KEEPING IT NATURAL AT SANDAT GLAMPING.

GLAMOROUS CAMPING - GLAMPING - OFFERS BENEFICIAL, LOW-IMPACT TOURISM THAT CELEBRATES NATURE.

WHERE NATURE MEETS DESIGN A PASSION for travelling to places where nature is still unspoiled, and for elegant, sophisticated but unconventional décor are the two ingredients that led Emanuela and her husband Federico – a couple of Italians who live near Venice – to give life to a new form of hospitality: glamour+camping, a.k.a glamping.

Emanuela and Federico started on their journey in 2009 with the opening of the rst glamping site in Italy, Glamping Canonici Di San Marco, followed in 2013 by Sandat Glamping Tents in Ubud, created after the couple had been bewitched by Bali's unspoilt natural beauty and the culture of its people.

Joined on their journey by Venetian friends Silvia and Stephen, they spent 13 months creating the property and in the process became promoters of sustainable and ethical tourism, employing entirely Balinese sta at the property, many of whom were taught in local vocational schools.

GREEN-PHILOSOPHY … a lifestyle A global increase in pollution, a depletion of energy resources, the enormous production of waste and the continued demand for new developments have deservedly focussed the world's gaze on environmental issues in recent years. Nature is becoming increasingly threatened, and as a result has become a precious commodity to be cherished by the third millennium traveller eeing urban centres. Increasingly, these travellers look to nd contact with nature and with the rich cultures that inhabit it, and they look to experience both in some luxury. GLAMOUR + CAMPING … for sustainable tourism Glamping ('glamourous camping'), as a sustainable tourism model, can realise this dream. Using eco structures with minimal environmental impact on the landscape, glamping resorts like Sandat integrate perfectly with the environment, yet provide all the comforts of a luxury hotel stay. And they o er drama in this narrative too, with the central structure of the resort standing at 10-metres high and created entirely from natural materials locally sourced. Sandat's striking yoga and meditation Shala also o ers an expression of this bio-building philosophy, using bamboo to make a bold design statement.

ECOLOGY & DESIGN … a new union Concepts that until recently were mutually exclusive today nd their expression in luxury camping, that combines the fun of a holiday in touch with nature with the advantages of a service equal to that on o er in multi-starred hotels.

A study done by one of the major operators in the sector revealed recently that glamping attracts 'bene cial' tourism: eco-educated, nonstandard and therefore enterprising and curious individuals, it is a tourism of 'word-of-mouth' that avoids tourist packages, detests crowds and seeks out nature, landscapes and low density areas of human settlement.

THE APURVA KEMPINSKI

LEFT: SUSTAINABLE WEDDINGS. ABOVE: GOING GREEN.

SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY: THE APURVA KEMPINSKI BALI SHOWCASES THEIR

COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL VITALITY.

AS part of the largest industry in Bali, The Apurva Kempinski Bali has always recognised their responsibility to take ownership of reducing the impact they have on the environment. The ve-star establishment has been known to implement a series of initiatives, each targeting di erent aspects of its sustainability commitment.

The latest breakthrough from the resort came in the form of a Sustainable Wedding package: a new way for couples to celebrate their union while being mindful of their impact on the environment. To bring this programme to life, like-minded partners who share the same vision are invited. Partners such as Design Mills, SukkhaCitta, Puri Ata, Taga Woodcraft, Plaga Farm, Tanamera Co ee, and Balian Water joined this special project. Each of the companies share the resort’s passion for sustainability, and has brought together their product and expertise to the table. From potted plants to handcrafts as souvenirs from the ceremony, various aspects that can be reused and repurposed are incorporated into the celebration. Food and beverage o ers products from partners who are committed to respecting the environment and community they work with, and a waste management system is put in place.

Although the sustainable wedding package is one of the resort’s most distinctive sustainability approaches, it is only part of the actions that have been introduced. Ever since its opening in 2019, the award-winning property has minimised the use of singleuse plastic. This decision was based on its awareness of the damaging e ect that plastic waste has on the environment, and the resort has been replacing single-use plastic, such as straws, with biodegradable products. Green Linen Artefact was also introduced to the guests as a way to enhance their local experience, and re ect the true craftsmanship of Kempinski. At the resort, this artefact is presented in the form of Jalak Bali, also known as the Bali starling, the island’s indigenous bird. The artefact is placed on the bed by the guest, to indicate that they would like to have their linen replaced. By leaving the artefact on the bedside table, the guest indicates that they would like to save water by having their linen replaced the following day. The internationally-acclaimed resort is also using their rooftop space to grow various types of greens, in order to establish a more sustainable kitchen in the resort. Plants are grown in a hydroponic and soil cultivation system. These plants are then harvested, and used as cooking ingredients.

In collaboration with Diversey, the ‘Linens for Life’ programme provides free face masks made from clean and hygienic discarded hotel linen to people in the local community who are in need. Meanwhile, the Soap for Hope programme provides at-risk people with access to soap, and information about how and when to use it. Soaps from the resort are cut and disinfected and pressed together to form a new soap bar.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali has been actively monitoring and reporting its environmental and social impact from its operations, including indicators such as energy and water consumption, community engagement and much more. This is done through EarthCheck, the world’s leading scienti c benchmarking, certi cation and advisory group for travel and tourism. The resort also is also looking to gradually expand opportunities for greater impact, and is currently working on new initiatives to be launched in 2023.

When asked about their sustainability programmes, General Manager Vincent Guironnet shared “We have always viewed sustainability as absolutely essential, not only for ourselves as a business entity, but also for the next generation. We are always on the lookout for more ways to incorporate sustainability into our guests' experiences, and we hope that this can encourage and inspire more people to take part in the movement.”

