TEAMTALK

THE 17TH ANNIVERSARY ‘Om Swastiastu...’

It has been 17 years since Bali & Beyond magazine was born. Just like a person, Bali & Beyond has gone through a lot of adjustments to keep it updated with the current era – it was first published as a tabloid and then went through a lot of remodeling until it became the magazine that you now see. But although the design has been changing, our mission to support all aspects of the culture, tourism, and lifestyle in Bali and beyond will never change.

In Indonesia, the 17th birthday marks how one is ready to embark on a more colorful journey, as one can still be as carefree as a child but also has to be more responsible

like an adult. This is the philosophy of the Westin Rainbow Cake, courtesy of the new pastry chef at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali that you can find in ‘DINE & DELIGHTS’ – alongside three other extravagant cakes from Mulia Bali, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts Bali, and Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran. All are made especially to celebrate our 17th anniversary.

Bali is also known for its charm of mixing both worlds – the traditional and the modern.

And this is something we would also like to celebrate. Flip through CRAFT & CULTURE to see how Bali has become a melting pot for Indonesian culture. FASHION FOLIO also embraces the beauty of integrating traditional and modern aspects. Meanwhile, a stay at The St. Regis Bali Resort in REST & RELAXATION and a trip to Nusa Lembongan with Pulau Luxury Charters in LITTLE LOVES will take you on a luxurious modern getaway.

We invite you to join us in celebrating our 17th anniversary. After all, everything that we do means nothing without you, our loyal readers. So before you flip through our pages, raise your glass with us and say…

CHEERS!

VOLUNTEER AWARD Last May, The 101 Bali Legian was awarded the 1st Corporate Volunteer Award from Red Cross Bali, an achievement to honor the hotel as the first to implement humanitarian programs based on a memorandum with Red Cross Bali. The 101 Bali Legian has been proactive in raising awareness of the importance of prevention and disaster risk reduction in Legian, and motivates the employees to volunteer in the Corporate Volunteer program. This award will hopefully motivate other hotels to raise the same awareness to minimize the impact if a disaster occurs.

Down small alleys and in the rural villages each and every day, colorful weddings, tooth filing ceremonies, three-month infant blessings, and a myriad of other ceremonies are performed.

BUCKET LIST IN THIS SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY ISSUE, OUR INTREPID CONTRIBUTOR HAS COMPILED A LIST OF SPECIAL ACTIVITIES FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE MEMORY IN BALI.

By Ariko Ahmad

Night Surfing

Night surfing at Komune in Keramas is the first permanent night surfing installation in the world! The surfing sessions are scheduled – each session only allows six surfers in the water at the same time, so it is better to book in advance. However, since surfing these waves in the evening can be really daunting, this activity is recommended for advance surfers only. Others can enjoy munching on Komune’s delicious pizzas and sipping their strong cocktails while watching the local surfers from one of Bali boardrider clubs shred the waves at their night surfing show. But please do check the weather and the wave conditions before you go. www.komuneresorts.com

Flyboarding This new and exhilarating water-based activity of flyboarding is now available in Tanjung Benoa! First introduced to the island in late 2014 by Flyboard Bali, flyboarding is not for the faint hearted – although beginners are very much welcome to try it out. The sport relies on the strength of your lower body and good sense of balance. You will wear a special boots attached to a board that is connected by a long hose to a jetski – the jetski will give water pressure to the board, and the jet nozzles underneath the board will boost you up to 15 meters above the water. Pretty cool, isn’t it? www.flyboard-bali.com

3

Mount Batur

Hiking to the top of the mountain takes about two hours, and believe me, you want to see the sunrise from up there.

