Last week, Dajuma had the joy and privilege of celebrating the wedding of the lovely couple, Amelie and Ludovic, who entrusted us with hosting their special day. With heartfelt dedication and creative flair, our team transformed the seaside garden into a magical setting—an elegant blend of nature and romance, perfectly framing this unforgettable moment. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple exchanged vows in an atmosphere filled with love, laughter, and emotion.

DAJUMA CELEBRATES GALUNGAN & KUNINGAN

/in

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!

THE CHRISTMAS TREES OF DAJUMA: CELEBRATION

/in

Amidst Bali’s lush and vibrant scene,
Stand three Christmas trees, unique and serene.
At Dajuma Beach, driftwood and coconut weaves a tale,
Of ocean journeys, where dreams set sail.

At Dajuma Terrace, paper and leaves unite,
Crafted by hands with hearts so bright.
Embracing nature, their beauty takes hold,
A story of love and traditions retold.

Parents and children gather with glee,
By these emblematic trees of harmony.

HAPPY GALUNGAN & KUNINGAN

At Dajuma Beach and Dajuma Terrace, the celebration of Galungan and Kuningan is a truly special experience, honoring Bali’s rich cultural heritage. During Galungan, the resort comes alive with beautifully crafted penjor (decorative bamboo poles) lining the pathways, creating a festive atmosphere. Our guests are invited to witness traditional Balinese rituals, complete with offerings and prayers, that mark the victory of good over evil. Local dance performances and gamelan music add to the festive mood, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in authentic Balinese traditions. As Kuningan approaches, special ceremonies are held, signifying the farewell of ancestral spirits. The Dajuma Terrace offers a culinary journey with special Balinese dishes, featuring flavors that capture the essence of the celebration. This sacred time is an opportunity for our guests to connect with Balinese culture, enjoy the serene surroundings, and experience the island’s spiritual beauty firsthand.

JEMBRANA CULTURAL PARADE

/in

Last Saturday, the Jembrana government celebrated Negara City’s anniversary with a vibrant cultural parade. The event showcased a dazzling array of participants from each district in Jembrana, along with various local institutions and companies. Pekutatan District, home to Dajuma, proudly contributed to the parade with a distinctive Gebogan display. These traditional offerings, usually made from fruits and cakes, were uniquely crafted this year using local natural products such as cloves, coffee, cocoa, and bananas. The striking Gebogan procession was enhanced by the lively beats of a Baleganjur music group and the spirited performance of a local high school marching band. The parade not only delighted our guests but also highlighted the rich cultural heritage of Jembrana and  celebrated community unity and local craftsmanship.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

/in

At Puri Dajuma, the celebration of Indonesia’s Independence Day on August 17 is particularly poignant due to the presence of the monument dedicated to national hero Ngurah Rai on the beach. Ngurah Rai, a key figure in Bali’s fight for independence, is honored with special ceremonies, including a wreath-laying and a moment of silence at the monument. The day begins with a flag-raising ceremony, where the Merah Putih flies proudly, followed by cultural performances highlighting Balinese traditions. Guests and locals alike participate in traditional games and activities that foster community spirit. The atmosphere is charged with patriotism, as the monument serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for Indonesia’s freedom, making the celebrations at Dajuma deeply meaningful and reflective of the nation’s history.

In a nice demonstration of respect and admiration, the veterans of the Indonesian army organized on April 5 a poignant event to commemorate the heroic landing of one of the most revered figures in the country, Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai, in Pekutatan Beach during his Java-Bali expedition in 1946. The gathering took place against the backdrop of  Puri Dajuma, where a monument is now in honor of this momentous event.
