Warm greetings from Bali the island of the Gods!
We would like to take this opportunity to wish you, our loyal guests and travel industry friends all the very best for the New Year. A big thank you goes out to you all for your continued support of Amadea Resort & Villas. We hope that 2020 brings peaceful times ahead.
Bali is currently buzzing and despite the onset of the wet season; there are plenty of things to keep everyone occupied. Traffic is particularly heavy at the moment due to the influx of domestic guests bringing their own vehicles to the island. However, Amadea is strategically located and happens to be surrounded by some excellent restaurant, shopping and spa options all within easy walking distance.
In this edition we take pleasure to announce that we are the proud winner of yet another emerald medal in the annual Tri Hita Karana Awards 2019. Read on for details about our Book Direct Promo with special rate that can be enjoyed throughout the first half of the year. We share details about Bali Cultural Calendar. Lastly, Ambiente Spa is offering generous discounts on certain treatments this January to help you counteract the excesses of the recent festive season.
Happy reading and see you soon in Bali.
The Amadea Resort & Villas Team

Bye Bye 2019 Welcome 2020
 As 2019 draws to a close, it is time to look back and express our gratitude for another great year of business and several more awards to add to our growing collection. We have had the good fortune to serve a wonderful assortment of guests over the past 12 months. Coming from many different parts of the world they have chosen to stay with us whilst experiencing the island of Bali and all that it has to offer. Amadea has become a melting pot that unites people from all walks of life in the happening district of Seminyak.
In the hospitality industry there is always room for improvement and 2020 will see some changes to enhance the property. A number of upgrades will be taking place to help us better serve the needs of our guests.
Amadea will continue to collaborate with the Bali Smile Foundation to provide life-changing craniofacial surgeries for those in need. This charity initiative comes under the banner of Amadea Cares, a Corporate Social Responsibility program that helps disadvantaged members of the local community. To date, the generosity of our in-house guests has helped us to fund a total of 24 operations. It is heartening to know that patients who would have otherwise lived with disfiguring afflictions are now able to smile.
Our growing commitment to eco-friendly practices will be strengthened. We will be investigating how we can further reduce our carbon footprint by embracing the concept of sustainable tourism. This will involve training our team to be environmental ambassadors and coming up with innovative ways to recycle and reuse just like we have done with our old linen and pillow cases.
We look forward to welcoming both old and new guests in 2020 with updated services and facilities that will invariably take the whole Amadea experience to the next level.

Bali's Cultural Calendar
Night of Siwa – January 23
 Siwaratri Day is one of the Balinese Hindu holy day which will be celebrated on 23th January 2020
Siwa Ratri often referred to as the ‘Night of Siwa’ is an auspicious time for introspection and meditation during which the Hindus of Bali pray for forgiveness of their earthy sins and for support and strength from Siwa in order to reach their higher selves.
Tumpek Wariga
 Bali’s cultural calendar is a continuous cycle of ceremonies and rituals conducted to maintain balance between the realms of the physical, spiritual and unseen worlds. Tumpek Wariga is just one of many auspicious days celebrated on the island and it will fall on 25th January 2020 to honour local trees, especially the humble coconut palm. This versatile palm, alongside rice and bamboo, is considered one of the main pillars to sustain Balinese society. Every single part of the coconut palm has a use including the leaves, nuts, trunk and roots. On this day, local landowners will wrap their coconut palms in lengths of cloth and perform a small ritual by praying for healthy growth and an abundance of fruit.
