonbahrain
During our second trip to Bahrain we stayed at the Sheraton Bahrain: the hotel has just been refurbished and looks completely brand new!
The breakfast area overlooking the pool is large and bright, and the selection of food is excellent: Arabic, Asian, and Western cuisines are all available. Besides that, they have a small high-tech indoor herb garden!
Our room was large and very stylish thanks to the recent renovations, and our windows open up to the Avenues Mall and the Bahrain World Trade Center.
The hotel is linked to the Moda Shopping mall.

Looking for a hotel in Casablanca?
📍 Stay at Four Seasons @fscasablanca, the most luxurious hotel in Casablanca
It sits on Boulevard de la Corniche overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The property itself is very stylish and modern. The interior is decorated with traditional patterns and looks inviting and photogenic.
Our room features a contemporary take on traditional Moroccan ornaments mixed with European minimalistic style.
There is an outdoor pool, and you can also have a proper indulgent spa experience here (for instance, I had an argan seed facial with a rose mask – a proper homage to Moroccan heritage).
We also had a few meals at their restaurant, which had a great selection of both Moroccan and Western dishes to try prepared in the most traditional way.
The breakfast area opens up to the magnificent ocean and the lighthouse, and the breakfast selection was very decent.
Unfortunately, we had a bad first impression of the hotel as my passport was lost by the staff at the reception, but it was later recovered and the hotel apologised rectifying the situation.
Close to the hotel, there is the Anfa mall with a supermarket, food court, and numerous international shops and cafes such as Starbucks, Costa, Xiaomi, Tommy Hilfiger, M&S, Intimissimi, and so on. Besides that, there is an area with outdoor cafes and access to the beach.

Fez, an ancient capital of Morocco and one of the four imperial capitals of the country, is still considered a cultural capital.
It was founded in the 8th century when the Idrisid dynasty decided to move its capital here from Walili, or Volubilis.
For centuries, Fez has been the most important city in the whole region. The French decided to move the administrative center to Rabat in 1912, and after half a century, Rabat became the official capital. However, Fez continues to attract visitors and pilgrims regardless.
