Traditional Galungan festival Bali

The festival celebrates the Hindu gods and, most importantly, the triumph of good over evil. It is believed that during these 10 days, the Balinese gods descend to earth for the festivities;s other than that also the ancestral spirits also join the gods and descend to be part of the festivities. For this reason, lavish decorations are done throughout the island to honor their arrival.

On the right side entrance of every home is an enormous bamboo pole covered and beautifully decorated with woven young coconut leaves, cakes, fruits, and flowers. The last day of the festival is most important as it is the climax of the ten day Galungan.

The day is spent in prayers and a special ritual ceremony held for the Balinese ancestors' spirits. Traditional dishes are prepared and offered to the gods at temples and shrines, and all the families come together to eat and celebrate, wearing traditional clothes and dress. If one is in Bali during the festival, they are in for an experience of a lifetime time witnessing all the events and being part of this spectacular festival.

Damai eco-role-model for the region’s resorts

Damai in Lovina, North Bali, has for years been implementing and improving an ambitious environmental programme covering waste treatment, water- and energy conservation, and a detailed manual for organic resort operation. Now the leading resort of North Bali has been chosen to be a role model for other hotels and resorts of the region, and also serve as a field laboratory for new concepts in sustainable resort operation. The regional government in Singaraja has just launched a wide reaching programme for making the North Bali tourism even greener, and Damai is put forth as the example for other resorts on the island.

”The things we do at Damai are fairly low-tech and can easily be adapted by both a family-run losmen and a 50-room hotel. There is no hocus pocus, and the equipment used is mostly locally made, not imported from Basel or Toronto,” says Rory McTiernan, who is the head of Damai’s environmental programme. McTiernan has a university degree in agriculture, and has for decades also been working as an environmental consultant for various industries across the Indonesian archipelago.

”Many of the practices are not only more cost-effective, but often simple and easy to implement, such as sorting the garbage and ensuring proper disposal of waste, although we sometimes need to find alternate ways of recycling the materials, since no institutions exist up here. With the plastic water bottles, for instance, we have put up an open container by the main road where we just put all of them in, and during the day they simply get picked up by locals who need them for something in their business or in the household.”

’As opposed to the South part of the island, tourism has not yet had any harmful impact on the environment up here. North Bali is still untouched, and it is a wise and commendable initiative launched by the local government to keep it that way. We are proud to be chosen as the model resort, and happy that we are allowed to share our experiences to keep Bali green.

”Your mandi is ready, Madam”

Bali is to spa what Paris is to fashion. The serene tropical island is like a trend lab for spa therapies, and the luxurious boutique hotels are at constant work to design new inventive treatments to bring you bodily bliss as well as perfecting the traditional Asian techniques to restore balance in your body’s energies. To spoil yourself with the latest bid for the ultimate in pampering, you should travel to the Damai on the island’s pristine North Coast and ask your villa butler for a ’mandi’.

Mandi is the Indonesian word for bath. In Damai’s version, it is a treatment bath, performed in the luxurious space of your own villa bathroom by one or two of the resort’s experienced therapists. The treatments themselves are centered around the Javanese mandi lulur, the traditional flower bath that is both romantic and utterly enjoyable, combined with massages, body scrubs, aromatherapy, beauty treatments, and manicures. Perhaps combined with servings of champagne, fruits, and teas.

The treatments are created by Made and Sally Wijaya, the husband and wife team who lead the Damai Spa.
