From your table at the restaurant, you will have a 180-degrees view of the ocean and the rice paddies and can revel in magnificent sunsets. A choice of tasty dishes from Indonesia, Thailand, India and Europe, all made from fresh ingredients, will delight your palate.

A selection of the best tropical cocktails are awaiting you in a friendly atmosphere either at the bar adjoining the restaurant or at the sunken bar of the swimming-pool.

There is no better place for savoring fresh fruit juices while contemplating the rugged beauty of the location. The Puri Dajuma team will be glad to make you discover and even initiate you to the art of Balinese dance and music, in front of the ocean. For an experience even more extraordinary, a Jeggog show which is one of Bali West speciality is regularly proposed.

SWIMMING POOL – BEACH

A large 20 x 10 m overflowing swimming pool fed directly by pure, crystal-clear water drawn from a 40-meter well awaits you and for the kids, a 50-cm deep wading pool will be their favorite playground.

Should you feel more inclined to get some rest, 3 traditional Balinese “gazebos” are at your disposal for unique siestas or massages and the sunken swimming pool bar will offer you a selection of the region’s most exotic cocktails.

Puri Dajuma Cottages is located on a cape surrounded by two sandy beaches directly accessible from your cottage. If you like swimming in a safe and natural environment, you will be delighted by the softness and cleanliness of the sea. At low tide, the cape is accessible over a distance of 200 meters and becomes a real paradise for fishermen and children who want to discover the marvelous underwater life.

SPA

With its large terrace crowned by a traditional Balinese “Gazebo” overlooking the beach and ocean and surrounded by a natural pond where lotus flowers follow the sun’s movements, the spa and wellness center is a unique place where the word relaxation takes on its full meaning.

At the end of your day’s activities, you can thaw out with the right combination of relaxation and body-care.

Why not start with a “Jacuzzi session” followed be a traditional Balinese massage performed by skilled professionals. After a stop in the “Hamam“, you can take a bracing shower. And before going to dinner, why not pamper yourself with some hair treatment, a manicure and pedicure typical from Bali.

SURFING

The volcanic promontory on which Puri Dajuma cottages are built is like a ship’s hull whose bow waves give rise to some of the most beautiful surf breaks. Those waves actually break off well-known Medewi shoreline, a few hundreds meters from your own cottage.

Best Swell Direction: South
Best Size: 4-6ft

Crowds up there are ok, due to the distance from Kuta you have to travel. Also, because there are no night clubs for the party crew. You will also find the locals very friendly in and out of the surf. It is defenately a long workable wave, but you won’t find to many tube sections up there.

DIVING & SNORKELING

The Menjangan National Park is acknowledged as one of the world’s richest submarine parks thanks to its fantastic diversity of coral and fish species. Located on Bali’s northern coast, the park is only an hour’s drive from your cottage and certainly worth while visiting.
Not only is it remarkable for its tremendous variety of fish species, it is also situated in the protective shadow of the Javanese volcanoes a few kilometers past the Bali Strait, midway between the sea, the semi-arid island and the sky, and offers a landscape of stunning contrasts.

NATURE PARKS

Batur Volcano :
The Pekutatan fishing village lies at the lower reaches of the Batur National Park, which extends upwards and culminates in the holy Batur volcano. Ranging from tropical rain forest bordering the sea up to high-altitude, arid and cool semi-active volcanoes, the Park is home to a variety of self-contained landscapes that have been shaped over thousands of years by the Balinese. As such, they offer many hiking possibilities either in the nearby tropical countryside or somewhat further afield through this profuse diversity of plant and animal life, at staggered elevations.

Bromo & Semeru :
Another fascinating National Park can be found in Western Java. The Semeru National Park is one of Indonesia’s largest, most impressive volcanic parks. Still active volcanoes sit in a rugged caldera from which you can observe periodic blasts every 30 minutes from the high Semeru volcano: a giant plume of smoke rises high into the atmosphere, as if greeting the smaller but still smoking Bromo volcano. The relatively high altitude of the area makes its vegetation completely different from that of the coast: desert-like landscape contrast sharply with the deep blue sky and afford you one of the most breathtaking sightseeing tours.

Rain Forest
Should you feel like going into the rain forest, you may prefer to go for a ramble under the protection of giant equatorial trees, penetrating into the deep chlorophyll green and drop by a waterfall where you will be delighted by frolicking monkeys and a cacophony of multicolored birds. You can then follow this up with a canoe tour along one of the rivers flowing down the volcanic slopes making your way back to your exquisite cottage, uplifted by this Balinese initiation to nature’s jewels.

CULTURE-LEISURE

During your stay with us, you will be offered several tours covering most facets of Balinese culture, including the traditional Legong and Kecak dances, the Gamelan orchestra, the marvelous temples of Tanahlot, Rambut Siwi and Ulu Danu and, the gem of the collection, the Ubud artistic centre with its unique paintings.

These will all lend enchantment to your exploration of this part of Indonesia.

For the night birds, we propose a relaxing tour of Kuta, combining a romantic candle-lite dinner on the beach with shopping in fancy boutiques and disco dancing at the famous Bali Hard Rock CafÃ©.

Bali is a place for incomparable bargains. Dajuma proposes a one-day shopping tour for a comprehensive discovery of the island’s handicraft treasures. Colorful batiks and garments, teak and rattan furniture, stone and wood carvings, wrought iron items and lamps are just some examples of the unique Balinese handicraft tradition.

Transport
Several means of transport will help you discover Bali island: convenient air conditioned minibuses for tours, cars with drivers for private excursions, motorbikes, bicycles, etc.

Shop
The Dajuma shop offers you a selection of the best Balinese handcrafts, including lamps, bed covers, stone carvings, ceramics, Indonesian puppets, and other local marvels.

WEDDINGS

Authenticity, serenity, harmony and spirituality: beyond all doubt, Puri Dajuma is the place for weddings.

Its nice cottages, its romantic restaurant with a subtle lightening, its garden with endless flowers, its invigorating SPA, the gazebos where you can stay for a while apart from everything, the virgin beaches, the small templesâ€¦ every place seems just made for your couple.

In this part of Bali most of religions live together so that they can prepare this unique time according to your own wishes.

Whatever you choose, a simple wedding ceremony with few people or a big party, you will live a fabulous cultural experience, as Balinese people around you are used to elevate their mind, make everything beautiful, and surprise you by any means.
