Welcome to the October 2011 edition of the Amadea Resort and Villas Newsletter | October 2011 Connect With Us

It is always a pleasure to present the latest edition of our online newsletter. It is now November and that means that Bali is gearing up for the start of the wet season. While the weather is still hot and humid, we can also expect occasional rain showers that are important to keep the island green.

Bali will be hosting US President Barack Obama and other heads of state for the 19th ASEAN Summit in Nusa Dua from 17th -19th November 2011. Security will be extremely tight during this prestigious international event and access into the Nusa Dua enclave will be restricted.

Another important event on Bali’s social calendar will be the annual Sanur Village Festival from 19th – 23rd November 2011. All festival activities this year will be at Matahari Terbit Beach, which is just north of the Grand Bali Beach Hotel. The event is being held to coincide with National Flora Week 2011 and will showcase various agricultural products. In addition, there will also be live music, food stalls, exhibitions, traditional performances and water sports activities to keep you entertained.

Time is running out to book a Romantic Escape Package for that special person in your life. Indulge in a 2 night stay in your preferred room category and enjoy an array of special privileges. Take pleasure in a complimentary Balinese Massage as well as a delicious set dinner at Bistro Batu Kali. This exclusive offer is valid until 25th December 2011.

Traditional Balinese Dance

Traditional Balinese Dance

Traditional dance is an intrinsic part of Bali’s unique cultural heritage. Some dances are performed to accompany religious ceremonies and rituals. Dance is also one of the most accessible forms of local artistry on the island that you can readily enjoy as a traveller.

The Barong & Rangda dance is known as one of Bali’s most popular forms of dance for the entertainment of tourists. It is performed daily in the village of Batubulan, which is on the way to Ubud. The Barong is a mythical creature with magical powers that has both lion and shaggy dog characteristics. The dance depicts the universal tale of good versus evil with a duel between the opposing forces.

If you are interested in seeing the Barong & Rangda dance or any other type of traditional Balinese performance, please contact our Guest Activity Assistant for detailed information.

Amadea's Temple Ceremony

Amadea's Temple Ceremony

Amadea Resort & Villas celebrated its first ever temple ceremony on 11th October 2011. It was an auspicious day on the Balinese calendar that also coincided with the Full Moon. A contingent of staff representatives travelled to Pulaki Temple in the north of Bali just one day before the ceremony. They collected holy water that was used by a local priest to purify and bless the resort’s temple along with an array of elaborate offerings. This religious ceremony was attended by all staff members and witnessed by in-house guests.