Bali Trekking & Tour Guide can guide you to the top of Mount Batur for just Rp. 650,000/person, with minimum of two people in the tour. Yes, you can find cheaper options, but Bali Trekking & Tour Guide will save you from the hassle of renting a car as they will pick you up and drive you to the starting point at the Toyabungkah Village in Kintamani, and then guide you to the top of the mountain. www.balitrekkingtour.com

Kite Festival

Taking place at Padang Galak in the Sanur area, this annual festival is not to be missed. This kite festival is actually a competition between villages in the Denpasar area, and the kites are believed to deliver prayers and gratitude to the Gods in the hope of a good harvest season. The most unique part is the kites are huge in size – they can be up to four meters wide and ten meters long, and are designed with unique shapes such as Bebean (fish), Janggan (birds), and Pecukan (leaves). The next best part is that it’s free for anyone to watch! Don’t forget your camera, as you will definitely get some cool shots for your Instagram throwback posts.

Colorful Menjangan

The trip to Menjangan Island, which is located just off the coast of the West Bali National Park, takes about a threehour drive from South Bali, followed by another 20-minute boat ride. For an ultimate adventure, why don’t you book in at The Menjangan, a wonderful resort on the west coast of the national park? For guests, The Menjangan can arrange a snorkeling trip to the small and uninhabited Menjangan Island, where the waters are crystal clear.

There are seven world-class diving sites that offer magnificent coral gardens and plunging reef walls.

Expect to see a vast range of marine life such as sea fans, reef sharks, and schools of snapper. www.themenjangan.com

8

Bali’s Best Pool

The pool at the Hanging Gardens Ubud deserves its prominence as one of the most famous, if not the best, swimming pools in the world.

Set in the middle of the resort’s 3.2 hectares of land, this iconic twin-level swimming pool is the place for an ultimate luxurious getaway. As you take a plunge into this gorgeous pool, your senses will be overawed by the stunning surrounding rainforest and the calming sounds of the Ayung River below. For couples, the ‘Romance under the Stars’ is a unique dining experience for two where you dine on a specially made wooden platform on the pool with the stars twinkling high above. www.hanginggardensubud.com

9 7

Yoga Classes

This famous spot in Ubud is wonderful for yoga and healing, and the perfect sanctuary for weary souls. Nestled among the rice paddies, the Yoga Barn offers 75 yoga classes a week conducted by professional instructors. There are also meditation classes and holistic therapies, but the one you must try is the Vinyasa Flow Yoga that will surely drench you with sweat – which is why it is my favorite. As for those who are more concerned with healing, you should try the Yin Yoga for Healing class, which requires less athletic prowess though that doesn’t mean you’d be less sweaty. www.theyogabarn.com

BALI&BEYOND JULY 2015

Baby Turtle Release

Why don’t you enrich your knowledge about the endangered sea turtles, and help them start their adventure in the big ocean?

Interested? Head to the Turtle Conservation and Education Center in Serangan, a small island just off the coast of Sanur. The center is striving to save these turtles from becoming an endangered species - they take care of injured animals and collect turtle eggs from tourist beaches and bring them to their hatchery. If you’re lucky, you might be able to release one of these month old hatchlings to the sea from Serangan’s white sandy beach. www.turtleconservancy.org

:

Healthy Breakfast

Offering hearty and healthy smoothie bowls, Nalu Bowls is great for a sweet and refreshing treat during Bali’s balmy days. Inspired by Hawaiian culture that revolves around surfing and tropical ingredients, Nalu Bowls is perfect for the wave chasers out there to munch before or after surfing.

Each of their bowls consists of locally sourced ingredients like dragon fruit, fresh coconut, mango, papaya, spinach and bananas. I can wager that once you’ve tried one of these amazing bowls, you’ll go bananas for more – pun intended. www.nalubowls.com

