INDEPENDENCE DAY

Yesterday, on August 17th, Indonesia proudly celebrated its Independence Day — a moment that carries special meaning at Dajuma. It was on the beach facing Dajuma, in March 1946, that Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai landed to prepare his historic struggle for freedom after the Indonesian declaration of independence. The national monument shown on the picture honors this decisive event. This year, our guests were warmly welcomed to join the local community in flag-raising ceremonies, traditional games, and vibrant cultural performances by the ocean. Celebrating Independence Day at Dajuma is not just a holiday — it is a unique opportunity to connect with Bali’s living history in an unforgettable way.
