TALK

‘Om Swastiastu...’

Bali without a doubt sets a high standard in trends for Indonesia’s tourism industry. From

high quality food to world-class venues, Bali is always attracting curious tourists who want

to keep themselves updated with everything that is happening on the island. Therefore, this

month we put you in touch with those that have become the talk of the island.

One highly trending topic is healthy food, which all began in Ubud. Raw food is no

longer an exceptional thing in Bali thanks to the dedication of health-conscious eaters

that spread their positive message to the rest of the island. But did you know that it is not

actually that hard to enjoy this healthy lifestyle? Our interview with Shanti Allen, one of the

pioneers of raw food in Ubud and the owner of Alchemy Café, in ‘PROFILE & PORTRAIT’

just might inspire you.

Beach clubs are something that Bali is famous for – so in ‘LIFESTYLE & LEISURE’ we

introduce you to fi ve beach clubs in Bali that set the bar very high, all handpicked by

our contributor Paul V. Walters. Your holiday won’t be complete if you haven’t witnessed

Bali’s renowned sunrises and sunsets – fi nd some stunning photos of these moments

captured by Phil Green in ‘FOTO FOLIO’.

We also reveal some tourist destinations beyond Bali that are currently trending like the

Pasar Santa in Jakarta. Flip through ‘CAPITAL CORNER’ to fi nd out how an old market has

turned into the “it” place in the capital city. Our contributor Agi R. Andante paid a visit to

the trending Kalibiru in Yogyakarta on her road trip from Bali to Jakarta, which she tells us

about in ‘BEYOND BALI’.

As always, we hope you enjoy fl ipping through our pages and having a happy time

exploring the island. And don’t forget to snap some holiday photos and upload them to

your social media account. You don’t want to miss being a part of Bali’s trending topics,

do you?

‘Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om…’

RE

Here in Bali, people

speak “Basa Bali”

(Balinese) as their

mother tongue.

Indonesian and

English are widely understood

and you’ll also fi nd people in

the tourism industry who have a

handle on languages like Mandarin

and Russian, but Basa Bali reigns

supreme when it comes to casual

interactions on the island. Learning

Basa Bali doesn’t have to be diffi cult,

so why not try to get a few phrases

under your belt for a more colorful

experience while you are here?

THREE LEVELS

There are three levels of Basa

Bali, depending on who you are

addressing. Basa Bali Alus is the

highest level of Balinese reserved

for formal situations and for those

who are highly respected (parents,

employers, people with higher

caste). Basa Bali Madya is the

middle level of Balinese that is

used for day-to-day interaction with

friends and family. Basa Bali Kasar

is the lowest level used to express

anger or used with close friends, as

it can be considered rude in certain

situations.

PRONOUNCIATION

Now that you know that there

are three levels, don’t let this

discourage you. We’re not aiming

for perfection, just a few basic

skills. Here’s a simple guide to

pronunciation:

• Balinese is pronounced not

too differently than other Malay-

infl uenced languages. For

example “tiang”, which means

“I”, is pronounced tea-young

• The stress should be put on the

last syllable. So if you were to say

“Basa Bali” you would put the

stress on sa and li

• The most common vowel in Basa

Bali is “a” but it is also the most

diffi cult because there are many

ways to pronounce it.

For example:

• natah (yard) is similar to “a”

in “rather”

A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO THE

BALINESE LANGUAGE

MELAJAH BASA BALI

PHO

TO B

Y J

OSEPH

WA

NG


• apa (what) is similar to “o”

in “how”

• jelema (human) is similar to

“i” in bird

• Pronouncing “e” in Basa Bali

is similar to “i” in bird

• Pronouncing “ng” in Basa Bali

is similar to “ng” in “mingle”

SENTENCE STRUCTURE

The sentence structure is identical

to Indonesian, for example:

• “Tiang ngajeng nasi” (I’m eating

rice) is subject-verb-object

• “umah ageng” (big house) is

noun-adjective

• “kereng megae” (working hard)

is adverb-verb

FUN TIPS

• Instead of saying good

morning or good afternoon,

“Om Swastiastu” is the common

expression used. To end a

conversation or to say goodbye,

you can say “tiang mepamit”

(I have to leave).

• When giving directions, the

Balinese rarely use left and right.

Instead, they will use north, south,

east and west to direct you to

where you are trying to go.

• The Balinese name their children

based on their order of birth. The

fi rst child is named Wayan, Iluh,

Gede or Putu; the second is Made,

Kadek or Nengah; the third Nyoman

or Komang and the fourth Ketut.

So if your name is John Doe and you

are the fi rst child in your family, your

Balinese name would be

“Gede John Doe.”

RE

FROM A BLISSFUL HAVEN NESTLED IN QUIET

KARANGASEM TO BALI’S VERY OWN IBIZA-INSPIRED

PARTIES IN SEMINYAK, THESE ARE THE TOP FIVE

BEACH CLUBS THAT OUR CONTRIBUTOR PAUL V.

WALTERS HAS HANDPICKED FOR YOU.By Paul V. Walters

JOIN THE CLUB!

Club. It’s funny how

when you put the

word ‘club’ into a

sentence it suddenly

adds a certain sense

of exclusivity to the context of the

paragraph. It has such a nice ring to

it, somewhere to belong, somewhere

private or, part of the ‘club crowd,’

far away from the everyday.

Bali offers an eclectic mix of

beach clubs lining the coast, many

often situated in spectacular spots

hidden below pristine cliffs or behind

dense foliage. Some have brought

Mediterranean style and the Ibiza-

inspired party scenes to the island

while a handful of others retain a

more local and traditional setup,

serving as seaside weekend retreats

for families, friends, and locals

alike who are having a holiday.

With world-class chefs and skilled

bartenders, some of these top venues

spice up the sunny coastline while

the sun is still up.

