Hotel Tugu Bali

21 August 2009

Chosen as the most romantic place in the island and as a sampling of paradise on earth, Hotel Tugu Bali is a place where, upon entering, one is transported to the most romantic times of Bali.

Nestled on the pristine, wave-sung sunset beach of Canggu, surrounded by the whispering rice fields and the adjacent Batu Bolong Temple, Hotel Tugu Bali was built upon a passion for the romantic beauty of the art, history and culture of Bali specifically and Indonesia in general. A vast collection of priceless Indonesian antiques and artworks adorned the hotel, blending pure tropical luxury with an out-of-the-ordinary ambience. 

Dining at Tugu Bali takes on a completely different concept than in any other hotels in the island. Guests are welcomed to choose wherever they like to dine. Beautiful private candlelit tables can be arranged everywhere – in the gardens; at a private hut floating above the lotus pond, at the private candlelit beach under the stars etc.

Furthermore, instead of restaurants, the hotel provides various most unique and authentic dining experiences. In each experience, the venue, the atmosphere, the cuisine, the rituals, the costumes, the tableware- all differ from one to another, depending to the themes chosen.

In some cases, a dinner for two can be served by a parade of 12 waiters or a 14th century army of 30 people, depicting the many forgotten romantic tales of Indonesia’s history hundreds of years back.

An absolute must would be to dine in what is said to be the most beautiful dining room in the country - the 300-year-old Bale Sutra temple, housed in a spectacular red room and lit with many red candles. To experience the grand, elegant dining of the royal Balinese kings in the past, opt for the Bale Puputan, Balinese 19th century royal dining room of the kings, dedicated to Balinese heroes.

For a most memorable cultural dining experience, everyone’s favorite is the Waroeng Tugu, a very atmospheric, humble open-air traditional 15th century village kitchen, lit only by oil lamps. Iboe (Mother) Soelastri, who is now more than 60 years old but has inherited her grandmother’s cooking talent since she was 4, cooks in the terracotta wood-fire kitchen in front of guests. She also invites guests to join her to the market before her cooking classes.

Known as serving the best Indonesian (Balinese and Javanese) food in the island, many see Tugu Bali and the other Tugu properties as the reference in Indonesian culinary in the nation, catering to a row of presidents and ministers of Indonesia.
