YOGA IN 2 PARADISES

/in

Yoga at Dajuma Beach and Dajuma Terrace offers a serene experience, blending mindful practice with nature’s beauty. At Dajuma Beach, the sound of the waves and the sight of the Indian Ocean provide a calming backdrop for sunrise and sunset sessions, creating a perfect space to deepen your connection with the elements. Meanwhile, Dajuma Terrace, nestled amidst lush Bali rice fields, offers a tranquil setting for yoga, with views of vibrant greenery and distant Batukaru volcano. Both locations invite peace and reflection, making them ideal for rejuvenation and mindfulness. Whether by the sea or among the rice fields, yoga here harmonizes with Bali’s natural rhythms, offering a holistic escape for body and soul.

UNFORGETTABLE SUNSETS DURING THE RAINY SEASON

/in

We are often asked the question “how is the rainy season in Bali“? The only possible response is “definitively nice”, as it enhances the island’s natural splendor and  it rains only a few moments in the day, often during the night. But the most amazing, are the sunsets during this season which are nothing short of unforgettable, as shown on the picture taken from the terrace of our Rama restaurant (Photo guaranteed without any treatment). As the sun descends, it paints the sky with hues of orange, red, pink, and gold, casting a breathtaking spectacle upon the horizon.

LOBSTERS HUNTERS AROUND DAJUMA

/in

Everyday around Dajuma Cape, skilled lobster hunters are using rustic traps crafted from locally sourced bamboo, in the age-old tradition of lobster hunting. Armed with years of experience passed down through generations, they have a deep understanding of the tides, currents, and the behavior of lobsters. They strategically position their traps along the rocky seabed, where lobsters seek refuge in rocky formations. The traps, ingeniously made from bamboo, create pathways that lure lobsters with the promise of shelter. As the night unfolds, the traps begin to yield the fruits of their labor. The rhythmic sound of the waves is accompanied by the excitement of a successful catch, when the hunters carefully retrieve their prized lobsters from the traps. This sustainable and traditional method not only supports the livelihoods of the local community but also underscores the delicate balance between human activity and the preservation of the marine ecosystem. Happy hunting guys!

TRAINING IN DAJUMA

/in

Since their creation a few years ago, the hotel schools in West Bali have earned a solid reputation. We are pleased to welcome dozens of their trainees each year from SMK 5 Negara (our neighbor) as well as OTC and Politknik Negeri Bali for training sessions in the field. We offer them a wide range of practical training in all departments of the hotel: housekeeping, catering, front desk, wellness, etc. At the moment we are training 29 highly motivated trainees. In the photo, our supervisor Hendra is at work in the Rama restaurant, explaining the intricacies of room service with a group of students. Welcome to the new generation!

LET’s DANCE

/in

With the emergence of the Omicron variant, the prospects for a return to normalcy are fading again in Bali. For how long? Nobody knows it, but in Dajuma anyway, we do everything to welcome you in the best possible conditions, in terms of comfort and hygiene.
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of doctors and nurses who are on the front lines of the fight against the pandemic.
We would have liked to reconnect with the memorable Dajuma evenings organized around traditional dances accompanied by local orchestras. But distancing requires, it will be for the next time, just waiting for you!

We are launching our new website this week

/in ,

This week, we have the immense pleasure of presenting you our new website whose development will have lasted 3 months. We will long remember this version developed during the off-peak weeks of the pandemic!

So what’s new in this new version?

First of all, we wanted to improve the informative and photographic content. This is how all the rooms are now described in detail including a detailed plan of each of them. We did the same for all the other departments of the hotel, catering, spa, garden, nautical activities, excursions, etc. We also highlighted the extraordinary beauty and diversity of West Bali through new photos and inspiring texts. But the most important is our new pricing policy which guarantees the best deal if reservations are made on our website. We have finally given a lot of space to our dear staff and our commitments in favor of our natural and human environment.

Let us know your impressions. We will be happy to update our website based on your comments!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

/in , , ,

This year again, Dajuma celebrated the New Year in a very festive way. More than 80 guests enjoyed the New Year Eve with 3 orchestras (Jegog, Gamelan and Western Live), a pantagruelic buffet including, beside other dishes, the famous “babi guling” and delicious desserts prepared by our kitchen team under the attentive supervision of our 2 Chefs, Dedi and Rudi. The decoration theme this year was “nature”. All our staff participated in the preparation of very nice decorative items including a splendid Garuda entirely made of bamboo and palm leaves. The kitchen stands and the stage were also decorated with natural leaves. On the 12th stroke of midnight, everybody was happy to exchange their wishes for 2020 under the stars and a beautiful firework. We wish you a very happy, healthy and exciting year 2020!

HAPPY RETIREMENT TO MISRIN AND KADEK!

/in , , ,

First time in Dajuma life, 2 of our employees will be retiring soon. Misrin and Kadek have respectively 17 years and 9 years of service with Dajuma. Our guests will certainly remember their grand smiles and … their moustaches! Since the beginning of Dajuma in 2002, Misrin was part of our security team, taking care of the safety of our guests 24h, always ready to help during the night including late arrivals. Kadek was one of our driver, particularly appreciated by our guests for his soft and safe driving and his deep knowledge of West Bali. According to the Indonesian labor law, both are leaving at 57 in full shape and a lot of ideas in mind: open a warung for Kadek and take care of a farm for Misrin. On the picture the farewell party organised by their colleagues. Thank you so much for your commitment with Dajuma. We wish you a healthy and joyful retirement!

DID YOU TRY OUR TEPPANYAKI?

/in , ,

Since almost 10 years now, our guests can savour in our Sinta lounge, the delicious teppanyaki cuisine from Japan. The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan (鉄板), which is the metal plate on which it is cooked, and yaki (焼き), which means grilled, broiled, or pan-fried. Imagine up to 6 guests seating together in front of the chef, who cooks various dishes of meat, fish, or both, grilled with vegetables on a hot steel plate forming the center of the dining table. For westerners, this way of dining is unusual, not to say completely new. On the picture our Chef Rudi in action. Don’t forget to try it next time you decide to visit us, you will not be disappointed!

DAJUMA’S GUESTS BECOMING FRIENDS

/in , , ,

It is something which happens frequently at Dajuma, when our guests are leaving, they like taking a picture with our staff and keeping in touch with us. What is shown this week is a compilation of these pics taken during the month of July. Among them, two dynamic couples Peter and Astrid (top left) and Annette and Marc (bottom left) who are used to visit us regularly. For Peter and Astrid it is twice a year, 26 times in total, an all time high! Thank you, Dear Friends, for sharing the same passion for Dajuma!