I have to say, even as a long-

term resident of Bali I have not

been an active participant in these

clubs, but I think now is the time to

‘sample the goods’. What I didn’t

anticipate was the sheer number

of beach clubs operating around

Bali and so I restricted myself to

fi ve establishments who seem to be

doing a splendid job of making sure

visitors have a wonderful day out.

BLISSFUL HEAVENMy fi rst stop was the beach club

at the Amankila resort. Nestling in

The iconc three-tiered pool at Amankila carved into the slope of the hill


the shadow of Mount Agung in a

sleepy village in Karangasem and

overlooking the Lombok Strait, the

Amankila is part of the Aman Resorts

group that is renowned for marketing

and managing small to medium

sized luxury resorts worldwide.

This stunning property literally

tumbles down the slopes of a hill

to the beach, past free- standing

suites and a sparkling three-tiered

pool set amidst luscious tropical

gardens teeming with frangipani

and bougainvillea. The beach club

has its own 50-meter swimming pool

shaded by tall waving palms, and

is surrounded by impossibly green

lawns rolling down to a patrolled

black-sand beach complete with

crashing waves.

Beautifully attired staff appear as

if by magic to prepare day beds and

fi ll small side tables with jugs of ice-

cold water. They also offer delicious

snacks, sunscreen, and fl uffy towels

before melting back into the foliage

appearing only when you need them.

If you’re seeking a tranquil day

out, this club is for you. It’s pure,

‘heaven on a stick,’ as it is designed

primarily for one purpose and one

purpose only, relaxation! Take

a massage, order lunch from the

extensive menu, have a nap, swim

in the pool, kayak the ocean, or just

(as I did) lie about and do absolutely

nothing. Bliss!

A BEACH RETREATBali’s Bukit Peninsula hides most of

the island’s favorite beach clubs,

and Finn’s Beach Club is perfect

for those seeking a beach retreat

with a pristine stretch of white sand

and swimmable waves. Part of the

Semara Uluwatu in Ungasan, this

club has one of the most gorgeous

hidden beach locations on the island,

given its dramatic setting between

a rock face and the shoreline. The

165-meter stretch of sand is yours

for a day with a minimum deposit

of Rp. 250,000 net, which can be

set off against food and beverage

purchases. Access is via a two-

minute funicular ride down the cliff

to arguably one of the best beaches

in Bali, and comes complete with

selections of water sports to enjoy it

with. It is defi nitely hard to beat this

one! Finn’s Beach Club is open from

9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

SUBLIME SUNSETSWhat I began to like about these

clubs is their ability to ‘hide’ their

locations in the most exotic places.

The Karma Beach Club, open from 9

a.m. to 11 p.m., epitomizes privacy

as it is accessed by a funicular

ride down a sheer cliff to a stretch

of clean white sand. To ensure

its exclusivity you have to pay an

entrance fee, but don’t panic as

once again it’s offset against the

price of food and drinks. The kitchen

is housed under a raised thatched

roof bamboo structure serving

Mediterranean-inspired selections,

and beach barbeque parties are

among its regular events. And of

course, the sunsets are sublime!

SURF THE CLUBPerhaps the only beach club fronting

one of the favorite surf breaks in

East Bali, the Komune Beach Club

is an excellent venue for surfers,

beach lovers or anyone – it is that

kind of place to hang out, chill, and

recharge. Here you can paddle out,

ride a few waves, and then head

back for healthy bites and drinks at

the bar (a circular structure that looks

like a giant mushroom), laze on the

comfortable day beds, roll into the

pool, or walk down the beach –

your call.

Previously known as Nammos Beach Club, the Karma Beach Club is one of the favorites


all over the island. The layout

features a main restaurant area, a

dedicated bar, a centerpiece lawn

bordering the beachfront as well as

restaurants and private areas. The

club obviously continues to appeal

to the Bali international set – it was

packed the day I went – and will do

for many years to come even though

other locations are trying hard to

knock it off its lofty perch!

IBIZA IN BALII conclude my club tour with a visit

to the iconic Ku De Ta, a sort of

“Ibiza comes to Bali” kind of place.

This venue is the ultimate spot for a

‘look at me, I’m at Ku De Ta’ selfi e,

and is actually great to enjoy a lazy

breakfast, lunch, or a sunset cocktail

overlooking the beach as the doors

are open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. I like

the way the place morphs throughout

the day as it constantly re-invents

itself to the changing clientele as the

sun sinks into the sea.

Ku De Ta is one of Bali’s most

prominent hotspots, a trendsetter for

an upscale night in Seminyak, which

has inspired other similar enterprises

THE COMPILATION OF

THE MOST SAVORY

MEATS THE ISLAND HAS

TO OFFER.By Joseph Wang

For carnivores, nothing

beats savoring succulent

and tender meat. Here

we present you with the

island’s best cuts of beef,

from the slow smoked Texan BBQ

brisket to Wagyu beef cooked

Asian style, and from tender high-

grade tenderloin to classic New

York striploin. Without further ado,

let’s dig in!

Quest For TheBest Cut

EYE FILLETEye fi llet, normally known as

beef tenderloin, is a group of

muscle beneath the ribs next to the

backbone. This part of the cow also

does very little work, and that’s why

it is the tenderest cut of meat, perfect

for roasts, steaks, or even tartare.

Robert Marchetti The Plantation

Grill at the Double-Six Luxury Hotel

Seminyak may have just been open

for a year, but this restaurant has

made its way right into the dining

competition of southern Bali for sure,

especially when it comes to meat.

Their Beef Tenderloin Fillet is a must-

try – the thick 200-gram grain-fed

Black Angus tenderloin is cooked to

perfection, and is served with “Basil”

Salsa Verde and Balsamic sauce.

And the meat quality doesn’t lie.

This restaurant is designed with a

glamorous ‘20s-style interior, making

it a stunning place for a romantic

dinner as well. If you do share an

intimate dinner here with your loved

one, I would suggest you fi nish

your meal with the Bomb Alaska

Robert Marchetti The Plantation Grill serves the best quality steak cut


also available like coleslaw, potato

salad, BBQ beans, French fries, and

mac and cheese. This is defi nitely

the place to go for a real American

BBQ experience.

