Welcome to our  December 2012 edition of the Bali Dynasty Newsletter.

Don't let the palm trees and balmy outside temperatures mislead you . . . it's Christmas time in Bali.
It may be the start of the rainy season in Bali, but the spirit of Christmas is well and truly with us.
Our guests are welcomed by our 4 meter Christmas tree that adorns our Lobby.

The hotel is nearly full for the festive celebrations and for anyone wishing to join any of our festive events we urge them to book as soon as possible since these too are selling out quickly!

Bali Dynasty Resort scores a "Hat Trick"!

As the year draws to a close the Bali Dynasty Resort is celebrating its’ latest 3 accolades which have been awarded in December.

Firstly the Bali Dynasty Resort was recognised by the Travel Corporation and awarded a Gold Plaque in recognition of the resorts’ outstanding partnership and cooperation throughout 2012 enabling it to become the number one supporter in Bali. The Travel Corporation encompasses both New Horizons Holidays and Creative Holidays and is one of the biggest wholesaler producers of room nights out of Australia to Bali.

The second award was the accomplishment for the second year on the run for the Bali Dynasty Resort as the Best Family Resort in Indonesia as recognised by the Indonesian Tourism  and Travel Awards for 2102 / 13 which was conducted through an online poll as well as final selection committee who reviewed the hotels credentials and feedback from guests.

The third award was that of achieving an “Emerald”; the highest accolade possible in the Tri Hita Karana awards which recognises the significant achievements in incorporating spiritual, social and environmental principles and practices into the business which the resort has done through the Bali Dynasty Charity Effort, supporting a remote education project in north eastern Bali as well as its’ efforts to support the spiritual beliefs and to ensure that the hotel operates with minimum impact on the environment which it has been focusing on through its’ EC3 programme.

Earlier in the year the Bali Dynasty Resort also received recognition from Holiday With Kids as the best Family Resort in Bali as voted by Holiday with Kids, an Australian holiday publication.

Over the past year the resort has focused on further enhancing its’ facilities to create an even more memorable family experience with the addition of the new Kids Water Fun Zone with its’ giant bucket and water cannons as well as the introduction of the High Flyer Trapeze School, a thrilling experience for all the family which helps overcomes inhibitions and builds self confidence. In addition to this the resort has also launched the Ashoka Spa in June 2012 which offers a variety of spa treatments which also focus on treatments for him and her, as well as for children.

The resort continues to enhance its product offering through an activity programme which runs seven days a week for all ages as well as in the Teen Club and Kids Club offering an array of activities from village walks, water volleyball, towel origami lessons, Indonesian lessons where you cook your own authentic Balinese lunch leaving not a dull moment for those looking for more of a holiday experience than just lying around the pool!

Thank you all, our improvement couldn't be made without your valuable feedback and suggestions, so our achievement is yours too!

 

What's Tri Hita Karana

As the weather keeps changing all the time; that is why we need to keep the harmony between God, Human and the Environment. In Bali, they have the concept of Tri Hita Karana, it is a unique Balinese Hindu lifestyle philosophy that embodies the belief that physical and spiritual wellbeing is achieved through a balanced existence. This concept extends to maintaining a positive relationship between man, the environment and God Almighty.

Similarly, traditional Balinese architecture also adheres to the basic principles of this religious ideology. Village homes as well as temples are built using an age-old measuring system to ensure harmony between the structure and its owner. The size of any new dwelling or shrine is tailored to the height specifications and other body measurement of the family patriarch. All construction is followed by an intricate blessing ritual whereby the building is ‘brought to life’ with offerings and sacred mantras.

Cultural Calendar

Saraswati Day Celebration in Bali  
Bali’s Hindu community will celebrate Saraswati Day on the 12th of January 2013, which occurs every 210 days on the local Balinese calendar system. Saraswati is an auspicious day on Bali’s religious calendar that honours education and all forms of higher learning. Schools and universities around the island will mark this occasion by placing offerings of fruit and flowers on books and computers. Students then gather for a session of communal prayer to express gratitude for past achievements and guidance for future academic endeavours.

The beautiful Balinese Hindu Goddess of Knowledge, Dewi Saraswati, is the ultimate symbol of this day. She rides upon the back of an elegant swan resting on a bed of lotus flowers to show her eternal wisdom and holiness. In each of her four hands she bears a tool that is associated with humanity, science and the arts to emphasize that obtaining knowledge is a never ending cycle.
