Bye Bye 2025 Welcome 2026
As 2025 draws to a close, it is time to look back and express our gratitude for another great year of business and several more awards to add to our growing collection. We have had the good fortune to serve a wonderful assortment of guests over the past 12 months. Coming from many different parts of the world they have chosen to stay with us whilst experiencing the island of Bali and all that it has to offer. Amadea has become a melting pot that unites people from all walks of life in the happening district of Seminyak.
In the hospitality industry there is always room for improvement and 2026 will see some changes to enhance the property. A number of upgrades will be taking place to help us better serve the needs of our guests.
Amadea will continue to collaborate with the Bali Smile Foundation to provide life-changing craniofacial surgeries for those in need. This charity initiative comes under the banner of Amadea Cares, a Corporate Social Responsibility program that helps disadvantaged members of the local community. To date, the generosity of our in-house guests has helped us to fund a total of 29 operations. It is heartening to know that patients who would have otherwise lived with disfiguring afflictions are now able to smile.
Our growing commitment to eco-friendly practices will be strengthened. We will be investigating how we can further reduce our carbon footprint by embracing the concept of sustainable tourism. This will involve training our team to be environmental ambassadors and coming up with innovative ways to recycle and reuse just like we have done with our soap waste as well as the old linen and pillow cases.
We look forward to welcoming both old and new guests in 2026 with updated services and facilities that will invariably take the whole Amadea experience to the next level.
Unique Eco-Friendly Christmas Tree at Amadea Resort & Villas
Given the overwhelming success of last year’s unique Christmas tree, this year’s tree is an elegant work of art that has been designed from more than 1,500 plastic bottles.
It took the Housekeeping team more than two weeks to collect discarded plastic bottles that had been thrown away as part of the daily rubbish generated by the hotel. Each bottle was carefully washed and dried in preparation for the final assembly process. The Engineering team worked for several hours every day to construct the tree with the help of some very eager in-house guests. The end result is a stunning piece of craftsmanship that pays tribute to local Balinese creativity.
“It has been so rewarding to work on this special initiative and we are all extremely satisfied with what we have achieved over the course of a week. This Christmas tree not only celebrates the spirit of the season but also serves as a reminder that Amadea is committed to eco-friendly practices. We are glad that our guests share our beliefs about taking measures to preserve the environment,” comments project leader, Mr. Dody Hermanta – Chief Engineering.
We Care to Share
Every kid wants a happy life and want to be raised by their parent with full of love and cares. But it is not always the case. Not every kid has such privilege.
On 12th December 2025 the Amadea Cares team visited and continued support to underprivileged family Mr. Wayan Mawa at Angseri Village in Tabanan Regency, Bali. This family of four consist of two lovely kids who have lost their parents and now live with their grandpa and grandma. Wayan Mawa and his wife make living from farming which give them only a little income. So to support two kids could be a challenge.
During the visit we brought them some basic goods such as rice and cooking oil as well as pocket money for the kids and school needs. We were excited to see them well and hope that the kids will finish their study well and do as much as we can to support them. Mr. Mawa family thanked Amadea team and the support from guests thru Amadea Cares funding. They really appreciate this kindness.
This family support program is Amadea Cares’ enlargement program apart from supporting medical surgery for kids with craniofacial disability. We have initiated this family support program since April 2019 with commitment to support families like this family for at least one full year to ensure those kids get proper education.
