Keeping Bali Seas Trash Free
On January 6th, 2020 a team of Amadea employees proudly joined forces with other hotels in the immediate area to participate in the Bali Beach Clean Up. This initiative was organized by local community whereby volunteers worked hard to clear plastic debris from several beaches and rivers. More than a thousand kilograms of plastic 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, maximize guest experience and minimize its environmental and social footprint.
It is never too late to start making changes to preserve the planet for future generations.
Bali's Cultural Calendar
Balinese Culture Calendar
Saraswati Day
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 29th January 2021). 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 Day
Pagerwesi is another important religious holiday that involves prayers and offerings we held on Wednesday 3rd February 2021. 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.
Tumpek Landep
Tumpek Landep on 13th February 2021 pays homage to metal heirlooms such as the traditional daggers that were once part of Bali’s warrior past. These weapons are cleaned and blessed with offerings and a sprinkle of holy water. Nowadays, cars and motorbikes are also decorated and blessed by the Hindu community.