This restaurant is closed on

Monday, but open from 12 p.m.

to 11 p.m. the rest of the week, or

fl ambéed, as it is the perfect ending

for a romantic night.

BRISKETBrisket supports about 60% of

the body weight of a cow so is

obviously one of the muscle areas

that require a signifi cant amount

of connective tissue. This makes it

challenging to process, as it needs

a certain technique to cook and to

tenderize the connective tissues.

However, beef brisket is also

considered the king of Texan BBQ

meat. Slow smoked for 15 hours,

this tough meat will transform into

a succulent cut that is so tender it

almost melts in your mouth.

Tempted? Just head out to the

Smokehouse in Petitenget. This

casual BBQ joint is owned by a

Texan – and who better qualifi ed to

offer Texas-style BBQ than a Texan?

Smokehouse is offering brisket with

a good deal as well. The best thing

is that guests can decide how many

grams of meat they would like to

have, as the meat is sold by weight,

not by portion.

The Smokehouse also offers other

selections of meat such as imported

pork ribs, sausages, and pulled

pork. American side dishes are

until they run out of meat. You can

also pre-order your food or have it

delivered to you.

STRIP STEAKStrip Steak is defi nitely one of the

most famous steak cuts in history.

This cut in particular consists of

muscle that does little work, resulting

in very tender meat. Although it

is not as tender as tenderloin or

rib eye, strip steak is part of a

huge muscle so it can be cut into big

portions.

The Hard Rock Café Bali is the

best place if you want to dig in to

to 1 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday,

and until 2 a.m. on Friday and

Saturday. And what is Hard Rock

Café without live music? From

10.30 p.m. every day, your dinner

will be accompanied by great live

York style just as it is supposed to

be. Tender and juicy, the 360 grams

of Australian Angus Beef is grilled

garlic butter on top, and with fresh

vegetables and mashed potatoes

and gravy on the side.

Located in Kuta, the Hard Rock

New York Striploin done in New York style


WAGYU STEAKSteaks are mostly served western

style – one portion consists of a

slab of meat and then some butter,

mashed potatoes, and vegetables on

the side. But Cut Catch Cucina at the

Sofi tel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort is

offering something slightly different.

Hailing from a highly acclaimed

restaurant in Seminyak, the new

Executive Sous Chef Daniel Edward

brings his fresh touch and creates

some new exciting fl avors to Cut Catch

Cucina. One of his creations is the

Seared Wagyu Beef with Chili Soya

and Fried Seaweed, which is nicely

done medium rare and complemented

with Japanese teriyaki sauce – a

beautiful combination of sweet and

savory sauce that really highlights

the natural fl avor of the beef. This is

defi nitely more than just a huge slab of

meat cooked to perfection.

Other new menu items that you

should try are the Miso Soup served

with Fish Chips and Lemon Aioli, and

the Aburiyaki Tuna served with Daikon

and White Sesame Garlic Emulsion.

Cut Catch Cucina is open daily for

lunch from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and

dinner from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. And

don’t miss their Magnifi que Week-end

Brunch every Saturday and Sunday

from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Reservations

are highly recommended.

The Food Alchemist

Ubud, the haven for health-conscious

foodies, defi nitely plays an important

role in introducing raw food to the rest

of the island. Now anyone can munch

on delicious raw food, even in the

hip Seminyak and Canggu areas. But of course, to

make raw food a part of your daily diet takes a real

commitment. If you want to begin this practice now

but don’t know how, check out these tips that Shanti

Allen (S), the co-founder of Alchemy Café – the fi rst

100 percent raw food restaurant in Bali – shared with

Bali & Beyond (BB).

BB: Alchemy was and continues to be a pioneer in the

fi eld of healthy living. Why do you think that is?

S: Many people want to go back to eating real food

made with real ingredients. It makes them feel good

and happy to eat this way, and I think they can feel the

difference. I think this is why more people are choosing

to eat a plant-based diet, and it makes me happy and

positive about the future to see this trend.

BB: Why raw?

S: Raw, unprocessed foods retain more of their nutrition

and enzymes. The life

force is also intact in

unprocessed plant food,

so when you eat food in

its natural state you benefi t

from ingesting the subtle

energy and life force of the plant.

BB: You grew up as a vegetarian, and eventually

became a vegan. When and why did you make this

transition?

S: There are so many reasons to boycott the animal

industry, and veganism is a powerful way to stand

for more compassion and peace in the world and for

all species. That is mainly why I choose this lifestyle.

There are countless other reasons too, such as personal

health, the environment, and sustaining all life on earth.

BB: What are the benefi ts of eating raw food based on

your personal experience?

S: I have much more energy when I eat raw food rather

than cooked food. I have also reached my optimal

body weight, and been able to maintain it completely

effortlessly. And I am healthier than ever.

CASHEW CREAM ‘CHEESE’Shanti Allen shares this easy recipe

just for you. “It´s a great dip to replace cheese, and something anyone can

appreciate,” she says. “You can serve it with crispy assorted vegetables such as baby

carrots, radishes, and asparagus, or spread it on crackers. Garnish with fresh herbs and edible fl owers for a little extra love.”

2 ½ cups cashews, soaked in water for 1-4 hours. Discard the water.2 tablespoon white miso.2 tablespoon lemon juice.1 teaspoon salt.1 cup water. 2 cloves garlic, crushed.

Drain and rinse the cashew nuts. Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add a tad bit more water if necessary to make blending easier.

BB: What are some tips for

those who are striving to live a

healthier life?

S: The secret to success can be found

in your daily routine. Improve the things

you do on a daily basis to create lifelong

habits that support health and longevity. Once you have

a healthy and steady baseline, there is no need for guilt

if you loosen up on special occasions. As for those who

want to increase their raw food intake, I recommend

starting by replacing your standard breakfast with a raw

version. Another suggestion is to replace just one meal

per day with a salad. Don´t set the bar too high. Like all

sustainable habits, it should be realistic and effortless.

