THE END OF A JOURNEY

‘Om Swastiastu...’
It has been 20 years since Bali & Beyond magazine was first published as a tabloid
before it was finally transformed into the magazine that we know today. However,
change is inevitable. It is with heavy hearts, we have to announce that the journey of
Bali & Beyond print magazine has come to an end.
Ironically, our last and final edition is also our 20th anniversary issue. Yet,
sometimes reality can be bittersweet, and we have no choice to but to face it
with our heads held high. Therefore, we have compiled special stories not to only
commemorate our birthday, but also to become a token of memory for you to
keep. And of course, we have prepared reviews and articles for you to have an
unforgettable summer experience in Bali in the months of July and August.
First and foremost, take your family for an adventurous day out to Aqualand
COVER in Bali Wake Park. The new addition to the island’s water attractions will
Photo by Bali & Beyond Magazine certainly bring your group together in such a fun activity – read our ‘ACTION &
ATTRACTION’ for more details. Then, take your loved ones to enjoy some Mauritian
flavors at Ti Moris Bali or indulge in selections of modern Japanese cuisine at Sake
no Hana. Flip through our ‘DINE & DELIGHTS’ to reveal our dining experience at
each restaurant.
For the ladies, get ready to enter this summer with style! Before going to
numerous parties, make sure that you have a dress that is fashionable and
comfortable at the same time. For some inspiration, take a look at our ‘FASHION
FOLIO’ where we feature the latest collections of four fashion houses in Bali. After
attending all those parties, it is only right to get pampered with a relaxing spa
treatment. Mandapa Spa at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve and Padma Spa at
Plataran Menjangan Resort & Spa have everything you need for undisturbed “me”
time. Find out more about each spa in our ‘INVITE & INDULGE’.
Last but not least, we would like to thank you, our avid readers, for your
continuous support. We certainly wouldn’t have reached 20 years without your love.
So for one last time, we wish you happy flipping through our pages.
‘Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om…’

meal time with family and friends.
Once I sat at my table together
with my little family, one of the staff
handed us the menu and helped us
choose our dishes.
For our starter, we opted for the
Gato Pima, which is known as a
classic Mauritian chili bite. This dish
got my attention as it “introduced”
me to yellow split peas, which I

and sautéed greens for side dishes.
For the carnivores, the Beef Salmi
is definitely a must-try. Marinated
with red wine, the beef cut is cooked
slowly with a blend of Mauritian
exotic spices and herbs that not
only elevates the meat flavor but
also makes it tender as well.
Another meaty dish that I personally
recommend is the La Daube, a slow-
cooked lamb dish with rich stew that
is just hard to resist. Smoked Rosemary Old Fashioned.
SWEET STUFF
The Ananas Flambé is the highlight
of the dessert menu. Even before
it was served on my table, this
dish already caught my attention.
Ti Moris is set with an open-style
kitchen, giving me the opportunity
to see how this dish was prepared
– it involves an attractive flambé

pineapple. The flambé was a show

MYSTIC MEDEWI
“Build your happiness,” he told me with a sly smile. We
were perched on two small wooden stools outside his tiny
hut by the river, watching fishing boats returning home from
a night’s journey. Moments earlier, I had been stepping on
stones softened by the caress of Medewi waves, ambling
with a heavy heart from the dawn’s alarming news; my
father’s health had deteriorated again.
I had spotted a group of local fishermen untangling their
nets and collecting their catch. I approached with a gentle
curiosity, assuming a smile as our shared language. A
tall middle-aged man emerged, looking youthful in a grey
beanie hat. I was taken aback by his English and direct
manner of speaking on philosophical topics, such as the
self and God. He seemed to be intrigued by the peculiar
girl who had befriended his village and invited me for lunch
with his wife.
I then continued my stroll, but on my way back, the
gentleman found me in silent tears – I could no longer
contain my grief from that morning’s weight. Rather than
cringe, he offered coffee and conversation. I felt solace in
his calm and encouraging demeanor. He told me stories
of his travels, anecdotes of people he met along the way,
and how life seemed to fall into place at the right moment.
He believed human beings were united in their universal
desire for satisfaction. More importantly, he spoke of
the unquestionable freedom in the simple acceptance of
everything, good or ill. “We must force ourselves to surpass
and continue to build upwards,” he explained.
I flew home a week later, putting an end to two beautiful
months on this island. Shortly thereafter, on the hazy
morning of May 17th, my father passed away. In the days
that followed, I sought for a way to honor his transition.
I had witnessed Balinese spirituality first-hand and felt an
impetus to adopt and adapt their tradition of canang (daily
offerings). Together with my family, I created personalized
flowered baskets, adorned with fine sand and shells from
my father’s favorite beach, bits of his favorite Belgian
chocolate, topped with Balinese incense and sprinkled with
Massachusetts seawater, all in an effort to guide his spirit
safely back to the home and family that still longed for him.
At times, I transport myself back to that fateful Bali
morning, where a complete stranger had opened his heart,
providing me with consolation and perspective when I had
felt lost. His honest character and raw emotion had been
profound and refreshing. He had challenged me with the
thought-provoking choice of happiness as an unwavering
decision. Now, in this present moment in the face of
adversity, I see overwhelming value in this man’s message.
I feel more empowered to choose positivity. I will follow the
path of conscious happiness, always treasure that simple
moment in the midday sun, gazing out at the river flowing
into the boundless sea, finding peace in acceptance.

THE ART OF NATURE
Pullman Bali Legian Beach once again pleased
every art enthusiast with the launch of this year’s
first Artist Playground showcase. Titled “Nature
of Culture”, the exhibition displays numerous
artworks by Balinese photographer Kadek Puja
Astawa, who aims to remind audiences that
photos can be a great medium to be grateful for
life. This exhibition will last until October 2, so
don’t miss it!

TOAST TO LEGEND
It was a night to remember as The Ritz-Carlton, Bali
hosted “Toast the Legend: Prestigious Taittinger
Dinner”. Located at the resort’s wedding chapel with
a view of the tranquil beach and ocean, the dinner
pampered guests with a nine-course degustation
menu, each one was beautifully paired with fine
champagne by Taittinger, including the Taittinger
Nocturne Sec NV to accompany the Valrhona
Guanaja for dessert.
