RICE HARVESTING AT DAJUMA TERRACE

/in

Among the many activities offered to our guests at Dajuma Terrace, one stands out as particularly special — the traditional rice harvesting, which takes place two to three times each year. Just last week, our guests Juergen, Gabriele, and Claudia had an unforgettable experience joining local villagers in this age-old tradition. They learned how to harvest rice using traditional tools and techniques, gaining a deeper appreciation for the Balinese way of life. The activity offered not only a meaningful cultural connection but also the joy of warm interaction with the community and breathtaking views of the surrounding rice fields.

MIRACULOUS FISHING AT DAJUMA BEACH!

/in

Last week, our returning guest and good friend Bruce from Australia experienced an unforgettable fishing adventure. Accompanied by our beach manager Jufry and our neighbor Susyanto—who captained the prahu—Bruce set out early in the morning around 6 AM. Using a special lure called a Rapala, Bruce employed a technique known as trolling, where the bait is dragged behind a moving boat to entice fish. His patience and skill paid off when he landed an extraordinary catch: a Cobia, weighing approximately 20 kg and measuring 125 cm in length. These powerful fish can grow up to 78 kg, making Bruce’s catch an impressive one! In the spirit of generosity, Bruce gifted the fish to the local fishermen. It was a day to remember, filled with excitement, camaraderie, and a shared love of the sea.

We’re excited to announce that Dajuma Terrace has recently expanded its range of complimentary guest services with the opening of a brand-new fitness room! Admittedly, the decision wasn’t easy. With our serene natural surroundings offering abundant opportunities for outdoor activities—like trekking or biking through rice fields, swimming in our infinity pool, or unwinding in the spa—we believed nature alone provided all that was needed for physical well-being. However, thanks to the enthusiastic encouragement of our guests, we’ve taken the leap and created a dedicated fitness space equipped with the latest high-quality machines. The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re thrilled to see it exceeding expectations. We warmly invite you to try it out during your next stay with us!

WHEN YOGA MEETS BALINESE DANCE

Dajuma Beach recently welcomed a new yoga group from Australia, Yoga Above & Beyond, led by Debby Cope. As part of their retreat, the group joined one of our complimentary weekly activities—a Balinese dance lesson—and experienced firsthand the beauty and depth of this traditional art form. Practicing Balinese dance felt remarkably similar to yoga: both require focus, balance, and a deep connection with the body. Our yoga guests were thrilled to immerse themselves in this ancient cultural expression, surrounded by the elemental harmony of earth, sky, and sea.

FLORAL ART AT DAJUMA

Floral art is an essential part of Balinese culture, blending beauty, spirituality, and tradition in every petal and leaf. At both Dajuma Beach and Dajuma Terrace, this enchanting practice is brought to life daily by our dedicated staff, who create intricate offerings and decorations that grace temples, pathways, and guest rooms. To the great joy of our guests, we offer a special workshop every Monday in Dajuma Beach and every Thursday in Dajuma Terrace where they are invited to learn the traditional techniques of Balinese floral decoration. Guided by our staff, our guests discover the meaning behind each element—color, shape, and placement—while crafting their own canang sari offerings and flower arrangements. It’s a moment of creativity and connection, offering insight into the spiritual heart of Bali and allowing guests to take part in a living tradition that continues to thrive in our resorts. A truly memorable experience that combines hands-on learning with cultural immersion.