ONEWORLD AYURVEDA

THE YAK CHECKED IN WITH CLAUDE CHOUINARD, FOUNDER OF BALI’S RENOWNED

ONEWORLD AYURVEDA AND ONEWORLD RETREATS, TO DIG DEEPER INTO THEIR

AUTHENTIC PANCHAKARMA (DETOX) PROGRAMS AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

BONJOUR Claude, what inspired you to found Oneworld Ayurveda? Thank you, I was introduced to Ayurveda in 1993 while on a pilgrimage in India. I found the virtues of this ancient science coherent and fascinating. Ten years later my partner and I founded Oneworld Retreats and introduced some Ayurvedic treatments. As the treatments were valued by our retreat participants, the seed to go deeper into Ayurveda was planted, and in 2016, we launched Oneworld Ayurveda.

Isn’t Ayurveda rather far away from your own cultural roots and upbringing? Did you have any challenges to overcome in this respect? Indeed it is, yet my parents were always open to alternative medicine – my mother had learned from preceding generations how to prevent and cure illnesses with natural remedies. When I discovered Ayurveda and learned about the science behind it, I inherently understood the principles and how nature is our greatest healer. Tell us more about Oneworld Ayurveda – the Panchakarma centre and your healing detox programs? Our Panchakarma centre is located in an idyllic location, surrounded by Bali’s most breath-taking rice terraces. In Tegallalang, we o er programs to genuinely help participants heal, detox, reset, and let go of addictions. The day starts with yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques to calm the mind, all meals served are tailored to our guests’ needs and are freshly prepared according to Ayurvedic principles. Guests also have two treatments a day as prescribed by our Ayurvedic consultants in preparation for their detox.

What are your guests looking for from their Panchakarma at Oneworld Ayurveda? People come to Oneworld Ayurveda for di erent reasons – some people are simply looking to do a detox and cleanse, while others may have more serious health issues. When you arrive at Oneworld Ayurveda you will have an extensive session with our Ayurvedic consultants who will assess your bio-energies (doshas) and determine any imbalances while also taking into consideration any underlying health conditions you may have. From there they will customize your treatment to address these imbalances. It is always interesting, many people come with the simple goal of losing weight, but after their consultations they realize the reason they have the extra weight is due to a health condition they may not even be aware of.

What changes do the guests see in themselves after doing a Panchakarma? Guests leave understanding their individual body types better and how to treat themselves well to avoid imbalances and illness – we provide detailed instructions for each guest on how to live according to Ayurvedic principles and as per their doshas. For others, with serious medical conditions, we have seen dramatic results in which they have become

less reliant on western medicines and learned to understand how to manage their conditions naturally.

How ‘close’ is a Panchakarma at Oneworld Ayurveda to a Panchakarma people may experience in India? What are the commonalities and di erences? There are many styles of Panchakarma in India, from the most basic to the most luxurious. Here in Bali, we position ourselves as a comfortable, yet authentic Panchakarma experience. For us, it is all about results, so we adhere to strict guidelines – for example, our guests are not allowed to be disturbed or tempted by going to town during their Panchakarma. We recommend days of silence, while ca eine, alcohol, or any processed food or drinks are not allowed. The more our guests embrace their Panchakarma program as a chance for a total mental and physical reset the better the results will be.

What distinguishes us from Panchakarma programs in India, is the marriage of this ancient wisdom through our world-class Indian Ayurvedic consultants, with the warmth and charm of Balinese therapists who are all highly trained in traditional Ayurvedic treatments. There is something special about the care Balinese people o er. Guests leave Oneworld Ayurveda saying they feel they have been truly nurtured.

What sets Oneworld Ayurveda apart from other health and wellness retreats in Bali? In recent years the island has become ooded with di erent yoga, meditation, and wellness retreats, which o er certain styles and knowledge. What is sometimes missing from these retreats is how these elements can be incorporated into one’s overall health. At Oneworld Ayurveda, upon arrival, you will have an in-depth session with our Ayurvedic consultants who will then tailor a plan just for you.

Besides the actual Panchakarma program, what other activities do guests experience at Oneworld Ayurveda? During their stay, our Ayurvedic consultants and chefs lead a range of discussions and workshops on Ayurvedic wisdom and cooking, giving people the tools they need to continue living healthily once they return home.

What is coming up for Oneworld Ayurveda in the near future? We’re very excited to announce that we’re currently in the process of expanding Oneworld Ayurveda due to demand from our guests and a growing interest in Ayurveda globally. Our beloved Oneworld Retreats site in Ubud is undergoing a transformation into an Ayurvedic Centre that will o er both Panchakarma programs as well as yoga retreats with an Ayurvedic in uence. We’ll be relaunching the new Oneworld Retreats in November this year, you can see more on this at www.oneworldretreats.com

Where would you like to see Oneworld Ayurveda in ve years? We would like to see Oneworld Ayurveda be the reference point worldwide for healing, detoxing and rejuvenating programs. One of our objectives is to see the family grow both in Bali and abroad, and to be able to o er our team members the best quality of life possible. Do you have any empowerment or grassroots programs? We have recently created a new business “Oneworld Collection”, a gift collection available in all our outlets and soon to be also available online. The shares of this venture are 100% owned by our sta members, everyone is invited to become a shareholder and we provide a monthly payment agreement to purchase the shares. This project ensures extra revenue for our sta as well as a deep feeling of belonging to the Oneworld family.

If investors wished to contact you to nd out more about your expansion plans and what you are looking for in a possible partner for a Oneworld Ayurveda in another part of the world, how would they best get in touch? It’s best to contact us by email, at the moment of answering this question, we are still in the process of developing partnership possibilities.

Claude – thank you very much for your time and passion.
