Support for Bali Tourism Workers
The past one and a half year has hit Bali tourism industry very hard. Hundred thousand of people lost their job with many return to home villages to help their family farming or find other jobs in the town.
At Amadea we always think positively and do our best to give support in anything we can to help the community although it is in a small scale. In August the Amadea and Asparagus Restaurant team up to distribute free meals to tourism workers and other public around Kayu Aya street including hotel workers, shop keepers, massage therapist, road cleaners, security guard, drivers etc.
“We are in this together so we feel that we should do whatever we can do to help our colleagues especially in tourism industry. We start with those who are very close to our location here on Jalan Kayu Aya. We bought rice, chicken meat, spices and vegetable from local shop and our kitchen team cooked them with love. Other team members take part in packaging and distribution. I am very thrilled to see the high spirit amongst our team that they can do something good, even though small”, says Wayan Warta, the General Manager of Amadea Resort & Villas Seminyak.
The activity which is called Sharing is Caring was conducted twice a week every Monday and Thursday for three weeks in August in conjunction with the Indonesia Independence Day celebration.

Bali's Cultural Calendar
Pagerwesi
Bali's cultural calendar is a continuous cycle of ceremonies and rituals associated with the Hindu faith, there are many auspicious occasions including Pagerwesi.
Pagerwesi is another important religious holiday that involves prayers and offerings we held on Wednesday 1st September 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 11th September 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.

Travel Inspiration: Explore Bali by Bike
Discover the beauty of Bali and its unique cultural traditions up close and personal with a guided cycling excursion that ventures into the very heart of the island. Amadea works closely with two experienced operators that carry out daily trips in inspiring locations.
Mason Adventures was the adventure company of its kind in Bali and has a proven safety record. It offers travellers the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of mainstream tourism and experience the cooler climate of Bali’s hill region. Each trip uses brand new mountain bikes and supporting safety equipment. Riders follow a downhill trail that passes through sleepy villages and back roads. It is a fascinating insight into daily life in rural Bali.
Mason Adventures also conducts a cycling tour that is suitable for healthy guests of all ages. It begins from a mountain starting point and winds its way down through 26 km of lush valleys and village hamlets, pasing Hindu temples and lush rice terraces. Expert guides will explain the history of the land, culture and its people at scenic spots along the way. In addition, Mason Adventures Tours offer extra value packages combining cycling with a rafting expedition or elephant safari ride.
All cycling excursions are inclusive of return transfers, complimentary mineral water, a cold towel and a delicious buffet luncheon upon completion. Please contact our Guest Service Assistance to make the necessary booking arrangements for a fun cycling experience with your preferred operator.
