The Bulgari Resort, Bali

Destination Spotlight, Hotel Feature |

I recently returned from the most incredible trip to Bali.  Everyone I spoke to that had been to Bali described it as being a really special, life changing destination.  And now I see why.  I loved every single thing about the trip and would give just about anything to be back there right this minute!

 During my trip we stayed at 5 different hotels, so I will be sharing each of them over the next couple weeks.  First up, The Bulgari Resort in Bali.  This resort is located in the south, in a very secluded and private area called Uluwatu.  It was the perfect start to our Bali adventure!

The resort has 59 villas, each with private pools and ocean views!  I loved the large private patio, and massive bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers.

My favorite part of the resort was their private beach.  The hotel is located on a cliff, so they have in inclinator that takes you down to their private beach.  They have a small restaurant on the way down, and then you arrive at their completely private beach.  We took a long walk on the beach one morning, which I would definitely recommend.  Not a soul in site, unless you count the couple of monkeys that we saw!

A visit to their spa is another must.  The treatment rooms have just 3 walls, so you feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves crashing.  They also have a yoga platform where they have yoga classes a couple mornings a week.

The restaurants at the hotel are incredible, including many local Balinese dishes.  The pool is gorgeous, with private cabanas, and poolside service with complimentary amenities brought to you.

Everywhere you look is so incredibly gorgeous!  The grounds are immaculate and the service is really attentive and friendly.  It felt like a dream- just too good to be true!

Bon Voyage!

The Ranch at Rock Creek

Feature, Destination Spotlight |

I recently returned from the most incredible stay at The Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana!  This is a luxury ranch with a ton of fun activities, incredible food, and really genuine friendly service.  This certainly isn’t your typical honeymoon spot, but is perfect for couples that are really active and are wanting to do something different for their honeymoon.

This is truly an all inclusive experience- not just your food and drinks, but also a ton of activities.  We enjoyed a morning hike with gorgeous views, shot clay pigeons, went horse back riding, and even shot rifles and pistols!  If I had more time there I would have also loved to go fly fishing, try out their 3D archery, and shoot paintballs.  At night is a lot of fun too- the Silver Dollar Saloon has a bowling alley, shuffleboard, and a movie cinema!

The accommodations are really beautiful as well.  They have rooms in the lodge, luxury tents on the creek, and also private cabins.  Each is immaculately decorated in true ranch style, with fun little details.  Everywhere is really spread out which gives you a lot of privacy, and every guest has their own bike to easily get around.  We stayed in the Ponderosa cabin which I loved!  A few other favorites are Trapper Cabin for total privacy, Bluebird Cabin for romance, and The Historic Barn for families or a big group of friends.

I was so impressed by the details here.  The Ranch provides all gear, including cowboy boots!  And literally anything you ask for they will provide.  Popcorn while you are bowling? Of course! Going on an early morning excursion? They will have coffee and snacks ready for you!  Want to have a special dining experience? They will set up a private lunch or dinner on any number of private spots around the property.

Discover, Styled Travels |

When you are in search of a classic country western getaway, look no further than The Ranch at Rock Creek! I just got back from the most gorgeous weekend, tucked away in the mountains of Montana.

Although Summer is upon us, Montana’s elevation leads to some colder climates. I made sure to bring along a few of my favorite pieces to keep me warm and western! (Photo via Pinterest)

Although my style leans toward casual comfort, there are certainly some beautiful western inspired pieces that can be fantastic additions to your honeymoon packing list! Dine in style with your love in either one of these great outfits! {Photo via Pinterest}

Esprit Saint Germain

Hotel Feature |

Traveling to France is even better when the Esprit Saint Germain is on my agenda. The warm and inviting hotel is located in the heart of Paris, on the Left Bank. Not only is it absolutely stunning with its modern features, the Esprit Saint Germain is also completely personalized and dedicated to making honeymooners feel like they are walking into a luxury home. Couples can enjoy complimentary cocktails by the fire each evening, after a delicious Parisian meal.

Dining on this outdoor terrace would be the perfect Parisian escape! I absolutely love the elegance!

One of the many highlights of staying in the heart of Paris is the access to fabulous restaurants and boutiques. Esprit Saint Germain is just steps from famous Parisian favorites like Hermes and Laduree!

Upon arrival, couples receive red or white wine paired with French cheeses and a baguette, and a departure gift of butter cookies and bottle of mineral water. Email me to book your Parisian getaway!

St. Lucia

Real Honeymoon |

Jennifer & Nick deserved to unwind after their fabulous wedding, so I decided to plan their luxurious honeymoon at The BodyHoliday in St. Lucia! I stayed there last summer and loved it, so I knew that they would too! I am so excited to share their experience. They wrote me the sweetest thank you, and I just have to share it!

From Jennifer: “Our honeymoon was AHHH-MAZING!!!! Once we arrived at the airport our cab was waiting & our driver whisked us away to the resort, but not before stopping at a local bar for two “Pitons” and a bakery for delicious homemade and fresh out of the oven cheesy bread…Yum! After arriving at The BodyHoliday, we were led to our beautiful suite where they had a fresh fruit platter, champagne and flowers everywhere.

The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We took part in all of the water sports and I LOVED paddle boarding.

The sunset cruise was tons of fun and we met a few people whom we will probably keep in touch with. We also were sooo relaxed after our morning spa treatments, which were amazing!!

TAO was delicious and very refreshing. The sushi was the best we’ve had.

We took tons of beautiful pictures. Also, we were so glad you offered the helicopter ride. That was a great way to see the island and a quick trip back after a loooong week of fun!

Thank you so much for working with us and helping us choose a place that was a perfect fit for us!

Our honeymoon could not have been better. Relaxing at times, full of fun and activities, delicious food and wine, ahhh-the list could go on and on!”

SO happy to have planned a fabulous getaway for a fabulous couple! Email me to book your honeymoon!
