Nyepi Day

All forms of activity will come to a complete stand still on 17th March 2018 as the island of Bali celebrates Nyepi Day with 24 hours of solitude. This auspicious day on the cultural calendar is actually Balinese New Year, which falls annually following the dark moon of the spring equinox. Nyepi is also known as the Day of Silence and it is a time for quiet contemplation. Typically, Balinese Hindu’s refrain from going out, cooking and turning on lights until the day passes. Out of respect for this spiritually-charged occasion, all visitors to the island must stay in the confines of their hotel and keep all noise to a minimum. 

Service on Nyepi Day at Amadea Resort & Villas will more or less remain the same. Guests will still be able to relax and enjoy quality time around the pool. However, there will be some minor adjustments in the way that our food and beverages are served. Nyepi presents the perfect opportunity to think about what truly matters in life. Without lights, the night sky will be illuminated by twinkling stars and we recommend taking a few minutes to appreciate the beauty of our universe.

Amadea Cares Anniversary

This Valentine’s Day, Amadea Resort & Villas is set to celebrate the 6th anniversary of Amadea Cares, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative created to give back to those less fortunate. Since launching back in 2012, Amadea Cares has become a charity platform to finance worthy causes on the island of Bali and neighbouring islands beyond.

All funds are raised through a creative campaign that encourages in-house guests to get on board with a voluntary donation of just IDR 5,000 upon checking out, which is effectively the cost of a soft drink. Using the slogan “Missing Out on One Drink Today Could Make Someone Smile Forever,” Amadea Cares has managed to raise a staggering amount of money to do great things. A monthly contribution from staff salaries and a donation box for small change located in the lobby also boosts the program.  

One of the most significant components of Amadea Cares is its collaboration with Yayasan Senyum Bali, also known as the Bali Smile Foundation. This non-profit organization works tirelessly to bring essential healthcare to people in need, such as arranging corrective cranio-facial surgeries. To date, Amadea Cares has helped fund 20 life-enhancing operations on children and young adults who will grow up to become productive members of society. 

Other initiatives carried out under the Amadea Cares banner include making regular social visits to some of the various orphanages around Bali. Although these facilities provide nurturing home environments for abandoned, neglected and impoverished children, many of them are forced to rely on outside support to cover daily operational costs. Each quarter, Amadea Cares commits to presenting sizable donations of cash, household items and school supplies to make life just that little bit easier.  

“It is heartening to see that Amadea Cares has generated such a positive response. Over the past five years, this initiative has managed to transform lives and plant seeds of hope. None of these surgeries or worthy actions would have been possible without the relentless support of our management, staff members, and most importantly, our valued guests. I appreciate everyone who has donated to make Amadea Cares happen,” says Mr. Wayan Warta, General Manager of Amadea Resort & Villas. 

He adds, “It is indeed an honour to be part of a team that is focused not only on business but is also invested in issues affecting real people who exist beyond the tourism bubble. I understand that our efforts are only a drop in the ocean, but it is gratifying to know that we are in the fortunate position to help make a difference and give families the chance of a better future.”  

Amadea Cares looks forward to funding more surgeries over the coming year. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, it is indeed a timely reminder for us all to share some love and do the right thing with small acts of kindness.

Bali's Cultural Calendar

Bali's cultural calendar is a continuous cycle of ceremonies and rituals associated with the Hindu faith. There are many auspicious occasions including Saraswati Day (Saturday 17th March 2018). This day honours education, knowledge, science, art and all forms of higher learning. Ceremonies will be held at schools and universities around the island whereby students will pray together. It is a time to express gratitude for past achievements and guidance for future academic endeavors.

Pagerwesi is another important religious holiday that involves prayers and offerings we held on Wednesday 21st March 2018. It is essentially a time to contemplate the future and mentally strengthen oneself against unexpected obstacles. Like many Balinese festivities, Pagerwesi also celebrates the universal battle between good and evil.

Keeping Bali's Beach Clean

On 24th February 2018, a team of Amadea employees proudly joined forces with other hotels in the immediate area to participate in the Bali Biggest Clean up 2018. This initiative was organized by “One Island One Voice” whereby volunteers worked hard to clear debris from several beaches and rivers. More than a thousand kilograms of rubbish was collected in an effort to help protect Bali’s coastal strip and waterways. 

Amadea has always been committed to eco-friendly practices in every aspect of its operation. For the past two consecutive years the resort has received ‘accessed’ status from EarthCheck.org. This certification, based on a science-based approach, has helped Amadea increase efficiency, maximise guest experience and minimise its environmental and social footprint. It is never too late to start making changes to preserve the planet for future generations.
