New Staff Uniforms

After five years of delivering heartfelt hospitality, all frontline staff at Amadea Resort & Villas have a brand new uniform that incorporates the brand’s corporate shade of dark purple. This elegant new look has been designed to respect Bali’s rich cultural heritage. Female staff members now get to wear a traditionally inspired fitted blouse with a long purple sarong enhanced by a batik print scarf. For male staff members, the uniform includes a crisp white shirt with a sarong styled covering for the lower part of the body and a traditional cloth headdress.     

“Through this uniform we wanted to inject local touches to enhance the overall Balinese experience for our guests. When travelling, visitors typically want to see things that are unique to each destination. The adaption of traditional ceremonial attire for our staff uniforms is in line with our commitment to preserving Bali as an island of art, cultural and religion”, says Wayan Warta, General Manager

Bistro Batu Kali Gets A Facelift

The aesthetic refurbishment of Bistro Batu Kali that commenced in October 2015 is now complete. This project was carefully carried out in stages to prevent any major disturbances to service standards during daily operations. 
Bistro Batu Kali now has an updated look that is light and airy with the incorporation of a relaxing area featuring comfortable cushioned sofas. There is more deck space with the expansion of a counter with a collection of high stools overlooking the street to enjoy afternoon drinks. The original bar has been relocated to create more room in the centre of the restaurant for families and groups to dine together at a long table setting. 

Since opening back in 2011, Bistro Batu Kali has been a popular choice for its great food and laid-back ambience on Seminyak’s famed Eat Street. It serves an affordable menu of international cuisine along with creative cocktails and icy cold beers. Live music is available every Thursday and Saturday evening. 

Bali's Cultural Calendar

Bali’s ongoing cycle of auspicious days and ceremonial events revolves around two unique calendar systems. Every month sees an array of symbolic rituals and religious rites being performed around the island. Besakih Temple, also known as the Mother Temple for followers of the Hindu faith, is currently celebrating its annual temple festival. For an entire month, worshipers will flock to the temple bearing offerings to pray for peace and prosperity. 

Another important day coming up on Bali’s religious calendar is Tumpek Kandang on 30th April 2016. The occasion is dedicated to animals, particularly pigs, cows and livestock that are an essential source of income. Balinese farmers will carefully wash their most prized animals and conduct a small ceremony that entails a ritual blessing and specially prepared foods. This is performed with belief that prayers and offerings will result in good health and productive breeding habits.  

Annual Staff Party& Awards

Amadea Resort & Villas hosted its fifth annual staff party on 22nd March 2016 at its sister hotel, Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel. This event was held in appreciation for the hard work and dedication of all team members over the past year.  

This elegant party saw all employees dress in batik outfits and gather for a cocktail reception followed by a delicious buffet dinner. There were lots of lucky door prizes drawn throughout the evening along with entertaining stage performances by each department. 

The highlight of this annual event was the announcement of the Employee and Supervisor of the Year 2015. After the careful judging process, the winner of Employee of the Year 2015 was Komang Sukadana from Guest Service Department. The award for Supervisor of the Year 2015 went to Guest Service Supervisor, Ms. Herlina Suteja.
These two winners are familiar to many of our guests. They will go on to represent Amadea in the same event on national level competing with others hotels within the Prime Plaza Hotels and Resorts group. At Amadea, we believe that nurturing our staff members and giving them the best possible environment to grow in, is a key part of our ongoing success.
