Every 210 days, Bali celebrates Galungan and Kuningan, a sacred 10-day festival (April 23–May 3) honoring the victory of Dharma (good) over Adharma (evil). The festivities begin with purification rituals (Sugihan Jawa and Sugihan Bali), followed by family preparations like fruit ripening (Penyekeban) and cake making (Penyajahan). On Penampahan Galungan, offerings and feasts are prepared. Galungan day is the highlight, with ancestral spirits visiting homes adorned with beautiful penjor bamboo poles. After a day of family gatherings (Manis Galungan), the festival concludes with Kuningan, marked by yellow rice offerings and the farewell of the spirits. A beautiful time of sharing between our staff and guests!
Last night marked a special milestone at Dajuma Terrace with our very first evening of entertainment — a captivating Balinese dance performance by the talented children of Pupuan Sawah Village. Their grace, colors, and rhythm brought magic to the night, enchanting our guests who responded with heartfelt enthusiasm and admiration.
A beautiful celebration of Balinese culture under the stars!
Last Saturday, our temple in Dajuma Beach held its annual ceremony. The event began at 5 PM, just as the sun starts to soften over the horizon. Devotees and locals gathered with joy, dressed in colorful ceremonial attire. Each step of the sacred ritual was followed with reverence and heartfelt enthusiasm. A special highlight was the purification ritual, performed on the beach at sunset.
Our guests were thrilled to witness such a powerful display of Balinese culture. They expressed deep appreciation for the authenticity and spiritual atmosphere. The ceremony concluded around 9 PM, under a sky full of stars and offerings.
It was a magical evening that brought the entire community together in harmony.
Dajuma Beach has undergone multiple renovations to enhance guest comfort and experience. After the Bendega pool deck was refurbished in December last year, the lobby received a complete makeover in January. The new roof, crafted from ironwood tiles, ensures durability and elegance. A sleek ceramic floor adds a modern touch to the space. The shop has been expanded, offering a wider selection of souvenirs and essentials. Newly built toilets provide improved convenience for guests. A spacious waiting area now features stylish furniture inspired by Italian designer Travasa. The highlight of the renovation is the new media room. Guests can enjoy movies on a large screen, gaming, or reading from a multi-language library. We hope you will like it!
Nyepi, Bali’s Day of Silence, took place on March 29th, bringing the entire island to a standstill. This sacred Hindu celebration marks the Balinese New Year with a full day of self-reflection, silence, and meditation. From sunrise to sunrise, no one is allowed to leave their homes, work, or even use lights, creating an atmosphere of deep introspection. The airport, roads, and businesses shut down completely, making Bali the quietest place on Earth. The day before, vibrant Ogoh-Ogoh parades fill the streets with giant demon effigies, symbolizing the cleansing of negative energies. On Nyepi itself, people fast, pray, and contemplate their actions over the past year. It is a time to reconnect with oneself and nature while seeking harmony with the universe. Even our guests must respect the silence, experiencing an unparalleled moment of peace. Nyepi is not just a religious ritual—it’s a powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and renew.
In front of Dajuma Terrace, rice harvesting unfolds in the pure Balinese tradition, captivating guests with its authenticity. Two skilled farmers begin by carefully cutting the golden stalks of mature rice, their rhythmic movements blending with the sounds of nature. They then beat the harvested stalks inside a wooden box, skillfully separating the precious grains from the chaff. Once the grains are collected, the remaining stalks are pushed back into the rice field, naturally enriching the soil for the next cycle. This time-honored process, passed down through generations, reflects the deep connection between Balinese farmers and their land. Guests at Dajuma often pause to admire the scene, drawn in by the harmony of tradition and sustainability. Some even join in, experiencing firsthand the joy and effort behind every grain of rice. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with local culture in an unforgettable way. The combination of hard work, wisdom, and nature’s rhythm makes this harvest a cherished moment at Dajuma Terrace.
As part of our eco-policy and our commitment to sustainability, we offer our guests various activities that connect them with local villagers—mainly farmers at Dajuma Terrace and fishermen at Dajuma Beach. One of the most popular experiences is the village walking tour, which allows guests to engage with the community, visit private houses and temples, explore the rice field irrigation system, observe prahu (traditional boat) construction, and, as a highlight, visit the local school. Last week, our guest Roland from Germany, had the opportunity to enjoy this enriching experience. Touched by their visit, he generously decided to gift a parcel to each pupil at the Pupuan Sawah school. Our colleague Gusti on the photo was in charge of conveying the parcels on behalf of Roland after his departure from Bali. Judging by the radiant smiles in the photos, it’s clear how meaningful this visit was for everyone involved!
Since its founding in 2002, Dajuma has been committed to preserving and promoting local Balinese traditions, inviting guests to experience them firsthand. This dedication continues at our second resort, Dajuma Terrace, with the introduction of Balinese Dancing Lessons, held every Wednesday at 4 PM. Whether you choose to participate or simply enjoy the mesmerizing performance, it’s a wonderful way to connect with the rich culture of Bali. Don’t miss this unforgettable experience during your next stay at Dajuma Terrace!
Discover a unique heritage in West Bali, where the renowned Makepung buffalo races capture the spirit of tradition and competition. Just a few steps from Dajuma, our neighbor Pak Sudana raises an extraordinary breed of pink buffaloes, cared for in the purest Balinese traditions. Treated like true athletes, these buffaloes delight in daily beach strolls at sunset, adding a magical touch to the coastal landscape. Recently, a new pink buffalo was born, symbolizing the continuous legacy of this cultural treasure. Pak Sudana is passionate about sharing his world with our guests, inviting them on an immersive two-hour tour known as the “Pink Buffalo Walk”. This village-level conservation project not only celebrates Balinese heritage but also plays a vital role in preserving a species that is fast becoming extinct. Don’t miss this unforgettable experience on your next visit to Dajuma Beach!
