BALINESE COOKING CLASS AT DAJUMA TERRACE

/in

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Reinout Joannes and his wife to Dajuma Terrace for a six-night stay. Eager to delve into the secrets of Balinese cuisine, they chose to participate in our traditional Balinese cooking class. During the session, they were introduced to a rich array of Indonesian spices, seasonings, and traditional cooking techniques. The menu featured several classic dishes, including our signature Sate Lilit Jukut Ares—a flavorful satay made with banana stem and aromatic herbs—as well as popular Indonesian favorites like spring rolls and a hearty Rendang bowl. Guided by our talented Chef Suta and his team, the couple showed great enthusiasm and curiosity. They asked thoughtful questions, carefully followed each step, and especially enjoyed the hands-on process of shaping the satay, which deepened their appreciation for Balinese culinary traditions. At the end of the class, Mr. Reinout and his wife were delighted to savor the fruits of their labor. They expressed sincere satisfaction and gratitude to our team, making it a truly rewarding experience for everyone involved.

TREKKING AROUND PUPUAN SAWAH VILLAGE

/in

Trekking through the rice fields of Pupuan Sawah is a must-do activity for guests staying at Dajuma Terrace. We offer this immersive experience to help visitors discover the authentic side of Bali—where farmers work the land, harvest rice, dry cocoa and coffee beans, and gather mangosteen, durian, and coconuts straight from the trees.
Just last week, our guests from France, Mr. Christophe and his wife, who stayed with us for four nights, enjoyed this unforgettable trek. As they wandered through the lush greenery and vibrant rice paddies, visited the serene Singh Singh Waterfall, and took in the tranquil rhythm of the countryside, they were visibly moved by the beauty around them. They often paused to admire the rich flora and fauna, repeatedly saying, “This place is truly beautiful, with such an abundance of fruit trees.” Their heartfelt appreciation perfectly captured the unique charm and natural wonder of Pupuan Sawah.

NEW FITNESS ROOM NOW OPEN AT DAJUMA TERRACE

/in

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!

JOYFUL CULTURAL EXCHANGE AT DAJUMA TERRACE

/in

Last week, our guests at Dajuma Terrace had the unique opportunity to attend the 45th anniversary celebration of the Hindu youth organization Sekaa Teruna Teruni Dwi Eka Setia Karsa in the nearby village of Pupuan Sawah. Around 15 guests joined this special event and were delighted by traditional Balinese dance performances. Some even took part in the lively joged dance, creating memorable moments of connection and joy with the local community. The event was organized by Sekaa Teruna Teruni (STT), a traditional Balinese youth organization made up of unmarried young men (teruna) and women (teruni)—typically aged 16 to their mid-20s—within each banjar (village neighborhood). These youth groups play a vital role in preserving Balinese culture through religious ceremonies, social initiatives, and creative performances. They are true custodians of Bali’s living heritage, fostering tradition, creativity, and community spirit for future generations. It was a beautiful moment of cultural sharing between our guests and the vibrant youth of Bali!

DAJUMA TERRACE CELEBRATES ITS FIRST ANNIVERSARY!

/in

Time flies! It’s already been one year since Dajuma Terrace opened its doors, and what a journey it has been. Last week, our team came together to joyfully celebrate this very special milestone — made even more meaningful as it coincided with the annual temple festival.

In true Balinese tradition, the celebration was marked by a festive “babi guling” feast, lovingly prepared by our Chef Suta and his kitchen team and shared among our 28 dedicated staff members and several enthusiastic trainees from the hotel school.

This first year has been both challenging and rewarding, marked by a strong take-off and growing recognition. We are especially proud to have already achieved top rankings on all major review platforms — a testament to the heartfelt efforts of our team and the invaluable support of our guests and partners.

From all of us at Dajuma Terrace, thank you for being part of this adventure. Here’s to many more years of hospitality, community, and unforgettable moments together!

RICE FIELD IMMERSION IN DAJUMA TERRACE

Rice fields are undoubtedly among the most beautiful landscapes in the world. At Dajuma Terrace, we chose the serene location of Pupuan Sawah for its breathtaking views and authentic charm. Situated in the heart of Tabanan Regency—often called the “rice barn of Bali”—this area offers a true glimpse into the island’s agricultural soul. In Balinese, Sawah means paddy, and here you can now enjoy full immersion in this timeless environment. Wander through our rice fields via specially crafted stone paths, designed to give you easy access without disturbing the landscape. Watch as our dedicated farmers tend the fields—from planting tender rice seedlings to the golden harvest—revealing the care and tradition behind every grain. We warmly invite you to discover this unique and peaceful experience during your next stay at Dajuma Terrace.

RICE HARVESTING AT DAJUMA TERRACE

/in

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.
