If you are dying for a rooftop, sun bed, a view of the sea, jacuzzi, great music, and free-flowing champagne…? Come along with me!

I will take you to Cabana’s magnificent rooftop, The Pulse, in Repulse Bay for the trendiest weekend ever.

Take note: Save Water, Drink Champagne.

Don’t forget to above all, take a bathing suit, as it would be torturous to resist jumping into the Onsen bath (a Japanese bath) with a glass of champagne in one hand, enjoy the panoramic view of the sea and mountains. Psssst...It has been said that champagne showers are a tradition at The Pulse, so you really don’t want to ruin your beautiful shirt (wear a bathing suit). Onsen baths, sun beds, and an array of gorgeous little cabins which fit 2, 4 or 8 guests, all on the roof. Everything screams luxury and bliss. The decor is absolutely amazing. 

For a calmer atmosphere though, head back to Cabana, the vibe is perfect.

Sipping a glass of Mumm champagne, nibbling on fresh fruit off a sun bed, listening to the music being played by the resident DJs, and just chilling out at the jacuzzi… We’ve had tougher weekends.

A little tip: Don’t ever leave early...the sunset is breathtaking.

To end on the high note, go to The Ocean located on the lower level to treat yourself to delicious dishes!

If you are looking for the perfect setting for a nice and exotic evening, head to TRi, a Balinese restaurant in Repulse Bay. It is our heartthrob of the month. The decor is sublime. Part of the Le Comptoir group (behind Bibo et Hotshot), it dazzled us. Subdued lighting, wall-mounted planters, bamboo, lotus-shaped private booth seating, stone tables, a gigantic high table made from a massive tree trunk. Nature is basically the resounding theme of the restaurant, not to talk of the unbeatable sea view behind a row of palm trees. We recommend reserving one of the private booth for a more relaxed evening. But be sure to leave your high heels and mini skirt behind since you will be sitting on cushions. As for the food, our favorite was the Jejeruk Chicken, also try the Duck Goreng, and Lobster Bakar and the Nasi Goreng. The dishes are delicious and presented beautifully, while the waiters are attentive. For brunch lovers, TRi offers a superb champagne brunch. To drink, TRi has arranged a choice of free-flow Louis Roederer champagnes, beginning with the Brut Premier or, for the more discerning diners, the 2007 Cristal.
In short, this is definitely a place to try at once!

Repulse bay’s beach side has changed a lot. Its massif mall and its line-up of sea-facing restaurants, The Pulse delights us with its cool relaxed atmosphere and its numerous activities catering to all!

We like: the Californian vibes of Hotshot, the extremely sought-after swing at Classified, the delectable nitrogen ice creams at Lab Made, the deliciously fresh fish at Limewood, the children play areas, the beach, the sea resort feel that send us on an early holiday…. Both night and day, The Pulse never fails to charm.

We like less: as The Pulse becomes more and more popular, the crowds can sometimes be daunting.

Our advice, remember to book a restaurant because you’re not alone in making it your weekend escapade. Take a look at their activity program, see you at the beach side promenade!
