DONATION OF 6 BINS TO RAMBUT SIWI TEMPLE

DONATION OF 6 BINS TO RAMBUT SIWI TEMPLE

/in

The battle for the environment has very seriously resumed in Bali, after 2 and a half years of pandemic without customers and therefore without means. This is how Dajuma was able to offer 6 bins to the temple of Rambut Siwi to collect and recycle as much as possible of the waste left by the many visitors. Rambut Siwi Temple is indeed very sacred in Bali and visited by thousands of devotees every year. Its exceptional location on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea also makes it a tourist hotspot, particularly appreciated for its sunsets. A must visit during your next stay in Dajuma!

SARASWATI CELEBRATION IN BALI

SARASWATI CELEBRATION IN BALI

/in

Last Saturday, all of Bali celebrated the famous goddess Saraswati. In Hindu mythology, she is the wife of Brahma and the goddess of Knowledge and the Arts, personifying the word and the Vedas, the sacred books of Hinduism. On this day, the villagers went to the village temple to pray, while students of all levels meet at their school temple. A special ceremony for new students called “upanayana” was held on this occasion, with the aim of purifying and sharpening their mind. With a sharp mind, students can better assimilate knowledge and faster the learning process in school. It also aims to refine character, speak politely and behave well. Thus, with the Upanayana ceremony, it is hoped that students will have intellectual, social, spiritual and emotional intelligence so that they become role models for the community!

KITE ON THE BEACH

KITE ON THE BEACH

/in

The beach in front of Dajuma is an extraordinary playground for young and old. Protected by its volcanic cape which can be seen more than 300 m away at low tide, the beach offers all kinds of activities, from simple walks in giant potholes to coral rocks which aquatic life fascinates children, to other more sporting activities such as surfing, kite surfing, SUP, sailing or fishing at the cape or at sea with local fishermen. A wonderful world in itself so exotic! But among all these activities there is one very popular in Bali, the kite. All Balinese families do this activity and like to share it with our guests as the picture shows.

A VERY SPECIAL COLLECTION!

What was our surprise last week when our guest and friend Mr. Max Schweizer from Switzerland, coming for the 5th time to Dajuma, presented our reception staff with registration cards from his previous stays as a valuable collection! It touched us a lot because he told us how much these simple cards brought back good memories for him. Welcome dear Max! Enjoy your 5th stay!

This week we had the great pleasure of welcoming the Oliver-Williams family from Australia. The idea came to reproduce the same scene that had taken place during their previous stay in 2017, in this case a training on the floral decorations so widespread in Bali. Thing said thing done! It’s very touching to see in these photos the change of little girls who become teenagers surrounded by their always so radiant mother!

Last week we had the pleasure of celebrating Samantha’s birthday. A special decoration for her bed was prepared in great secrecy by our staff while her parents and brother hosted a special dinner at our Rama restaurant. Our restaurant team has set up a special table decorated in Balinese style. One more good memory to bring back from the Island of the Gods. Happy Birthday dear Samantha!

It is Dajuma that our dear repeaters Anthony & Cheryl from Australia (on the picture) as well as Jay and Sarah respectively from the Netherlands and Italy have chosen to pronounce their wedding vows last week.

Last Saturday, coinciding with the day of the full moon, our village hosted the groundbreaking ceremony for the long-awaited construction of the toll road linking Gilimanuk and Mengwi, named Jagat Kerthi Bali Toll Road. In addition to symbolic ceremonies, traditional Hindu ceremonies were also performed. The event was attended by the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (Mr. Basuki Hadimuljoko), the Governor of Bali, the Chief of Police of Bali, the Regent of Jembrana and also in the presence of the surrounding community. The construction of this 96.21 km toll road should begin in 2023. This is very good news for all the inhabitants and economic actors of West Bali!

BETWEEN YOUR MOMENTS OF RELAXATION

BETWEEN YOUR MOMENTS OF RELAXATION

Holidays are not always synonymous with idleness. This is particularly true in Bali when you visit the island as a tourist, where you are constantly encouraged to discover something new that delights you, be it cultural, artistic or sporting. This is the case of Dajuma whose site lends itself particularly well to all kinds of activities as shown in the photo with badminton, a very popular sport in Indonesia which has several of the best players in the world. A small overview of these on-site activities is given here: https://www.dajuma.com/e-library/#activities–tours. Enjoy!

SO TASTY BALINESE CUISINE

SO TASTY BALINESE CUISINE

/in

For good reason, Balinese cuisine is highly appreciated by connoisseurs for its freshness, its spices and its variety, influenced by the geography of the island and its history. This makes it a tasty culinary experience for tourists discovering it for the first time. But unlike the West with its star-studded restaurants, good Balinese cuisine is everywhere, from the unlikely market food stalls as seen in the photo to the humble warungs found along the roads. Apart from the classics like nasi/bakmi goreng, nasi campur, gado-gado, sate, lawar, etc. they all have a specialty like the famous babi guling (grilled pig), bebek betutu (herb stuffed duck). Our customers Anne and Jacob on the photo, stopped at the Negara market to taste the traditional chicken porridge which they loved! Selamat makan! (Enjoy your meal!)
