The creamy and smelly durian

21 March 2016/in Bali, Nature, News

If you look carefully at some trees along the small roads in Pekutatan area, you may be in

terested by some local fruits, such as the durian.
The outside may look like the big sweety jackfruit, but the durian is like no other with its strong smell.
When matured it could be so disturbing for passengers that carrying durian in the public transportation may be forbidden.
But native from Indonesia and Malaysia, growing seasonally, quite nutritive and expensive, the durian fruit is a very popular food for most people from South East Asia.
If you usually enjoy strong smelling creamy cheese, just try some pieces of matured durian: a true vegetarian option!

NYEPI CELEBRATION

14 March 2016/in Bali, Culture, News

Nyepi is probably the most extraordinary celebration in Bali. Can you imagine a full day of silence commemorated every Saka new year which fell on March 9th this year, where people all around the island stay at home with lights kept low, with no working, no entertainment, no traveling, and for some, no talking or eating at all! Even the airport is closed and the roads empty! Something definitively very special which makes foreigners sometimes quizzical. They should not because Nyepi is a very important tradition in Bali totally devoted to … self reflection.
On the eve of Nyepi day take place these unbelievable parades called Ogoh-ogoh where mythological beings, mostly demons, are shown on the streets.
Another good reason to come to Bali and discover the wealth of its culture!

DAJUMA BENDEGA VILLAS ARE ON TIME!

24 February 2016/in Dajuma, Eco-Resort, News, Villas

With 12 new luxurious rooms organized in 4 villas around a 60 m swimming corridor leading to an aerial whirlpool tub, a waterfall and a 300 m2 pool deck, our Bendega Villas (Bendega means “Fishermen” in Balinese) will be ready for the grand opening planned on May 1st, 2016.
Oriented full west, adjoining directly the cottages on top of the property, they are perfectly integrated into the property while offering a different view of the Indian ocean.
We applied the most stringent environmental rules for this project: double insulation of the roofs, special air to soil heat exchanger replacing the traditional airconditioning system, rain water collection, energy savings, wastewater treatment.
We also decided to choose a very unusal architecture combining comfort and originality while respecting the Balinese tradition.
We hope our valued guests will appreciate this extension and enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean and the nearby fishermen.
Welcome to Bendega villas!

Happy Galungan Day

15 February 2016/in Culture, News

Galungan is a great day for Hindus, that comes every six months. During this period one can see these beautiful decorations called Penjor along the roads, everywhere in Bali. Penjor itself means a manifestation of gratitude of Balinese people to God, above all the grace that is given to them and a characteristic of the Galungan feast.
Further more, Penjor is also the representation of Dragon named Ananthaboga and Basuki. Its shape is similar with dragon. The base point of bamboo is the body of the dragon while the end of the bamboo is similar to the tail of it. Importantly, Ananthaboga is a symbol of soil, while Basuki is a symbol of safety. It is believed that it can provide healing of illness.
Happy Galungan!
