The row of bar/restaurants below the Arts Hotel ought to be prime nightspots, with their big outdoor terraces, beach front settings, and snooty door policies. However, you’re more likely to walk in and find yourself surrounded by crass tourists and pretentious suburbanites than cool kids and savvy locals. If it all feels a bit WAG-ish, you’re pretty much on the button – CDLC is owned by former footballer Patrick Kluivert, and it goes some way to explaining the high count of Dutchmen amongst the diners. Nevertheless, if you zone out and focus on your own company, the comfortable Balinese style lounge beds and the ocean view, then there are definitely worse places to chill. Roberto Cavalli and Dom Pérignon certainly seem to think so. Kinda says it all doesn’t it.