23

Fun Teppanyaki

KO Japanese Restaurant at the InterContinental Resort Jimbaran is the perfect place for a fun interactive Teppanyaki experience. Imagine this; while cooking delectable Japanese specialties, the chefs entertain you with acrobatic moves and tricks, like chopping the omelets with what can only be described as superhuman speed, and the pièce de résistance – the flambé for steak and desserts. And all is done right before your very eyes! Must try: the Uluwatu Teppanyaki, a seven-course menu that includes tuna sashimi, a California roll, a fresh half lobster with lemon butter sauce, a tender beef tenderloin with red wine sauce, and a banana Teppanyaki that comes with a surprisingly amazing tofu ice cream! www.bali.intercontinental.com

Canyoning

Adventure & Spirit is the one for this marvelous activity, as it offers a wide range of packages with different levels of difficulties and duration. They also provide an eight-day Canyoneer Training Course, where at the end of it you’ll be quite an expert in jumping, sliding, caving, wading, abseiling, and sliding down Bali’s natural slopes, gorges, and waterfalls. www.adventureandspirit.com

22

Super Cold Brews Now as a professional beach bum myself, I believe that cold beer is the best company when watching the sun set. And -2o centigrade beers at the S.K.A.I. Beach Club at the Padma Resort Legian are the best option! There are four brands available for you to choose from: Bintang, Heineken, Anker, and San Miguel, and the price ranges from Rp. 60,000++ to Rp. 70,000++. It is more than a good deal considering what you’ll get is not just a pint of beer, but also a remarkable sunset session. www.padmaresortlegian.com

28

BALI&BEYOND JULY 2015

There are three waterfalls in Munduk you should visit: Golden Valley, Tanah Barak, and Melanting. Starting at the Golden Valley Waterfall is the best, as it is located on higher ground and you can savor the lush tropical forest on your way down to the Melanting Waterfall. Don’t be scared of getting lost, as there will be signs along the path. The best way to go waterfall hopping in Munduk is to start in the morning by a car. Book a place to stay for at least two nights for a full adventure – the Munduk Moding Plantation Nature Resort & Spa offers trekking packages to the waterfalls. For more options, you can also visit Gitgit Waterfall. www.mundukmodingplantation.com

This is probably the cheapest option in this list. All you need to do is buy some food, then head up north to the Bedugul Botanical Gardens. The entrance fee is Rp. 7,000/person for domestic visitors and Rp. 18,000/ person for foreign visitors. The garden is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and there you can enjoy lunch in the lush forest with a fresh breeze. The little ones can also learn all about the flora in Indonesia, as they have a cactus garden, a herbarium and much more. www.balibotanicgarden.org

Special Wednesdays

Boasting a chapel-like structure with a literal glass ceiling, this new club and lounge is the place to be seen. But now you don’t have to wait until Friday to have a great night out, as Mirror has themed parties every Wednesday. The first Wednesday of the month is the “Dolce & Banana”, where the dance floor is packed with unicorns in glitter, sparkles, and big wigs. On the second Wednesday, Mirror presents a night of old and new disco called “Night Fever”. Dubbed “Provocateur”, the third week is for blood red lipstick, killer heels, lingerie, and burlesque performances. The last Wednesday of the month is “Re:Format”, an open format music night where local talent is invited to play whatever music they want! www.mirror.id

Mad T-Party

This unique high tea pays homage to Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatters Tea Party. The Mad T-Party at W Bali offers sweet and quirky treats designed by Australia’s most celebrated pâtissier, Adriano Zumbo. These delights will also be accompanied by freshly-brewed tea and coffee, amazing French champagne, and six bespoke cocktails. You should try the unique and scrumptious Babi Guling (suckling pig) macaroons, which is the one and only on the island – if not the world! As for the special cocktails, my favorite is the Earl Grey Mandarin Sour, a lethal concoction of Beluga Vodka, orange juice, and Earl Grey syrup topped with Earl Grey foam. It is clear now why this high tea is a mad one? www.wretreatbali.com

The Silent Day

This is the one thing you must do before you die. Trust me, you will only need to do this once to get the memory of a lifetime. Spending Nyepi Day (the Day of Silence) in Bali feels like being transferred to another universe where everything is calm and you can really feel the spiritual atmosphere. There are plenty of hotels and resorts offering Nyepi packages where you can enjoy a fullboard accommodation and relaxing activities like enjoying spa treatments.

