Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

You are guaranteed to feel hip when you cross the threshold at this trendy bar & restaurant in Amsterdam Noord. It is a great place to have a cosy, relaxed dinner with a large group of friends, thanks in no small part to the indoor skate park. Watch the skaters ollie & heel flip for hours while you sip an ice cold beer.

Amsterdam is many wonderful things, but a hotspot for top-notch Mexican food it is not. Until now, that is. Coba Taqueria is an achingly cool restaurant serving a short & sweet menu of tacos, quesadillas & tostadas. If your thirst is as strong as your hunger, indulge in any of the great tequila-based cocktails, natural wines or bright, fresh juices.

Coffee, pastries, cocktail concoctions and mezcal mixes. When news hit the street that COBA was opening a neighbouring, drinks hangout we went into overdrive. Our order? A Sereno Moreno - served in a glamorous, long-stemmed glass filled with Mezcal, cocoa, peanuts and topped with a black sesame garnish.
