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.
