Tenganan, Balinese Traditional Village

Bali is an island of great diversity and there is much more out there to be experienced than just the shops, spas and restaurants of the conventional tourism districts. For a culturally inspiring day out, visit the village of Tenganan on Bali’s eastern shoulder not far from the seaside town of Candi Dasa. This traditional village is often referred to as a living museum and is a closed community that is home to Bali’s original inhabitants. 

Members of this archaic cult society adhere to their own territorial rules and religious beliefs. Outsiders are welcome during daylight hours to see how these people retain their ancient ways. The music, dance and arts of Tenganan are both rich and symbolic. The women of this village produce a unique textile called ‘geringsing’, which is woven using a difficult double ikat technique. Other interesting highlights include a traditional style of architecture that pre-dates Bali’s Hindu culture. 

Visit our Front Desk to arrange a Tenganan Village tour at the best available price and enjoy a fascinating day filled with great photo opportunities.

We Care to Share

On February 23rd, 2024 a group of Amadea staff members visited family of the late Mr. Komang Sumiarsa, our former Security Supervisor.  Mr. Komang passed away one year ago due to illness. Now his wife has to raise and support the live of their three young children.

During the visit we brought them some basic goods such as pack of rice and cooking oil as well as pocket money for the kids. 

We were excited to see them recover well with the new life they now have. Everyone of us hope that the kids will finish their study well and do as much as we can to support them. 

Mrs. Komang thanked Amadea team and the support from guests thru Amadea Cares funding. They really appreciate this kindness.

Bali's Cultural Calendar

Bali’s on going cycle of auspicious days and ceremonial events revolves around two unique calendar systems. Every month sees an array of symbolic rituals and religious rites being performed around the island. 

Besakih Temple, also known as the Mother Temple for followers of the Hindu faith, will be celebrating its annual temple festival this month. For an entire month, worshipers will flock to the temple bearing offerings to pray for peace and prosperity. 

The name Besakih comes from the word “Basuki”, derived from the word “Wasuki” which means Salvation in the classical Sanskrit language. Whereas, in the Samudramanthana mythology, the same name “Besuki” in fact refers to the Dragon-God “Naga Besukian”, who inhabited Gunung Agung, the main volcano in Bali.

This grand temple complex has been revered as a holy place since ancient times. The first recorded mention of its existence comes from an inscription dating back to 1007 AD. It is known that since the 15th century Besakih was regarded as the central temple of Hinduism in Bali.

Besakih Temple is located in Karangasem Regency, it is about 58 kilometers to the northeast from Seminyak, around one and a half hour drive during normal traffic.
