Introducing the Bali Tourist Levy 2024: What You Should Know!

Beginning February 14, 2024, international visitors to Bali will be required to pay a one-time fee of IDR150,000 (USD 10) per entry. This fee is applicable to both adults and children, for each visit to Bali.

Travellers are encouraged to conveniently settle this fee in advance through the Love Bali website or App. Upon payment, an email will be sent containing a QR code, which should be stored on your smartphone or printed for scanning at checkpoints in Bali Airport and sea ports.

Nyepi Day, Bali in total lockdown

All forms of activity will come to a complete stand still on 11th March 2024 as the island of Bali celebrates Nyepi Day with in total lockdown 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.

Guest Activity of the Month: Elephant Safari

While in Bali, take time to visit Mason Elephant Park located in Taro Village, set within 4 hectares in the misty hinterlands in the north of Ubud, about one and half hour drive from Seminyak. 

The park was created in response to the devastating situation in Sumatra where rampant deforestation and poaching has dwindled the native elephant population. This multi-award winning park is Bali’s only dedicated elephant rescue facility, and is home to 31 critically-endangered Sumatran elephants, 4 of which were born there. The park provides guests with the rare opportunity to interact and learn about these gentle giants while giving the healthy herd a comfortable and safe environment to call home.

Several packages are available including bathe and breakfast with elephant, elephant safari or jumbo wash where you will a rare opportunity to hose, wash, scrub and caress your new found friend, the elephant, which is followed by elephant education show and buffet lunch with a view of elephants in their bathing lake.
