DANZA RESTAURANT & WINE | BAR

DANZA Restaurant & Wine Bar

Local cultural aficionados already know and love the Forum am Schlosspark in Ludwigsburg for its vibrant music, dance and theatre programme. DANZA is a restaurant that joins the ensemble following a thorough renovation of its gastronomic offering, skilfully picking up on the existing mood and taking it in an atmospheric, culinary direction.

Like in a theatre hall, the space opens up into the heights and leads onto an expansive glass façade. A large terrace, with a backdrop of a green chestnut avenue, is the stage set and constant point of reference for our interior staging. As if one were sitting in a light-flooded wintergarden, the spectacle of the natural environment outside can be experienced at first hand inside. When darkness falls, large pendant luminaires, set in rhythm with the window façade, set the scene for the magic of the night, as well as investing the room with a festive glow. Elegance that not only attracts attention, but also lingers on in your memory.

Whether for a first tête-à-tête dinner, a festive family reception, or a glass of good wine in the company of friends – the space is the ideal venue for all occasions. The spacious dining room with its high, tiered ceiling has been reorganised around the central bar. Just like in a theatre hall, we have angled the seats to face the windows. The tables in the ‘stalls’ offer seating close to the ‘stage’ as well as fine views of the exterior. The stools around the bar provide a slightly elevated view of the action, while the upholstered niche seating and curved alcoves give you the feeling of sitting in a private box. Different types of natural flooring provide clear orientation and zoning throughout the space.

The complete refit of the kitchen is much more than just a quick encore. With its expansive 600 m², it is responsible for catering for the entire Forum. In culinary terms, DANZA steals the show from many a restaurant with its creative, international cuisine: The fillet of beef stars alongside king prawn and wasabi, the tuna is resplendent in a costume of radish tsukemono, and just before the curtain falls, the entrance of a chocolate trio of crème, sorbet and mini cake builds up to a brilliantly appetizing finale. We have created a more than fitting setting for the playful sophistication and skilful culinary staging of the restaurant cuisine.

WELCOME TO PARADISE: INVEST ISLANDS UNVEILS GRAN MELIÁ LOMBOK, A LUXURIOUS NEW ECO-SANCTUARY

Scheduled to be launched in 2024, this spectacular allpool villa retreat in South Lombok blends natural charm and warm local hospitality with five-star facilities, presenting compelling opportunities for experience-seeking guests and visionary investors

Gran Meliá Lombok will be nestled on the beach at Torok Bay in South Lombok, surrounded by nature and overlooking the Indian Ocean

Lombok, Indonesia (15 February 2022): As the world reawakens and travellers start to rediscover the wonders beyond their own borders, one enchanting Indonesian island is gearing up to welcome guests back to paradise with a wide smile and a wealth of world-class, eco-sensitive activities. Lombok is a tropical wonderland that exudes exotic charm and serenity.

Just across a sparkling sea from Bali, this verdant isle is a vibrant centre of adventure that lets lifestyle-conscious guests unwind in a stunning setting, amid a landscape of lush jungles, volcanic peaks, pristine beaches and cerulean seas. From mindfulness moments such as seafront yoga sessions, spiritual temple visits, cultural encounters and rejuvenating spa therapies to invigorating activities such as surfing, snorkelling, water sports and jungle treks, Lombok is an island that soothes the soul and ignites the imagination. For a truly exhilarating experience, the world’s top riders will head to Lombok’s Mandalika International Street Circuit from 18-20 March 2022 for the island’s inaugural MotoGP. This forms part of a series of impressive new attractions being planned in the Mandalika area, a dedicated eco-focused economic zone that will form the focal point of Lombok’s emergence on the tourism scene.

Now, one breath-taking new resort is set to elevate the island’s travel and hospitality industry to spectacular new heights. Gran Meliá Lombok Resort & Spa is a masterpiece of high-style, low-impact design that weaves seamlessly into its tropical surroundings. Conceived and created by Invest Islands, the Asian real estate innovator, this unique five-star retreat is perfectly positioned at Torok Bay, a sheltered crescent-shaped stretch of sand framed by emerald headlands and shimmering rice fields.

Gran Meliá Lombok will feature over 110 spectacular pool villas, all promising luxurious amenities and plenty of personal space

Overlooking the Indian Ocean, just 25km from Mandalika and Lombok International Airport, Gran Meliá Lombok will feature approximately 110 dazzling pool villas, including a collection of blissful beachfront duplexes and 80+ one-, two- and three-bedroom hillside sanctuaries, all blessed with private pools and panoramic views.

Nestled among an expanse of native forest and swaying palm trees, this remarkable new resort will also house a wealth of five-star facilities, including the two-storey Waves Beach Club & Restaurant.

