In Bali, life is inseparable from ceremony. Every morning, before the day has even begun, small offerings appear on doorsteps and shrines: woven palm leaves filled with flowers, rice, and a touch of incense. The air itself carries prayer, as smoke rises and gamelan notes drift from a nearby temple. Ritual here is not something […]

Garuda is one of Indonesia’s most enduring symbols — a figure of courage and loyalty that has shaped stories, art, and even the nation’s identity. This half-human, half-bird guardian has long been a cornerstone of heritage, so much so that the nation’s airline carries his name, Garuda Indonesia. In this guide, we explore the origins, […]

On this island, daily life is deeply connected to tradition, religion, and art, and that connection is beautifully expressed through clothing.  Each piece is rich with meaning, showcasing intricate details, vibrant colors, and elegant ornaments that highlight the island’s creativity and […]

In the lush folds of Ubud’s Valley of the Kings, Viceroy Bali has spent the past two decades shaping not only a sanctuary for discerning travellers but also a community rooted in culture, family, and care. This September, the family-owned resort marked its 20th anniversary with a series of events that celebrated heartfelt hospitality, enduring […]

Hidden deep in North Bali’s jungle is Sekumpul Waterfall, often called the “King of Waterfalls.” Getting there feels like a journey into a secret world: a path winding past rice fields, across bamboo bridges, and down narrow shaded steps. When you first see Sekumpul, it takes your breath away. Seven streams of water tumble down […]

Nusa Penida, Bali MĀUA Nusa Penida is excited to introduce Jalak Deck, a new signature space that celebrates both the beauty of the island and the art of gathering. With sweeping views of the lush forest and Bali’s spectacular sunrises, Jalak Deck is designed as a place where every moment feels memorable.

The name Jalak comes from the rare and critically endangered Bali Starling (Jalak Bali), a symbol of purity and rarity. By carrying this name, MĀUA honours Bali’s natural heritage while underscoring the importance of conservation and respect for the environment.

Jalak Deck is more than a viewpoint. At sunrise, it becomes a peaceful haven for yoga above the forest canopy. By day, it turns into a leisurely escape with sunbeds, afternoon tea, and light activities. Come evening, it transforms again into a warm, intimate setting for barbecues, outdoor movies, or private dinners. It also doubles as a stunning venue for weddings picture-perfect backdrop where couples can say their vows. 

“With Jalak Deck, we wanted to create a space that reflects the spirit of Nusa Penida while offering guests the freedom to experience it in different ways,” said Sebastien Menesguen, General Manager of MĀUA Nusa Penida. “From sunrise yoga to wedding celebrations, it’s a place made for unforgettable moments.”