Just remember, every bite is a creation of yourself,

an opportunity to taste the magic of nature, and an

invitation to become your best self. Fall in love with

self-care while nourishing your body, mind and spirit.

You have the profound privilege to transform your life;

all you need is to start!

BB: What are the obstacles you run into as a vegan,

and how you get through them?

S: I´ve had to practice saying “no thank you” to food and

drink in social situations. I fi nd it hard because I don´t like

to complicate things for others. Saying “no” with grace

and tact is not always easy, and I still have trouble with it

sometimes. A tip is to hang out with like-minded people.

BB: What can you recommend for parents who are trying

to make their children eat

more vegetables?

S: Make vegetable juice

together, add some apple

to sweeten it up, and get

your child in the habit

of drinking healthy. This

takes the pressure off;

you know your little one

is getting lots of nutrients in

just a small glass.

BB: Alchemy has a

holistic clinic and hotel

as well. Are there any

upcoming projects for

Alchemy?

S: There is always a lot

going on at the buzzing

Alchemy hub. The Alchemy

holistic clinic is offering on-going juice fasts and retreats,

and hosting free inspirational health talks every other

week. There is yoga and sound healing happening on

the rooftop of The Shift hotel next door. And in 2016

we will launch our recipe book “The Raw Alchemist”,

featuring 100 bestselling recipes from Alchemy Café.

One sunny Sunday, I was in the

mood for window-shopping.

And since there is no

better place on the

island, I went directly

to the Seminyak area. Walking down from

Seminyak Square to Jalan Kayu Aya I did

deny the urge to buy things that I didn’t

need, but my will power was severely

tested when I found this petite store across

from Anomali Coffee.

Mimpi Mannis may take up only a small area, but

when you walk in you will fall in love with just about

everything – at least that was how I felt on my visit there.

This store has exactly what I was looking for in sandals

and bags – casual and

colorful yet still stylish

for a lazy day out at the

beach.

My eyes fi rst fell on

the sandal collection,

ranging from wedges to

fl ats. The Zigzag Print Sandal in magenta was really

chic, designed with an adjustable buckle strap and non-

slip sole. Available in orange, yellow, and light green,

these sandals are available at AU$ 39,00.

The black Gili Sandal, also priced at AU$

39,00, is adorable as well,

the kind of footwear that you

can wear on any occasion.

For those who like

simplicity, you should check

out Mimpi Mannis’ latest

clutches such as the Tribal Clutch

(AU$ 35,00). Made of a woven tribal

fabric and faux leather, this clutch is

designed with wrist strap, interior and

exterior zip pockets, and a shoulder strap. The best thing

is that it is small in size but has enough space for your

makeup and a small tablet.

But if you need bigger

bags for all your stuff,

the beach bags are just

what you’re looking for.

These large canvas

bags are made with

a faux leather strap

and come in a lot of

variations – my favorite is the Miami Birds Beach Bag

(AU$ 45,00) designed with a tropical print, and the

Tribal Beach Bag (AU$ 49,00) with an ethnic look.

So when you’re in the Seminyak area, this great little

store is defi nitely worth a visit. Oh, did I mention

that they have a special collection

for little girls

as well?

A BODY SCRUB, A BUBBLE BATH,

AND A FULL BODY MASSAGE –

THIS TREATMENT WILL MAKE YOUR

CHILDREN SLEEP TIGHT THROUGH

THE NIGHT. TRUST ME,

THEY WILL LOVE IT!

For those who have little

children, some “me” time

at a spa is surely a luxury.

And sometimes, even

when you have that luxury,

your mind is still restless, thinking

about whether your children are safe

and sound with their baby-sitter or at

the kids club. So the result is, before

you know it, your pampering time is

over without you really enjoying it.

Sound familiar? If it does, worry

no more, because Kriya Spa has

the perfect solution for you. Instead

of leaving your children at the kids

a facial and a full body massage,

the Chill Out with Dad will make

them relax with three different

rituals. My niece was up for the

latter, and I’m sure your children

will love it as much as she did.

Just like all the other rituals at

good with kids, so I felt very relieved

knowing that a spa appointment at

Kriya Spa was already arranged for

both of us.

Once we arrived at Kriya Spa,

very comfortable. Before leaving for

instantly, followed by a 15-minute

aroma, and fi nally a full body

scented oil to fi nish. She loved the

whole experience, but the bubble

bath won her heart, as it was all she

could talk about when she met her

mom after the treatment.

As if that’s not terrifi c enough

on its own, the Spa-riffi c Mini Me

is always open to meeting your

children’s specifi c needs. All you

have to do is consult with the

therapist.


HONEY AND TEAKriya Spa always makes sure that

your child is accompanied by an

adult throughout the ritual. You can

sit and wait in the treatment room,

or better yet take a treatment of your

own. Since the Spa-riffi c Mini Me

lasts for 60 minutes, I would suggest

you take the traditional healing

massage (Rp. 1,250,000++) that

also takes an hour.

This signature massage gives you

deep relaxation with its on-point

long stroke technique, as well as

relaxes your muscles and increases

your blood circulation. And to help

you reach that peaceful state of

mind, Kriya Spa offers three different

massage oils for you to choose from:

tranquility for relaxation, energizing

to increase your energy, and purity

for detoxifi cation – I chose the fi rst

one as I needed to calm my mind.

While I was being pampered, my

niece was right next to me enjoying

her own ritual and was well taken

care of by the therapist – and that’s

why I think Kriya Spa is perfect

for parents who are longing for

a massage. If you still think twice

about this, let me assure you that you

deserve a top-notch massage without

worrying about your little one, as he

or she will also be pampered right

beside you and in very good hands.

Not to mention that you get to share

a tea with your child afterwards.

