‘The beach belongs to the public’: Hotel owner blames staff for kicking woman out of Sanur beach A Bali hotel owner has acknowledged that beaches are public property and that his staff shouldn’t have kicked out a local who was sitting on the sand in front of the hotel. Ida Bagus Gede Sidartha Putra, who owns Puri Santrian in Sanur, Denpasar, said he has notified his staff that all beaches, including the one that runs parallel to the hotel, are open for everybody. “All beaches belong to the public, and so if there are any public activities [at the beach] such as simply visiting, fishing, traditional ceremonies, the hotel has no right to restrict them,” he said. In the hotel’s 50-year history, Gede claimed that this is the first time a non-hotel guest has been ejected from the beach, taking it as a lesson on how to better train hotel staff to avoid such “miscommunication” from happening again. “I think this has been a miscommunication and we would never prohibit the public, especially those who are from Sanur,” he said. In videos first uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday, user @mirahsugandhi said a security staff from Puri Santrian approached her and asked whether or not she’s a guest at the hotel, before telling her to leave the beach area right in front of the hotel and move to the one next to it. “I’m just now learning that a hotel can own a beach. Oh my goodness I’m still in shock, why was I kicked out? Who owns this beach anyway?” Mirah said in the video. The clips quickly went viral and were reposted by Balinese community accounts, with many users commenting that such incidents occur quite often, and not only in that particular area. Earlier today, Mirah uploaded another video to Instagram saying that she has met with the hotel management and that the matter has been resolved. She also shared an apology video sent by the security staff in question, who identified himself as Alit. “Today the management team from Puri Santrian has clarified that the beach in front of Puri Santrian belongs to the public and not privately owned […] and this applies in all of Bali. The beach belongs to the public,” Mirah said. “Hopefully with this incident there will be no more discrimination against local residents from visiting the beach,” Bayu Cuaca, a local musician and Mirah’s spouse, said in the video.

Bali aims to vaccinate 2.8 million people by end of June Bali Governor Wayan Koster says his administration is aiming to vaccinate at least 2.8 million people in 100 days, as officials seek to reach at least 70 percent of the province’s population to achieve herd immunity. Nearly 140,000 people have so far been vaccinated, according to provincial government data, more than 44,000 of whom have received both of the required two doses since the province started inoculating people in mid-January. “I am working on getting more than 2.8 million people vaccinated as soon as possible,” Koster said at a press conference in Denpasar. The official timeline began yesterday on March 23 and is slated to wrap up on June 30, with 28,602 people targeted for daily vaccinations. This means Bali will require about 5.72 million doses of vaccines. Koster said that the province currently has 710,480 doses ready to be administered, including 200,000 doses from AstraZeneca. Indonesia has so far used only CoronaVac, developed by Chinese pharmaceutical firm Sinovac, but is beginning to administer AstraZeneca vaccines this week. Koster explained that officials might start using public facilities as vaccination centers, as long as they fulfill certain logistical requirements, such as having internet connection, tables, and chairs, while also considering the availability of medical workers to carry out the main task. Bali reportedly has 716 vaccinators on duty, with thousands of others providing support in the mass vaccination program, comprising both health workers and non-health workers.
