Little Girl Putu Kyara Gets a New Smile

In a heartwarming collaboration, Amadea Resort and Villas, in partnership with Yayasan Senyum Bali, has successfully sponsored a crucial medical operation for Putu Kyara, a spirited three months old girl with a craniofacial disability. The operation took place on October 10, 2024 at Prof Ngurah Hospital in Denpasar, marking a significant milestone in Kyara’s journey toward a brighter future.

Kyara hails from a humble family in Bali. Her father, Adi Aryanata, works as a cook - kitchen at a local nightclub, while her mother is a dedicated housewife. Despite the island’s thriving tourism economy, many families, like Kyara’s, face significant challenges in accessing essential medical care. Recognizing this gap, Amadea Resort and Villas has committed to supporting local families in need.

“Although Bali gains a lot of financial benefits from tourism, this is not equally distributed,” says Wayan Warta, General Manager of Amadea Resort and Villas. “Many families in the rural areas of the island do not feel the privilege. At Amadea, we strive to support them and bring smiles to their faces through donations made by our guests and our dedicated staff, alongside our collaboration with Yayasan Senyum Bali.”

Since the program's inception in February 2012, Amadea Resort and Villas has facilitated 28 successful operations for 24 children in need, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to community welfare and social responsibility.

Adi Aryanata, Kyara’s father, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the guests and management of Amadea. “I hope my daughter has the brightest future she can. Thank you for this worthy assistance that has changed our lives,” he shared, his voice filled with emotion.

Amadea's Temple Anniversary

Amadea Resort & Villas celebrates the anniversary of its temple every year with an elaborate purification ceremony to reinforce the connection between the physical and unseen worlds. 

This year it was on 17th October 2024, which is an auspicious date on the Balinese religious calendar that coincides with the full moon. The ceremony involved colorful offerings and a ritual blessing by a local high caste priest. In-house guests were also invited to come to observe the proceedings and join the Amadea team as they pray for peace and prosperity.

The essence of Balinese Hinduism is all about maintaining a harmonious existence. This concept is supported by a lifestyle philosophy known as Tri Hita Karana that embodies the balance between man, his environment and God Almighty. Religion greatly influences the everyday lives of most Balinese. Here, ancestors are defied, as are the fundamental forces of nature. Beneath the surface of modernization, it is Bali’s rich culture and timeless traditions that make the island such a unique destination.  

Sustainable Food Festival at Asparagus Resto & Bar

Asparagus Resto and Bar is thrilled to announce its participation in the highly anticipated BHA Sustainable Food Festival, an annual event organized by the Bali Hotels Association (BHA), aimed at promoting sustainable practices across the island. This year, the festival will run from October 30 to November 10, 2024, featuring 35 participating restaurants dedicated to showcasing Indonesia's rich culinary culture.

The theme for this year’s festival, "Flavour of Nusantara," invites guests to embark on a gastronomic journey through the diverse flavors of the Indonesian archipelago. Each participating restaurant, including Asparagus, will create special menus featuring locally sourced sustainable ingredients, minimizing waste, and adhering to environmentally responsible operations.

At Asparagus, visitors can look forward to an array of delicious Indonesian meals available for lunch and dinner throughout the festival. Guests will be treated to tantalizing appetizers such as Asinan Bogor, Gado Gado, and Lemper Goreng. Soup choices include the famous Soto Lamongan and Sop Iga Babi, each brimming with authentic flavors.

The main course will feature standout dishes like Sumatran Rendang, Mie Goreng Aceh, Sate Campur, Ikan Bakar Sambal Kecombrang, and a delightful Vegetarian Oper Tahu. The star of the event is the signature creation by Asparagus' Chef: "Ayam Gulung Bumbu Bali," a grilled chicken breast stuffed with cassava leaves mixed with Balinese spices, served alongside sautéed purple potato and pumpkin leaves.

No meal is complete without dessert, and guests can indulge in traditional sweets like Es Pisang Hijau and Panda Cake Gulung. To quench your thirst, Asparagus' bar team has crafted refreshing beverages using local ingredients, including Merah Pu-Tea, Indonesian rambutan tea, and unique drinks like Es Campur Nusantara, Es Kelapa Pedas, Es Kopi Toraja, and Markisa Bedugul. Local cocktails featuring Arak, Bali's traditional liquor, are also available, complemented by wine pairings from locally produced vineyards.

Asparagus embodies the philosophy of "tastes good, feels good," ensuring that every dish and drink not only delights the palate but also aligns with eco-friendly practices. By participating in the Sustainable Food Festival, Asparagus and its fellow establishments are not only enhancing the local food industry but also inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices.

Join us at Asparagus Resto and Bar from October 30 to November 10, 2024, to savor the flavors of Indonesia while supporting a sustainable future.

Fun Activity of the Month: Elephant Safari

Unforgettable adventure in the tropical jungle of Taro. Walk on the wild side with an informative and scenic stroll atop an elephant through the park and the cool Taro jungle. An experience you’ll never forget, interacting and exercising with our resident giants. 

Initiated in 1997 and set within the misty hinterlands of Ubud, the Mason Elephant Park was created in response to the devastating situation in Sumatra where rampant deforestation and poaching has dwindled the native elephant population. Our multi-award winning park is Bali’s only dedicated elephant rescue facility, and is home to 32 critically-endangered Sumatran elephants, 6 of which were born here. The park provides guests with the rare opportunity to interact and learn about these gentle giants while giving our healthy herd a comfortable and safe environment to call home.
