Luxus Resort auf den Malediven. Wahnsinn!

Wenn man sich die Bilder des Ayada Luxus Resorts auf den Malediven anschaut, kommt man nicht mehr aus dem Staunen heraus. Mal abgesehen von der ohnehin wunderschönen Landschaft, dem traumhaft türkisblauen Meer und dem traumhaften Strand möchte man am Liebsten in einem der Bungalows in der Sonnenliege mit direktem Blick auf das Meer liegen und einen Cocktail schlürfen. Die Aussicht auf diese luxuriöse Unterkunft verschlägt einem den Atem und man kriegt direkt Fernweh! Ich kann mir schon vorstellen wie Bootsmann&Tornado dort einfach nur chillen, schnorcheln und es uns gut gehen lassen. Da Bilder mehr sagen als Worte, hier die Impressionen dieses tollen Resorts.

I just saw pictures of the Ayada luxury resorts in the Maldives and it is soooo beautiful. Aside from the already beautiful landscape, the dreamy turquoise sea and the wonderful beach there are fantastic bungalows at the Ayada resort. On the sun deck you have direct view of the ocean. I can imagine myself lying there and sipping a cocktail. The prospect of this luxurious property takes your breath away and you get directly itchy feet! I can already imagine Bootsmann&Tornado there, chilling in the sun, do some snorkeling and just relax. Since pictures speak louder than words, here are the impressions of this great resort.

Holidays in Croatia – Part I

I just came back from my holidays in Croatia which were beautiful! The weather was great, the water was clear, the food was delicious and my friends and my boyfriend were the best! Overall I had two amazing weeks and I wish I could be there again right now. If you have not been to Croatia yet, you should really go there -  and if you have already been there, you know what I am talking about!

The first seven days we spent on Brac in a beautiful apartment for rent. It was a maisonette apartment in the middle of the centre, but still calm, with a beautiful interior design and a stunning terrace.

Most of the time we spent at the sea side, enjoying the sun and the water and the good drinks and food. The best open air beach club we discovered was the Hula Hula Beach Bar. Directly located at the sea side with chilling house and electro sounds, great cocktails and a dancing crowd. We had the best parties there which always started directly after the beach.

Besides chilling at the beach and partying at Hula Hula Beach we also did a sailing tour with a crazy french- suisse guy called Danielle. He is the owner of the sailing boat called “angel of the night” who had lots of stories to tell, so you will surely never be bored.

He showed us beautiful places like the pension “Tonci” on the island Sveti Klement near Hvar.

We had really good dinner there with fresh sea bass fish, self made octopus salad, fantastic house wine and for dessert self made cakes.

It was really fantastic and I can strongly recommend you to visit this place. They also have a few rooms to spend the night there. The homepage does not look that nice but when you are there it is really a little paradise.
So thanks to Danielle of “Angel of the night” we found this place. He showed us also lonesome bays and danced for us to “Come on” by Rihanna on his boat – and he is 68!! If you are looking for an adventure with a crazy gentleman, I can really recommend you this guy. Just ask for the “Angel of the night” at the Hula Hula beach bar. They should know him!

The second week we went to the island of Brac, which is the total opposite to Hvar.

Brac is more calm and perfect to relax. There you can spend some time at Zlatni Rat, also known as the Golden Horn, which is a famous beach in Bol. If you do not want to stay where all the tourists are, go to the beach left to the Zlatni Rat. This is a nudist beach, but they also accept swimming suits. The beach is much more calm there (now that I told you, maybe not any more) and the water is beautiful.

This bay is the perfect place to have a rest and relax. After the beach we went to a little bar in Bol which is called “Varadero Cocktail Bar”. They have good cocktails and I like the design of the bar terrace with a tree in the middle of it.

I will keep on continuing this post about my holidays in Croatia soon, but for today I have to stop because I need some sleep. So have a look again in the next days if you like…! Cheers

Blog recommendation – Dakota .D

I am simply amazed by the beautiful pictures of Dakota .D. He is a photographer who moved from New Zealand to the South of France and who loves to travel across Europe. While travelling he makes really stunning pictures, which I would like to show you.

At the moment Dakota .D ist travelling through Italy and posted pictures of Bologna, mostly food pictures, as Italy is well known for its food culture. I really like the colours and the perspective of the pictures. You instantly get hungry and want to eat these beautiful pastries and feel like you are really there in this moment with the photographer.

Yesterday Opened a New Luxury Hotel in Dubai: Atlantis, The Palm – Luxury Beyond Limits

Atlantis Palm Dubai

Yesterday opened Sol Kerzner’s Atlantis on The Palm in Dubai with a spectacular show. Kerzner International Holdings Limited is an international developer and operator of destination resorts, casinos and luxury hotels.

Atlantis, The Palm, is a new hotel build on a palm-shaped artificial island, which consists of 1,539 luxury rooms and a 924 m² bridge suite. It has 1,4 kilometers of beach, 11 million liters in the aquarium with 65,000 fish and marine species and 5,600 m² of meeting and function space.

Kylie Minogue played at the opening yesterday and in the Guardian was reported that she got a£2m cheque to perform at the party.’

Some of the other guests were Lindsay Lohan, Michael Jordan, Janet Jackson, Robert de Niro, Wesley Snipes, Mischa Barton, Charlize Theron, Agyness Deyn, Dame Shirley Bassey, Jade Jagger, Sir Philip Green, Yasmin Le Bon and Lily Allen.

I must say that I was impressed when I first heard of it, but I must also admit that I am not the type of person who would stay for long in such a hotel. I would rather prefer travelling around and seeing more than staying only in a hotel. Of course I would like to see it once from inside and would not say no if someone would invite me there. But room prices start at £300, so not really affordable for a student.

For me Dubai is a place where you can spend lots of money and get lots of luxury. I have not been there yet but this hotel shows what a luxury place it is and how much money is spent there.

In April Saatchi & Saatchi was announced the agency to launch a multi-platform campaign for the Atlantis, following a pitch led by Robert Senior and Kate Stanners.
Alone £15m were spent for the opening and the development value is said to be around $1 billion.

Any more questions? :-)

From 1:40 min on its getting interesting……