Once the treatment is done you

and your child get to unwind in the

relaxation lounge, sipping herbal

tea with honey and munching on

cookies. And let me tell you, the one-

hour treatment will defi nitely make

you a hero in the eyes of your little

one – I remember overhearing my

niece said to her mom, “Thank you,

Mommy. Can I get another treatment

here again soon?”

THE HIDDEN HILLS VILLAS IS ONE OF THE RARE GEMS NESTLED

ON THE TOP OF THE ULUWATU HILLS, BOASTING AN AMAZING

180-DEGREE VIEW OF THE OCEAN AND PERFECT FOR NEWLY-WEDS.

HIDDEN ROMANCE


Among the hundreds if

not thousands of villa

complexes in Bali, it

is very rare to fi nd

an establishment that

is true to its identity, but the Hidden

Hills Villas is defi nitely one of them.

This hidden gem is only minutes

away from the airport, and a stone’s

throw away from exotic surf beaches

of Uluwatu.

Founded by former MTV Asia VJ

Max Loong and his mother Beatrice,

this new property is an affordable

luxury getaway that is going to steal

the spotlight from all the other villas

in the area. Max, whose interest

in the hospitality industry is very

much infl uenced by his late father

who was a hotelier, implements

his personal experience staying at

some of the top hotels around the

world into the Hidden Hills Villas.

That explains why this new property

provides such highly personalized

service, like in-room breakfast with

your own preference of time.

ONE OF A KINDHidden Hills Villas started off as

(and still is) a passion project of

this mother and son – the duo has

hand-selected all the materials for

this property. Beatrice has worked in

the art industry for 23 years, and the

fact that she has collaborated with

Christie’s Auction House and the

Swiss Institute of Art Science makes

her more than qualifi ed to design

the villas – and that is why this villa

complex has such an original look.

The Mediterran-inspired Villa Santorini


There are fi ve guest villas – each

with its own unique design – and a

designated Javanese Joglo for yoga

and the spa. The one-bedroom Villa

Santorini and Villa Marrakesh are

designed with Greek and Moroccan

styles respectively, while the two-

bedroom Villa Sanya will let you feel

its Feng Shui-based positive energy

as the design is much inspired by

Chinese culture.

As for those who like Balinese

design, you can choose either the

traditional Villa Sekapa with two

bedrooms or the modern Villa

Grande with three bedrooms. But no

matter which one you opt for, each

villa has adequate space and is

provides semi-butler service with the

utmost privacy without making you

feel confi ned.

Not only that, perched on the

peak of a hill the villas boast a

magnifi cent 180-degree view of the

Indian Ocean. Each of them features

fl oor-to-ceiling glass doors and

include a UE Megaboom portable

speaker – which you can connect to

your device via Bluetooth – and a

Nespresso machine.

And the bed won’t disappoint

you for sure. Unlike other luxurious

establishments in Bali that use up to

The romantic Villa Marrakesh is designed with Moroccan style


300 thread count for bed sheets, the

Hidden Hills Villas uses 400 thread

count of pure cotton sateen sheets,

which means the sheets are softer

and smoother than ordinary sheets.

Add to that Therapedic® mattress,

and you will have that good quality

sleep you’ve been longing for.

LOVEBIRD’S NESTHere is a little tip for honeymooners;

please ask for the Villa Marrakesh.

Like the other villas at the property,

Villa Marrakesh has a manicured

garden, a private plunge pool,

and a huge living space. This

Moroccan-themed villa is designed

with exotic woodwork and unique

geometric decorations, creating a

nice and comfortable vibe – some

guests have even stayed there for

almost a month without going out

of the villa!

Of course a Moroccan-themed

villa is not authentic without the

famous hammam, the Moroccan

traditional bath that is normally

associated with a steam room.

The Villa Marrakesh has its own

jaw-dropping hammam bathroom

decorated with Moroccan patterns

and candlelight! Minus the steam

room though, but why would you

need a steam room in a semi-open

bathroom? And for honeymooners,

romance is defi nitely in the air as

you fi nd rose petals in the tub – there

is always something alluring about a

hammam bath and fl ower petals.

Villa Marrakesh also has

the biggest manicured garden

overlooking the ocean, perfect

for a sunset session and continued

by a private romantic dinner with

set menu starts from USD 45++/

person.

To celebrate their grand opening,

the Hidden Hills Villas is offering 30

percent off of room rates until the

end of the year. So, what are you

waiting for? Book a villa and fi nd

out on your own why TV personality

Joey Mead King (mentor and

judge of ‘Asia’s Next Top Model’)

was so enchanted by the Hidden

Hills Villas.

HELMETLESS BIKERS, RECKLESS DRIVERS… THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!

There’s a saying when you go traveling that

goes, “do what the locals do.” And while it is

fun to learn the Balinese way of living – or the

overall Indonesian way of life when you’re

in this country – there is one thing that you

should never copy from the locals, and that is the way

they drive!

As you may have already seen, helmetless bikers

are almost everywhere. Not to mention many of them

are riding with more than one passenger and making a

turn without any signal – and even if they do they give

the wrong one, like turning on the left signal but going

to the right. You can imagine how this leads to lots of

horn honking and curses from the drivers behind. So

yes, when it comes to the traffi c, Bali is much less of a

paradise as the real jungle seems to be on the road.

To make matters worse, the madness doesn’t stop

there. It breaks my heart when I see foreign tourists riding

their bikes recklessly and for the same reasons. They

probably think, “This is how the locals do it,” or, “It is

okay to ride a bike without a helmet, I’m not going that

far anyway.” Let’s just throw that idea into the ocean.

WATCH THE

ROAD!

WATCH THE

ROAD!

WATCH THE

ROAD!


It doesn’t matter how far or near your destination is,

safety is number one. You may be on the right track,

but someone else on the road might break the rules and

(knock on wood) hit you. We never know, right?

