The menu is deceivingly simple, but look closer and you’ll find a confident selection of refined dishes and surprising flavours created by the expert team of chefs. At heart are the freshest ingredients are used, sourced from Fresto’s own farm in the heart of agricultural Bali – Bedugul – and also from around the rest of Indonesia. The result is a gastronomic experience that consistently exceeds expectations.
Running from the middle of June thru til July 8th, the centre is currently playing host to the 39th Bali Art Festival; a vibrant smorgasbord of events that include Legong and Barong dances, colourful art and sculpture exhibits, traditional music performances, Wayang Kulit shadow puppet shows and our favourite – the fabulous ‘kuliner’ food court section. This being an exclusively Balinese affair, foodies can expect some of the most authentic local dishes around like sizzling pork sate, shredded ayam (chicken) betutu and chunks of suckling pig to name but a few, so make sure to arrive with an appetite.
In comparison with the hectic, touristic Southern part of Bali, the northern part (like Lovina) is more relaxed and less crowded. Amazing, untouched nature like mountains, waterfalls, secret gardens and tranquil beaches can be found here. We’ve selected a few must-see spots for our favourite travellers (including you!) which will definitely surprise you with incredible views.
Discovering how John Hardy jewellery is crafted is a tour that any Bali visitor will love. A winding village road through rice fields and bamboo forests leads to an unassuming entrance beyond which one of the world’s most unique luxury jewellery brands produces it’s stunning range of socially responsible collectible jewellery.
Not a single day passes without more than three million deeply religious people offering the delightful Canang Sari – the beautiful ubiquitous little leaf baskets filled with flowers, rice, sweets and sometimes even a cigarette. It’s hardly surprising that the etymology is from ‘beautiful purpose’. What a way to start the day.
Bedugul is growing up. We discovered some beautiful new attractions on our recent trip that will change the way we enjoy Bedugul forever. Not only will you love it, you might also learn something.
Pulau’s unique fleet is every yachty’s dream,comprising of the long range Australian-designed craft Haruku – a beautiful yet classic sea cruiser, a luxury fly-bridge motor yacht the Burjman, and a custom-built 42ft Rhino 1, which is a great fishing and surf boat. Ramp up the glamour with Pulau’s Azimut 116 Super Yacht, the Maritimo 48 or the Pearl of the Sea – a stunning two-mast schooner designed along the lines of an 18th century North Atlantic schooner. Imagine getting a group of friends for huge part or a day out … or a week on the azure sea on one of these beauties.