Each villa will be crafted in an indigenous architectural style, with elegant curved roofs and vaulted ceilings, while also being fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology, luxurious interiors, panoramic windows, expansive pool decks and uninterrupted ocean views. Sustainability is woven into every aspect of the property, from the use of organic, locally-sourced materials such as bamboo, to energy-saving fixtures, rainwater storage and solar panels. This blend of chic design and sensitive development and will also create a one-of-a-kind investment opportunity for second home owners with the vision to look beyond Bali.

“Gran Meliá Lombok is a game-changer for the island's lesser-explored southern coastline — finally a luxury option for those unwilling to sacrifice on comfort. Exceptional yet not exclusive, it is an amalgamation of residential and resort, with privately owned villas making it accessible to a wider market,” commented Jack Brown, Co-Founder, Invest Islands.

In line with the evocative spirit of Gran Meliá, the most refined brand from Spain’s Meliá Hotels International, this luxury resort will demonstrate an atmosphere of discreet elegance at every touchpoint, from its extraordinary architecture and its exceptional cuisine, to the warm and welcoming nature of the service. Even the smallest detail is infused with Spanish style, while also respecting and highlighting the island’s rich heritage.

While Gran Meliá Lombok is scheduled to open in 2024, it has already received international recognition. The resort was named as the “Best Hospitality Development” at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, which honours the finest real estate projects in rapidly developing region.

In the post-pandemic era, domestic and international travellers will increasingly seek destinations that blend serenity and seclusion with plenty of activities and attractions. Accessibility is the key, and Lombok enjoyed non-stop connections to cities such as Jakarta, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur before the disruption to global air travel. As the world starts moving again, Lombok will be served directly from many of Asia’s main gateway hubs, creating direct or convenient one-stop connectivity to the rest of the world. With a focus on responsible and sustainable development, this idyllic island’s tourism industry is perfectly positioned to thrive in the coming years.

Great anticipation for IFFA 2022: trade fair puts the industry's top themes on the agenda

The number of registrations for IFFA 2022 is excellent and reflects the mood and dynamism in the sector: after the long Corona absence, everyone is looking forward to meeting in person and to a lively exchange during the international industry get-together from 14 to 19 May 2022 in Frankfurt am Main.

IFFA offers even more in 2022: in addition to the traditional focus on meat processing, technologies for the manufacturing of products from alternative protein sources are now officially part of the fair's portfolio. The market for meat alternatives is booming worldwide and IFFA 2022 reflects this development with the new product group.

From 14 to 19 May 2022, visitors will experience innovations for all process steps in meat and protein processing on more than 120,000 square metres of exhibition space. Whether slaughtering, cutting, processing, packaging, selling, spices and additives: the leading companies from Germany and abroad will present their innovations at IFFA in Frankfurt am Main.

At the cutting edge: top themes at IFFA 2022

The demand for innovative automation and robotics solutions to optimise processes and counter the shortage of skilled workers in the sector remains high. Coupled with a corresponding digital concept, the plants can be monitored in real time. The next step into the future is the data-driven factory: the flow of data in both directions between production and the point of sale enables completely new forms of marketing. Food safety is the top priority throughout the entire food supply chain: Hygienic design and digital monitoring solutions play a major role here.

Climate-neutral by 2050 - that is what the European Green Deal demands. What does this mean for the meat and protein industry? The industry presents energyefficient technologies, sustainable packaging solutions and concepts to counter food waste at its international platform. And last but not least, IFFA 2022 will reflect two further megatrends: alternative proteins and individualisation in the butcher's trade.

Synergetic: the complementary programme

In addition to the exhibitors' product innovations, IFFA offers a varied complementary programme that takes up current developments in the sector. Specialist lectures with best-practice examples, special shows, competitions and guided tours offer visitors the opportunity to inform themselves, discuss and make new contacts. Another supporting programme item, which is one of the highlights of every IFFA, is the international quality competitions organised by the German Butchers' Association. In addition, the "IFFA

Forum" provides interested parties with specialist impulses on top themes from the fields of business, technology and development.

Safe at the Exhibition Centre

After the successful new start in the trade fair business, the desire for physical meetings is great. With the officially approved protection and hygiene concept, Messe Frankfurt makes personal, business encounters possible again, even in Corona times. The latest information on Messe Frankfurt’s protection and hygiene concept can be found here: www.iffa.com/hygiene.

Tickets for IFFA can be booked online from mid-February. www.iffa.com/tickets

IFFA - Technology for Meat and Alternative Proteins will take place from

14 to 19 May 2022 in Frankfurt am Main.