However, I would personally recommend that you rent a onebedroom villa in Canggu, Ubud, or Uluwatu to experience the real feeling of Nyepi. Also, the Ogoh-Ogoh festival held all across the island to ward off evil spirits just before Nyepi begins is a must-watch.

COLORFUL LIFE The 17th birthday is one of the most important days in one’s life, as it marks how one is ready to embark on a more colorful life – and that is the philosophy of this vibrant rainbow cake, courtesy of Executive Pastry Chef Wizdan Purnama at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali.

The Westin Rainbow Cake consists of six layers – blueberry, green tea, raspberry, lemon, mango, and orange. The texture of the cake is very soft and that’s what we love about it. But of course, we didn’t have the heart to cut the cake at first as the decoration looks so festive.

This rainbow cake is embellished with colorful pieces of chocolate on the outside, each color representing a layer inside. Chef Wizdan uses three techniques to create the decorations on top of the cake – pouring sugar for the green leaves, pulling sugar for the branches, and blowing sugar for the balloons. To top it off, he completes the cake with a cream cheese frosting and lemon macaroons.

THE GUILTY PLEASURE

THE EXTRAVAGANT TOWER As one of the most favorite wedding destinations in Bali, Mulia Bali is well known for its amazingly intricate pastries courtesy of Mulia Deli. They have created a number of astonishing wedding cakes, and our five-tiered silver birthday cake, The Sparkling 17th, is just as wowing.

The base on which the cake is set is made of acrylic adorned with crystals to resemble a chandelier.

It is then coated with fondant, and then sitting on top is our custommade cake. This creation represents the teamwork at Mulia Deli, as each of the pastry talents have their own specialty – some specialize in making the fondant, while others are focus on decorating, and others are carving the cake. Everyone plays an important role in making this cake one of a kind.

wonder this self-defense art is also called “the harmonious spirit” since we learn to defend ourselves without harming our aggressor.

CARPE DIEM In Japanese martial arts there is a saying, “Ichi-go, Ichi e.” It is the concept of appreciating our meeting with other people, respecting the moment, and seizing it because nobody knows what tomorrow will bring – we never know when is the last time we’re going to meet people, do we? This means we should not waste time and always seek progress by giving our best in each training session. And that we should also show others our greatest respect. In the western world, this concept is called “Carpe Diem.”

After I bid goodbye to Rai Wibawa and walked out of the dojo, I looked back once again. The dojo might look quite intimidating, but once the main doors are open there is nothing but synchronized movements, harmony, and peace in it. All I saw were students performing their best and fighters sharing mutual respect.

Call an ambulance by dialing 118, but it is a lot more practical and quicker to hire a taxi. Most hotels have on-call doctors on standby. For “Bali Belly”, Lomotil and Imodium eliminate symptoms, but not gastro-related infections. A fever along with symptoms requires doctor-prescribed antibiotics.

Drink as much liquid as possible. Isotonic drinks under various brand names are widely available and are known to replenish body hydration and replace fluids. For discomfort, diarrhea and cramping, drink strong, hot tea; avoid fruits and spicy foods.

Some day-biting mosquitoes carry dengue fever, but this is not a problem in tourist areas.

Bali is non-malarial and prophylaxis is not required. Mosquito bites, cuts or abrasions easily become infected in the tropics. Treat them immediately.

Drink only bottled or boiled water. Peel fruit before eating; avoid raw vegetables except at reputable restaurants. Ice in restaurants is safe.

Protect yourself from the intense equatorial sun.

Use high SPF sunblock and a hat.

AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases are increasing in Indonesia. Local sex workers have multiple partners from around the world.

They are not checked for sexually transmitted diseases. Act responsibly and use condoms, available over the counter at pharmacies.
