1 April 2019/in Dajuma, Eco-Resort, News, West Bali

We just received from the South African company TWISHT (www.twisht.com) a new award entitled “2018 Global Experience Award”.
It is different from other awards we already received this year insofar as it is related to guest satisfaction. The award is indeed allocated to hotels achieving a guest satisfaction rating above 80% on all the major websites.
With the Hall of Fame distinction we receive from Trip Advisor since 2014, this is the best appreciation we can dream of! It rewards the exceptional relationship all our staff has with our guests! Well done guys!

LAUNCH OF THE 2019 SEASON OF BUFFALO RACES

18 February 2019/in Culture, Jembrana, News, Tours, West Bali

The competition calendar of this picturesque attraction of West Bali has just been published by the authorities of the regency of Jembrana. Called Makepung, the buffalo races take place in the rice fields on a course of about 500 m. Hundreds of pairs of buffaloes are teamed up together with their jockeys who ride the traditional wooden ploughs that are slightly modified for the competition. The Makepung races usually start early mornings at 07:30 with dozens of pairs of buffaloes participating. Another hundred or so take part in the ‘fashion’ parade. The races last for five hours, with the buffaloes divided into three racing divisions. This year they lead up to 3 finals, known as the Governor Cup (14 Jul 2019), the Bupati Cup (22 Sept 2019) and finally the Jembrana Regent’s Cup (17 Nov 2019).
Our guests love participating in these events because it is a rare moment of sharing with the local villagers and farmers. The bath of the buffaloes in the sea after the competition is really something to see. A unique opportunity to take very nice pictures.

SURFING AT DAJUMA

11 February 2019/in Dajuma, News, Sport, Surfing, West Bali

Among our beach activities which cover swimming, fishing, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, sailing, SUP, bodyboarding, there is one which is particularly appreciated by our guests: surfing. Why? For 3 main reasons: the West beach of Dajuma is just ideal to learn. The waves are not too strong and the sandy beach is never a problem when you fall down, which is frequent when you start this demanding sport. The second reason is the proximity of a world class surfing spot called Medewi, situated a few minutes from Dajuma. Last but not least reason, is the presence of our surf instructor Jupri who will take care of you throughout the learning process.
No reason why you should not try during your next stay with us!

“OPEN-BED” NEW PROCEDURE AT DAJUMA

4 February 2019/in Bendega villas, Dajuma, Eco-Resort, News, Villas, West Bali

Great start for Dajuma this year with a new procedure aimed at improving the comfort of our guests. Every day, around 6:00 p.m. our housekeeping staff prepares the beds of our guests by adjusting and cleaning sheets and pillows and installing if necessary the mosquito net after having checked the absence of insects inside. At the end, some frangipani flowers are disposed on the bed, bringing their delicate fragrance. A good way to have a revigorating night in a fresh and fragrant atmosphere! The feedbacks from our guests are excellent. On the picture Imam in action.

WAR IS DECLARED ON PLASTIC IN BALI BY 4OCEANS

22 January 2019/in Beach, Eco-Resort, Nature, News, Social Responsibility, West Bali

A wonderful initiative was taken 2 years ago by 2 young surfers Alex and Andrew who decided to found 4OCEANS. In less than 2 years they have been able to create a fleet of boats and trucks aimed at collecting the rubbish everywhere around the island. Easy to recognise on the beach with their blue clothes, 4OCEANS volunteers do clean the beach between Medewi and Dajuma twice a week, hence completing what our own staff is doing every day. We can help them growing by buying on line a nice bracelet http://www.4ocean.com.
Thank you so much Alex and Andrew for your initiative!