Oh, did I mention that some drivers do not think

twice about jumping up on the sidewalk to get around

traffi c? Again, this bad local habit is often imitated by

tourists. But as tempting as it may seem, taking over the

sidewalk from pedestrians is never cool. The pedestrians

are struggling enough while watching where their feet

are going due to lack of decent sidewalks. So you lost a

couple of minutes because of traffi c – I think that’s better

than injuring someone (or yourself) as you jump on and

off the sidewalk to avoid the traffi c jams.

More bad news is that the road is not any friendlier if

you’re driving a car. Pedestrians cross the street anytime

anywhere, as there are no pedestrian bridges on the

island. They can cross the street at the intersection, but

that doesn’t mean it’s the only place. And those bikers

that suddenly appear out of nowhere as you’re changing

lanes or making a turn only makes things worse.

Now take a breath, because it is not always that bad.

Car and bike accidents happen everywhere in the world,

but this is Bali and you’re here to get away from stress,

so ending up in the hospital or dealing with the locals

due to an incident is defi nitely the last thing you want

to be doing. So wherever you go, make sure that you

have everything you need for safety – helmets for bikers,

seatbelts for cars, and of course, be sure that you have

all the documentation like an international drivers license

and the vehicle registration with you. And no matter

how empty the road is, resist the urge to go speeding,

because like I mentioned before, pedestrians and bikers

can surprise you at any time.

And whenever you feel that the traffi c is eating you

alive, take one or two deep breaths. Nothing compares

to being patient and getting to your destination safe and

sound, doesn’t it? So, watch the road and drive safe!

SUNRISE, SUNDOWNIt was more than 60 years ago when India’s Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru famously branded Bali as ‘The Morning of the World’ while walking along Sanur Beach with President Soekarno. To see Bali’s most beautiful landscapes at their very best requires catching the morning light at sunrise when the air is cool and clear and the light has a crystal quality before the heat and haze of the day takes over.

Sunrise views from any of Bali’s beaches with an easterly aspect can be stunning – the most handy and famous are the Sanur and the Sindhu beach areas. However, the ultimate Bali sunrise is best viewed from the peak of a volcano or mountain with views east to Lombok. Trekking to the peak of Mount Agung is the most challenging, involving a steep four-hour climb starting at 1 or 2 a.m. The views to Lombok and back towards western Bali and Java are stunning, and the colors of the sunrise take on unreal and deep hues, but this is a diffi cult climb!

Trekking Mount Batur in Kintamani is also a great adventure. It isn’t as demanding as Mount Agung, but the views and sunrise are just as spectacular. Other spots around Kintamani are also amazing such as the Mount Abang trek and the Pinggan Hill road, which has recently become very popular among photographers. Great mountain sunrises can also be caught from Bedugul on the southern side, with breathtaking easterly views across the island to Mount Agung and Mount Abang.

Sunsets are best viewed from any west facing beach and even better if from a famous temple such as Tanah Lot and Uluwatu. My favorite spot to catch a sunset is simply from a beanbag on one of the many wide beaches in Seminyak. The light can be very spectacular refl ecting from the wet sand, providing dramatic mirror effects.

So while in Bali, make the effort to catch its sunrises and sunsets and you won’t be disappointed! My shortlist of favorites are the Mount Batur volcano trek for sunrise, Uluwatu and Tanah lot for sunset, and chilling out on Seminyak Beach watching the light show as the sun recedes below the waves.

GO WITH THE FLOW!THE NEWEST WATER PARK BY THE PRISTINE

BEACH LAGOON IN NUSA DUA FEATURES BALI’S

FIRST FLOWRIDER.

Originally invented

in 1988, the

FlowRider is

basically water

pushed by a

generator on an inclined surface

to make an artifi cial wave, or

also known as a sheet wave. This

invention was aimed at spreading

the thrill of surfi ng to places where

there was no ocean and surfi ng was

impossible to do – and it eventually

brought the Californian surf lifestyle

to the world.

The fi rst fl ow rider was opened

in Texas in 1991. Then, through the

‘90s, some of the biggest names

in extreme sports such as Kelly

Slater, Terje Haakonsen, and Tony

Hawk fi gured out the best board

designs and the correct techniques

for riding this sheet wave. And now

Flowboarding can be enjoyed in any

part of the world.

SURF IT!The good news for all of us is that

the FlowRider is now in Bali and

it is defi nitely going to add some

excitement to your holiday. For

those who are up for bodyboarding,

snowboarding, skateboarding,

surfi ng, and other board sports, all

you have to do is come to the Surf &

Turf Beach Club at The Bay in Nusa

Dua and try this new attraction,

which is the fi rst ever in Bali.

The FlowRider is open for

anyone – beginners or professionals,

children or adults.

Unlike other water

park rides, the FlowRider

is actually a skill-based ride that will

keep you coming back for more, as

you will feel challenged to improve

your technique – and who knows,

maybe you will pick up a few

tricks along the way. On the day I

paid a visit to the water park I was

BALI&BEYOND SEPTEMBER 2015 57The FlowRider defi nitely pumps up your adrenalin


astonished to see a talented young

boy surfi ng the FlowRider like a pro

– turns out he is a loyal customer

who visits the park almost every

week. And boy, he is good!

There are two different options

to choose from on your wave riding

adventure, the body board or the

stand up board. For board sports

enthusiasts, the bodyboarding will

be a piece of cake. But the stand

up board might be a little bit more

diffi cult as you will have to push

the back of the board with either

your left or right leg (whichever is

stronger) so you can stand up, and

with just a little core strength you

will be able to ride the wave. Unlike

surfi ng though, the FlowRider is

relatively effortless, as you do not

need to paddle into the middle of the

ocean and wait for the waves. With

the FlowRider, the wave is always

ready for you.

The pool at the beach club is so inviting on a hot day

BTDC Lot C-0, Nusa Dua

(0361) 849-9166

www.surfturfbali.com

For beginners, the body board is

the better option as it is easier – all

you need to do is lay on the board

and steer it with your body weight.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t also

try the stand up board. Don’t be

discouraged though, as it might be

hard for you to stand up at fi rst, but

hey, practice makes perfect right?

