/in

At Dajuma Beach, the sunset is a breathtaking spectacle, painting the horizon with fiery hues of orange, pink, and gold. As the sun dips into the Indian Ocean, the waves glisten with its final rays, creating a serene and magical ambiance. Guests can sip on exquisite cocktails crafted to perfection, their flavors complementing the tropical breeze. For yoga enthusiasts, the golden hour offers a tranquil time to practice, with the soothing sounds of the ocean enhancing mindfulness. Whether standing barefoot on the warm sand or reclining in a cozy lounger, the moment feels exceptional and timeless. The coconut palms sway gently, framing the mesmerizing view. It’s a perfect setting to unwind, recharge, and connect with the raw beauty of Bali. At Dajuma, every sunset becomes a cherished memory.

SURFING IN DAJUMA

/in

Why not take advantage of a holiday in Bali to learn to surf? It is a sporting discipline that transcends the body through direct contact with an environment to which we are not accustomed: the ocean and generates a lot of adrenaline. In Dajuma all the conditions are met for you to discover it. An instructor, son of local fishermen who has been surfing since childhood. A fine sand beach in front of the hotel with long waves ideal for beginners. For the experienced, a free shuttle takes you to the famous Medewi surf spot in about ten minutes. And then surfers and boards can earn a well-deserved rest!

243 NAUTICAL MILES AROUND BALI ON STAND UP PADDLES

/in

Last week, Dajuma had the pleasure of welcoming two exceptional men Mike Brumby and Lukas Gallu (On the photo around Rondy) who have just accomplished an incredible challenge, that of touring the island of Bali paddling on SUP boards on almost 243 nautical miles or about 450 km.
Our colleagues Rondy and Dina had the opportunity to interview them in order to understand the ins and outs of this challenge. For them, the primary motivation was to campaign for the importance of protecting the ocean, especially the coral. Stopping over each evening, they also visited some schools to educate the younger generation on protecting the ocean and keeping it clean of waste. On this occasion they introduced SUP to the students of the school. This challenge also aimed to raise 20 millions rupiahs for the Coral Triangle Center, which focuses on ocean conservation. They chose Bali because of its commitment to sustainability and the protection of its natural environment. Mike plans to take on more SUP challenges in the future. Well done guys!

DAJUMA GETAWAYS: DIVING IN MENJANGAN

/in

Among all of Bali’s treasures, there is one particularly exciting to discover – the underwater life. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver, on the surface or in depth, you will live a unique experience by exploring the seabed of Menjangan Island. Located in the West Bali National Park, only an hour’s drive from Dajuma, it offers everything one could dream of on vacation: a preserved natural environment of exceptional beauty, extremely rich underwater flora and fauna, all accompanied by the legendary Balinese kindness. Many of our guests have made their first dive in Menjangan. Why not you?

RESTORATION OF OUR MONUMENT BOAT

/in

All our customers know the monument to the glory of Colonel N’Gurah Rai who landed on the beach in front of Dajuma in 1946 to fight and prepare for the independence of Indonesia. Due to its position in the submerged area at high tide of the beach, this iconic monument suffers daily assaults from the ocean and must be regularly repaired. This is what happened last week. Our team of masons-artists has completely restored this beautiful monument to the delight of the surrounding villagers and our guests. Nice work guys!

DAJUMA BEACHES

/in , , , , ,

Our guests are often posing the question: “Is it safe to swim in the sea from Dajuma? And what kind of beach is it, sand or rocks? And what kind of sand? Very important questions when you plan to stay for some days isn’t it?
Let’s answer as precisely as possible: yes it is possible to swim in the sea as long as you respect the warning flag (yellow=go, red=nogo). We recommend to swim on the West beach which is very safe for swimming, surfing and bodyboarding. Despite the fact the East beach is everyday used by local lobsters fishermen, we do not recommend to swim there because of currents.
Depending on the tides, the sand of our beaches is either volcanic or coral-sand i.e. either dark or light as shown on the picture. In both cases, it is very soft under your feet with no risk to be hurt during your swimming sessions. Last but not least, just in front of Dajuma is a cape which discovers itself on 200 meters at each low tide, a true paradise for kids (and birds…) who would like to discover the underwater life. It is also the preferred place of local fishermen fishing from the seashore. See you soon in our swimming paradise!

A little bit higher, our Bendega Pool deck is also another place to visit: overlooking the fishermen beach and the Medewi surfing spot, you will be fascinated by the mouvements of the fishing boats and the surfers. But the cherry on the cake is definitively the sunset. Fully oriented West, the entire property offers unforgettable sunsets. Looking forward to welcoming you soon!

Ocean Celebration

/in , ,

About one hundred people gathered last week-end on Pekutatan west beach, just beside Dajuma, to celebrate the ocean in both religions Hindu and Muslim. On the Hindu side, the ceremony on the beach was the continuation of the temple ceremony that took place at Asah Duren Village (one village near by Puri Dajuma). They bring the symbols of god to be purified by a ceremony on the beach. They also brought various agricultural products taken to the sea by traditional fisherman boat as a symbol of gratitude and thanks to God for all the gifts and prosperity. On the Muslim side, a long speech was given by the local imam. A great moment for the Puri Dajuma guests who could appreciate the rare symbiosis of two religions celebrating at the same time and in the same place the ocean and its benefits.