Besides, the Surf & Turf Beach Club

at The Bay provides professional

instructors and lifeguards that will

teach you the basic techniques

before you go – and the rest

depends on the strength of your

legs and core.

With every entrance ticket

purchased (Rp. 200,000 net for

children, and Rp. 400,000 for

adults) you are entitled to access the

beach club and use the FlowRider

for two hours, but you have to take

turns with other guests – once you

fall, it is other guest’s turn to try. The

FlowRider schedule is divided into

three slots, the fi rst slot is from 11

a.m. to 1 p.m., the second is from

2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the last one

from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

But if you don’t feel like queuing,

you can also have a private session.

Normally the FlowRider has two

lanes, and you can book one of

the lanes exclusively for yourself

for an hour.

TURF IT!If you are not into the FlowRider

– or simply don’t want to get wet –

don’t worry as the beach club rents

bicycles and canoes too (subjects to

availability). You can ride your bike

down along the coast of Nusa Dua

all the way to the Water Blow Hole,

or when the tide is high, paddle a

canoe to a crystal clear lagoon just

in front of the beach club.

Another option is to just unwind

EMBARK ON A ROAD

TRIP FROM BALI TO

JAKARTA WITH OUR

CONTRIBUTOR

AGI R. ANDANTE…

After months of

savoring the positivity

of Bali, I found it

really hard to leave

this paradise island

for Jakarta. So I thought it was

crucial to make my journey home

as unforgettable as possible by

combining the two things I love the

most; long drives and exploring new

places by car.

ROAD RULES

Driving from Denpasar to

Gilimanuk, crossing the strait to

Java by boat, then continuing on

by taking the south to north route

in Java actually requires more than

two good drivers. But for me, two is

enough, so at the end of June I took

off on this road trip accompanied by

a dear friend of mine

We didn’t have any itinerary –

we only agreed to stop at least after


After driving for 15 kilometers on the

bumpy road within the park area,

we crossed the wide Bekol savannah

with a view of Mount Baluran before

fi nally arriving at Bama Beach. A

little tip; come to Baluran National

Park for the sunset because the view

of the sun setting behind Mount

Baluran is a great memory to have.

There are a lot of beaches we

would have liked to visit in the

Banyuwangi area, but as we only

stayed for a night we just went to

Red Island (Pulau Merah) Beach in

the morning. Red Island is a small

island across the beach in the

Sumber Agung village, and, as you

may have already guessed, it is

named after the color that it changes

to during the sunset.

every four hours of driving and to

stay overnight in a city, where we

would decide our next destination.

We were two girls on the road, so

it was important for us to set the

GPS, bring emergency equipment,

and prepare some ‘weapons’ for

our safety – we brought two cans of

pepper spray just in case.

After getting a cup of coffee

from our favorite coffee shop in

Seminyak, we drove for three hours

to the Gilimanuk seaport to catch the

ferry to Java. Crossing the strait cost

us Rp. 148,000 for two persons and

our small sized car. In less than an

hour we touched land again at the

Ketapang seaport in Banyuwangi,

East Java. And that’s where our road

trip in Java began.

BANYUWANGIOnce we arrived in Banyuwangi,

the fi rst place on our list to see was

the Baluran National Park. Also

known as Africa van Java, this park

is really a sensational tropical forest.

Kalibiru in Yogyakarta is becoming very popular, thanks to social media

Gebang Palace, Blitar


BLITAROur journey became even more

adventurous as we took off from

Banyuwangi towards Blitar taking

the southern route – we had to

stay focused all the time because

there were a lot of people and

other vehicles passing by us on that

narrow and winding road. But I was

very eager to see Blitar, so I didn’t

mind using this route.

Blitar is a historical city where

Indonesia’s fi rst president Soekarno

grew up. It is not one of the top

tourist destinations in Java, but

PACITANWe left Blitar the next morning via

Jalan National III, the interprovincial

main road on the south route – and

once again, we had to use the

challenging narrow and winding

road. Our next destination was

Yogyakarta, but we made a short

stop in Pacitan fi rst – and I think we

made the right decision, as the

road to Pacitan was much smoother

and bigger.

Pacitan is the hometown of

former president Susilo Bambang

Yudhoyono. The city hides numerous

beautiful beaches but we only made

a short visit to Teleng Ria Beach,

the closest from downtown Pacitan,

before we continued on our journey

to Yogyakarta.

YOGYAKARTAWe stayed for two nights in this

city, and let me tell you, Yogyakarta

never stopped surprising us. The best

history enthusiasts should visit

this city as you can trace the late

President’s trails, like we did. The

tour started at the Gebang Palace

that belongs to Soekarno’s family,

where some rooms are still kept

just the way they were back then.

Then we continued on to Soekarno’s

cemetery complex and visited the

Hotel Tugu Sri Lestari, one of the

oldest hotels in Indonesia. There is

a room there called the Sang Fajar

Suite that is dedicated to the late

Soekarno, and that’s where his

family stays when they visit Blitar.

A bright morning at Red Island Beach, Banyuwangi


way to get around the city is by a

pedicab. Aside from the fact that we

needed some rest from driving the

car, taking a pedicab brought us

closer to the locals and let us learn

a lot more about their culture. Our

pedicab driver Pamungkas was more

than just a driver, as he also acted

as a local guide explaining all about

the city and taking us to the best

places for local culinary treats, like to

Jalan Wijilan, which is the mecca for

gudeg, Yogyakarta’s traditional food.

The next day, as we were

already recharged, we got back

behind the wheel to discover the

outer areas of Yogyakarta. After

a 90-minute drive westward from

downtown Yogyakarta, we came to

the natural attraction of Kalibiru in

the Kulonprogo Regency. Kalibiru is

renowned as a very photogenic site

especially on social media such as

Instagram, and is becoming even

more popular for its magnifi cent

sunrise and sunset views. Not to

mention it boasts a view of the

Sermo dam and the hilly forests to

and Keraton Kauman, as well as

the Sunyaragi Cave, which is the

As much as we didn’t want this

journey on to our fi nal destination

of Jakarta, but we were lucky as

we had the opportunity to use the

new Cipali (Cikopo-Palimanan) toll

road so the journey from Cirebon to

Jakarta took us only three hours.

In six days and fi ve nights,

we drove 1,547 kilometers from

Denpasar to Jakarta. It was defi nitely

a trip to remember, as we got to

see historical places, savor natural

destinations, and experience

different local cultures in Java. The

OUR CONTRIBUTOR RIZKI PRADANA REVEALS

HOW JAKARTA’S PASAR SANTA, WHICH WAS

ONCE A NEARLY FORGOTTEN MARKET, HAS

TRANSFORMED INTO ONE OF THE HOTTEST

PLACES IN THE CAPITAL CITY.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN

Once upon a time,

the size of a

traditional market

was the way to

determine the

prosperity of a given society. The

bigger the market meant that more

people were being fed and were

happy, thus the king was worthy

of his throne. When human beings

learned how to harvest crops, hunt

for meat, and live together socially,

that was when trading began and

gave birth to the early traditional

markets.

Traditional markets were so

important that in many cities in

Indonesia, especially in Bali and

Java, they were built on one of

the holy four corners of the town’s

main intersection – the other three

housed the palace, the square, and

the temple – but that was centuries

ago. Now we have supermarkets

and convenience stores everywhere

and all just a stroll away. Now

the question is, how do traditional


markets survive in this modern age?

One we know of does know how –

and in a very trendy way.

THE OLD DAYSMeet Pasar Moderen Santa (Santa

Modern Market), or Pasar Santa,

which is vintage in design but surely

fresh in spirit. Since 2014 this

traditional market has turned into

Jakarta’s newest place to hang out

with family and friends, shop for

unique stuff, munch on eclectic food,

and watch artsy performances.

The market counts 1,050 lots,

which during the old days were

used to sell vegetables and meat.

The basement is still utilized for

that purpose, as the ground fl oor is

mostly used to sell household tools,

appliances, and crafts. But the hot

spot is actually the upper fl oor,

which is home to a bunch of unique

and modish joints from artisan hot

dogs to vintage vinyl, from Japanese

t-shirts to fi xie bike spare parts, from

leather boot cobblers to healthy

juices in mini jerry cans. But how did

a traditional market turn into a hip

place like this exactly?

Pasar Santa wasn’t actually a

traditional market per se. It was

built by South Jakarta’s offi cials

in the early 1970s’ with the aim

of creating a traditional market –

which in Indonesia is usually dirty,

messy, and crowded – but this

was to be more organized and

easier to access. This concept is

called the modern market, and it

has revitalized the dying state of

traditional markets nationwide,

including in Bali. But that doesn’t

mean all modern markets are a

success however. Jakarta’s rapid

development comes with a bunch of

malls built all across the town, which

leads people away from traditional

markets eventually – even the traders

themselves. So by 2007, Pasar

Santa slowly lost its soul – as there

were more vacant lots than occupied

ones. But that all changed in 2014.

SANTA REBORNAfter years of losing tenants, the

supervisors of Pasar Santa decided

to make a difference. They contacted


local communities, searching for

potential renters. One guy from the

coffee community responded, and

decided to open ABCD Coffee. The

name might sound a little generic,

but their coffee and service is quite

unique. Not only do they serve

several different high-quality coffees

each day depending on the type of

coffee they have in stock, they also

conduct classes for those who are

curious about brewing coffee. And

the price for each cup of coffee is, I

kid you not, “whatever you think that

cup of coffee was worth.”

ABCD Coffee soon became

the talk of the town, and intrigued

young entrepreneurs began to

open up other businesses in the

market. Within a few months, the

whole upper level of Pasar Santa

transformed from a ghost town into

a de rigueur pad, and suddenly

the nearly abandoned market was

the new “it” place. The 350 lots

available has turned into more than

130 stores, with about a hundred

of them selling food, ranging

from Western (like burgers and PHO

sandwiches) to Asian (ramen and

sushi), sweet delights (like cakes

and frozen bananas), and pastries,

coffee, and juices – but my two

favorite are the Indonesian fusion,

ayam goreng cabe hijau and nasi

goreng hitam at Legoh, and my

childhood snacks served in a

whole new style, kue cubit at Kue

Cubid Bro.

Most of the food here is far

from ordinary, and the competition

between tenants is quite fi erce. And

because the rent is pretty expensive

now, most dishes cost twice that of

a similar dish you can fi nd outside

the market. But the assorted selection

of culinary experience is surely not

to be missed. Although, you have

to note that their opening hours are

quite unusual. Some joints open

starting from 10 a.m., while others

open at 3 p.m. Some are closed on

Monday and Tuesday, while others

– particularly the popular ones – are

only open on the weekends.

That’s why the weekends are

the safest bet, because that’s when

all stores are open. There is one

problem though. Pasar Santa isn’t

actually built for waiting in line and

eating. In between merchant lots

the pathway is narrow, only six to

seven feet wide, which means most

places don’t provide seats for those

on the waiting list, and there’s a

big possibility that during queuing

you will be awkwardly standing in

front of another joint. Obviously the

market wasn’t designed to be the

most convenient, as it’s very

hot inside with minimum air

circulation, and it’s even hotter

when it is packed with people.

Yet, even with all the

dysfunctionality the vibe is still

inviting. There isn’t one weekend in

the last two years when this place

has been empty of customers. The

tacos are always sold out – people

are queueing even before the grill

is on – the coffee is always hot,

the vendors are always cool and

friendly, and the music is always

playing, so Pasar Santa feels like the

proper inner city getaway. It may not

be the plushest facility, but it offers

so much more than the repetitive

others. After all, haven’t we all had

enough of malls already?

HEALTH&MEDICAL

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 fl uids. 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.
